For newer movies - SPR, BHD, Battle Los Angeles. 13 Hours was a good movie, does it technically count as a military movie though?

I'll add:

We Were Soldiers Once (book is better)
Where Eagles Dare
Midway (the original)
The Pacific series (the book that Sledge wrote is one of the best I've ever read about war, just unreal)

I can't pick a favorite but A Bridge Too Far, Zulu, and Blackhawk Down are so freakin' good. Band of Brothers never gets old either.
