Some of my favourites which I haven't seen mentioned yet:

The Thin Red Line

Stalingrad (1993 one, not the newer Russian film)

Downfall

Letters from Iwo Jima

The Admiral - it's a newish Russian film about one of the leaders of the anti-communist armies (the "White Army" during their civil war) Great action stuff and the story is really interesting, good look into one of the weirdest times in recent history.
If they made enemy at the gates anything like the book it would never get a certificate , far too graphic and harrowing
