World War era movie anthology

Almost feel like you have to add Winds of War even though it was just a mini-series.

Never seen it. I tried to keep it to movies i've seen, and recent (last 30 years or so) outside of Das Boot. Though i recognize they made many world war movies prior to the 90's, my knowledge of most of those films is very little. For that, i'll rely on you guys.

Bridge on the River Kwai
The Great Escape
A Bridge Too Far

Where would you put those in the timeline?

Run Silent Run Deep
The Bridge at Remagen
The Longest Day
Windtalkers

Edit: I think Remagen was part of Band of Brothers so that may be redundant.

Same for The Longest Day.

Von Ryan's Express is one to put close to the end of WWII in Europe.
