[KenONeill]

Ice Cold in Alex

The Longest Day

The Dam Busters

Sands of Iwo Juma

Bat 21

Battle of Britain

Sharpe's Waterloo

300

Aliens (Look, it's one of the best squad combat films ever made)

Tobruk (ok, maybe not that good, but it was the first film I saw on a colour Tv).

Ok, that's one zero.

Flight of the Intruder (partly a fictionalised version of Bat 21)

Where Eagles Dare

The Guns of Navarone

633 Squadron (if you like this, Mosquito Squadron is based on another of Frederick E Smith's 633 Sqdn books, and a fictional use of the actually prototyped Highball mine)

Battle of the Bulge

The Bridge at Remagen (again not terrific, but AFAIK the only film ever to use Shermans in the intended fire support role).

And did I remember to mention "Ice Cold in Alex" yet?

[Auric Goldfinger]

Zulu

Did you know the name of the First Zulu killed was called Will.

Micheal Caine said " When they charge, fire at Will"

My favorite 2 war films are "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Lawrence of Arabia"

Ken - the thread was 'your favourite 2 war films', not 'name every war film you've ever heard of'

[Handy Andy]

A bridge too far (suprised its not been mentioned before! )
