In no order
Das Boot. See it in the original German
Downfall. Ditto about the German. Both movies make you feel like you are there
Conspiracy. Based on the actual notes of the meeting where the Final Solution was codified.
All's Quiet On the Western Front. Both the B and W and the one with John Boy
Bridge on the a River Kwai
The Beast. About a Russian tank crew in Afghanistan
A Bridge Too Far
The Deer Hunter
The Blue Max
The Patriot. Cheesy but about the only decent Revolutionary War movie

Not much out there Must See for Civil War or Korean War IMO. I also never miss
In Harms Way
The Big Red One

Has there ever been a movie with an all-star cast of this level? Some of the star appearances were brief but just to name a few:
Sean Connery
Ryan O'Neal
Gene Hackman
Michael Caine
Anthony Hopkins
James Caan
Maximilian Schell
Elliot Gould
Laurence Olivier
Robert Redford

In Harms Way is close

I think The Longest Day beats them both as far as "all star casts go.
