This is a great list of movies. I may need to start watching a lot of these, some for the first time, some for the 100th. I used these lists as a reminder: http://www.timeout.com/london/film/50-best-world-war-ii-movies
http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-world-war-ii-movies-of-all-time

Here are some of my favorites:

Band of Brothers is probably at the top, even if it isn't technically a movie

Saving Private Ryan
Bridge Over the River Kwai

Other good ones:
The Pacific (another mini series, I know....)
Stalingrad
Letter From Iwo Jima
Kelly's Heroes
The Dirty Dozen
The Longest Day
Patton
Tora! Tora! Tora!
A Bridge Too Far
Enemy at the Gates
Mdiway
Flags of Our Fathers
All Quiet on the Western Front (I liked the book more, I think)

Ones I need to See (I can't believe I haven't seen some of these)
Inglorious Basterds
Schindler's List
Das Boot
Tuskegee Airmen

There are a lot of good ones....
