I guess you could also say Apocalypse Now, but I don't really classify that as a war film.

Darkest Hour is still in some theaters, I believe. More political than action but still a great, great WWII movie.

Come and See is on Amazon for a $2 rent.

It's the best WWII movie I've ever seen. Trailer

But for truly epic, watch Waterloo.

It's on Youtube...I don't know why it doesn't get more love. LINK

It's one of the most expensive, grandest, most extras and most directors of all-time. That sounds like a mess but it's not. Rod Steiger, Orsen Welles, Christopher Plummer.

It's a war movie worth owning.

Tora! Tora! Tora! is one of the most historically accurate war films out there, about the bombing of Pearl Harbor

Waterloo is also extremely historically accurate down to every battle and detail.

Good watch
