      Das Boot about a German U-boat (submarine) crew is an interesting choice and also a top film.

      Yes, that was a great war movie which taught about the immorality of war.  So was Stalingrad.  Everyone should see Stalingrad.  It showed the utter cruelty and brutality of war.

   Porkchop Hill (Korea)
   We Were Soldiers
   Bridge Over The River Kwai
   The Longest Day
   Kelly's Heroes
   Battlefield
   Gettysburg (Civil War)
   Full Metal Jacket
   
   I highly recommend Kelly's Heroes if you need a laugh. I got memories of watching that movie as a kid with my dad.

      So far this is looking like the best answer, just as my own personal opinion. I need to watch some of these movies that others have suggested, because I don't think I have seen some of them. Bridge on the River Kwai and Where Eagles Dare are great.
