Are there any foreign military or war films you found compelling?

I second Das Boot; it was compelling. It captured the hopelessness and deprivation of being on a U Boat...you could almost smell the squalor experienced on the submarine. If I were to chose a second it would be Bravo 2 Zero.

Seven samurai. A classic that got imported to the US as the magnificent seven.
The Samurai trilogy. Follows Miyamoto Musahashi's (Author of the Five Rings, the Japanese equivalent to Sun Tzu Art of War) life in the years leading up to the Sengoku Jidai (Age of the Country at War) period.
I haven't found any good movies about China's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but the literature from that era is amazing.

My father made me watch seven samurai, it was one of the first movies for his brand new HIFI VCR. I remember being offended that that he was forcing me to watch a black and white film. Twenty minutes later I was hooked.
