Best Military/War Movie

I was just listening to the soundtrack of the Thin Red Line, which to me is the best war movie for me. This led me to this idea for an interesting thread.

I like best the scene where they are about to attack and then they get sniped on the hills.

What's your favorite military/war movie?
Which part of the movie is your favorite?

For me, it's Saving Private Ryan.

Oh geez. Well, what genre? I mean, you almost have to pick a war...and there's no way I can only pick one movie. But, to wit..

All Quiet on the Western Front
The Longest Day
The Big Red One
Gettysburg


That's as short a list as I can make right now.

The Thin Red Line is amazing. It's unfortunate that Terrance Malick only makes a picture once every decade.

Tears of the Sun has a lot of really great choreographed military action. I really enjoy Bruce Willis in most every picture he does.

I like Black Hawk Down, but the theatrical version is poorly edited. The Director's Cut is much better. It's difficult to keep up with the many characters.

I'm really partial to The Great Raid. Something abut that film is just amazing. I can't put my finger on it, maybe it's because it was an underdog feature, but i love.

Megaforce is clearly the most awesome (and realistic) war movie ever made.
