Hunt For Red October

I personally don't consider that one a war movie, more of a thriller. Otherwise it would've made the list because it's my in my top 5 films of all time.

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.

Platoon
Das Boot
