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

Mel Gibson when he could act

Don't think this has ever been shown on tele.
Wasn't it a dig at the Vietnam War, by some who were trying to show the American government up.
Yes I know it was based on a true story

Soldier Blue has been on TV, but so much was cut it was pointless.
