Pretty awesome. A rare look at the war through the German Army perspective.

Perhaps the best war movie ever.

Dirty Dozen is unessential (the book is terrible)- for fun war movies, have to put Where Eagles Dare in there. 36 hours with James Garner (and Sgt Schultz!) is another non-intense, but enjoyable, WWII movie.

I'd include the Guns of Navaronne, if only as a nod to Alistair MacLean for his cool novels.
