Not sure if it counts as a war movie but The Last Castle is a favorite of mine. Others include....

Saving Private Ryan
Restrepo
Band of Brothers (its a movie to me...)
Thirteen Days
The Hurt Locker

I want to see Taking Chance, but it seems like it would be one of the saddest movies so I am having trouble bringing myself to watch it.

Fire base Gloria
Battle of the Bulge
Tobruk
The Great Escape
Bridge over the River Kwai
The Longest Day
A Bridge Too Far
In Harm's Way

Scifi and war movie The Final Countdown. Love it!

I like a lot of the others mentioned, so I added those not already mentioned

[Mud_Pig]

Band of Brothers

Full Metal Jacket
We Were Soldiers
Heartbreak Ridge
Hamburger Hill
Braveheart (a different kind of war)
Battleground

And im sure there are a few more, just cant think of them at this time.

I think a good war movie is one that is so good and realistic enough, that you can't watch it often.

Saving Private Ryan
Black Hawk Down
We Were Soldiers

Band of Brothers gets honorable mention. As for actual quality, I wold put it just ahead of SPR. Being a mini series, I don't count it as an actual movie.
