"The Director also sets the record straight on what would happen if oxygen masks were to drop from the ceiling: The passengers freak out with abandon, instead of continuing to chat amiably, as though lunch were being served, like they do on those in-flight safety videos."
-- The LA Times, in a review of 'Flightplan'

Pearl Harbor (new) was made during a time of high popularity of War movies. It feeded off patriotism and success of Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line to get money.
I think the Thin Red Line was one of the greatest war movies I have seen in a long time. It was philosophical as well as historically accurate. Some of the scenes in the movie were the most beautiful I have seen, and I really would like to visit the Marshalls and Guadalcanal someday.

Almost all of the best war movies ever made are the ones that go into a soldiers mind and show his/her tortured thoughts. They are often anti-war movies (Platoon, Apocolypse Now). The ones I hate the most are the ones that glorify war.Earl From Regina

Anyhow, in no particular order:
=Von Ryan's Express
=A Bridge Two Far (Can't beat Michael Caine, Sean Conrey, and Anthony Hopkins all in the same movie)
=Father Goose (Alright, alright, I know it isn't typically a war movie, but it is set during WW II in the South Pacific--not to mention, good ole Cary Grant)CheckSix
Equipment: A camera (who gives a rip about the brand?)

Saving Private Ryan.
One of the things i love about that movie is the accuracy. Based on a true story (except i believe the actual case was in the Pacific Islands can anyone confirm?). Well executed, what more can i say.
Pearl Harbour.
POOR, POOR, POOR
Been ages ago since i saw it but damn thats pretty much what me see now. the love story was irrelevant to the whole thing etc etc.
Band Of Brothers,
Dont think i need to say much
Black Hawk Down,
Watched it so many times. love it.
Windtalkers
At the start i was thinking, damn this is gonna have an awesoem ending. I was disappointed with the way to predictable ending
What im planning on seeing,
Toro Tora Tora (we rented it but out DVD player couldnt handle it, we have since got a new one)
D-DAY, (despite the fact its meant to be really really inaccurate)
and a couple of othersSam Rudge
A 5D3, some Canon lenses, the Sigma L and a flash

Saving Private Ryan- The film is really well done. I think that I have watched the D-Day sequence alone about 12 times.
Apocolypse Now- Another very good war movie. Sheen is great.
Enemy At The Gates- A great movie about one of the absolutely brutal theaters in WW2
Full Metal Jacket- Kubrick made a masterpiece with this one. There is no "major malfunction" with this movie.
Windtalkers- Great movie that brought the contribution of the Navajo in WW2 to the public.
We Were Soldiers- Very, very good.
Hamburger Hill was alright.It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.
