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.
