I would have to say opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan. that is the 1st thing that popped in my head when I read the question

I remember seeing it in the theater and feeling like I just sat through a full movie plus seeing some vets in the theater crying had a huge impact on me as well

After the first week or two, they added a warning at the beginning and a 1-800 for vets to call if they needed to speak to a counselor after seeing that depicted.

My high school civics teacher's father was a combat medic that landed in the first wave and he came and spoke to our class about it the landing at one point. He said the Tom Hanks shell-shocked sequences made him feel like he was back on the beach in 1944.

He passed away a few years ago.
