Best Military Movies?

Tora, Tora, Tora - I watch it everytime I stumble on it.
The DI - Great watch for those going to USMC Bootcamp.
Sands of Iwo Jima - Saw for the first time when our SDI treated us to a double feature one Sunday during Basic at PI,
Battle Cry, the 2nd part of the double header. Kept us all gungy.
Battle of the Bulge - Great movie, can never turn this one off either.
The Patriot - Makes me proud of what we went thru to become this great country. I know it is fiction, but it still inspires me.
Deer Hunter - Mao Mao

Good list. Two more worth including are:

Zulu
Stalag 17
 
since this is an eclectic list, I have to add the Marx Brothers "Duck Soup".

Rufus T. Firefly: Awfully decent of you to drop in today. Do you realize our army is facing disastrous defeat? What do you intend to do about it?
Chicolini: I've done it already.
Rufus T. Firefly: You've done what?
Chicolini: I've changed to the other side.
Rufus T. Firefly: So you're on the other side, eh? Well, what are you doing over here?
Chicolini: Well, the food is better over here.
 
One more

30 Seconds over Tokyo. Great movie that was well done considering it was 1943. USS Hornet CV-8.

raimius, yes indeed, I clashed my sub movies, I like both U-517 and K19: The Widowmaker, the one with Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson, thanks! Serves me right for posting from smartphone...:eek:
 
If we're going Subs.... it's hard to beat Das Boot.... with just subtitles... can't do it without the German!
 
I didn't see this listed, but Men Of Honor was a great movie. Based on a true story, too.

I also thought The General's Daughter was a good one.
