Interested in thoughts. Looking for new things to watch, even if they are older films. Obviously Saving Private Ryan is up there.

My favorites are Black Hawk Down, We Were Soldiers and SPR.
Some others I like are Fury, Enemy at the Gates, and Rescue Dawn. Also, Platoon and Full Metal Jacket of course

Casablanca at the Alabama Theater once a year is an amazing experience that I'd highly recommend to anyone.

Twelve O’clock High is one of my all time favorites.

The best WWII movie you've never heard of:
An American airman is dropped into occupied France to assassinate a resistance agent suspected of being a Nazi spy. But he learns that dropping bombs on anonymous specks below is a lot easier than killing a man one-on-one...
The film's tough atmosphere and detail must have originated with writer Donald Downes. Wikipedia: "The film was based on an original story by Downes. He was an important OSS officer involved in numerous operations during the war, according to histories of the era."
Orders To Kill went virtually unseen for decades, but is now available on DVD. Anyone interested in war films should definitely check it out.
