You beat me to the recommendation for Come and See. It’s worth watching just to see the largest and arguably the most terrible war ever fought from the perspective of one of the combatant countries. It’s almost dreamlike in places, nightmarish in others, but either way you won’t soon forget it. It does get mentioned in a fair number of “most disturbing movies ever made” lists so fair warning going in.

World War 2 from Space HD
I watched this on Netflix a few years ago and loved it. Documentary does a fantastic job of displaying how massive the war was on a global scale from a game of Risk perspective.

Looks like a Midway movie is coming out in 2020 if you can wait.

Will also show the battle being turned by a black mess boy, who bravely assumes command during the attack.

Patton was a prima dona , but at least he admitted it!!!!!

I made a quick list of ones I thought might not get mentioned before opening this thread. They all got listed.
Stalag 17
Sahara
Guns of Navarone
Obviously, many others came to mind, but they were also listed multiple times
The only one I could think of not listed that is very underrated, but deals less with war-time and uses a prison camp as its setting is
King Rat

I've been waiting for a modern update (but not a modern in the sense of Flyboys or shite like that.)
Modern in the sense of Flags of our Fathers or Letters from Iwo Jima.
Midway is one of the most important victories in the history of Western Civilization.
We crushed the Japanese at Midway which occurred only six months after Pearl Harbor which destroyed much of our Fleet.
“The most stunning and decisive blow in the history of naval warfare”
— John Keegan, Miltary Historian
“They had no right to win. Yet they did, and in doing
so they changed the course of a war. More than that, they
added a new name – Midway – to that small list that inspires
men by example, like Marathon, the Armada, the Marne.
Even against the greatest odds, there is something in the
human spirit – a magic blend of skill, faith and valor – that
can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.”
— Walter Lord
