The lastest one would be fury starring brad pitt and unbroken which is directed by angelina jolie and stars a famous jap rock star in the movie called miyavi.
Classic ones would be apocolypse now and full metal jacket. I like that one.

The Longest Day is a true account of D Day. Although it had plenty of big name movie stars, they were playing real life people who were involved with D-Day.
It is really a classic & that's why I the DVD in my DVD collection.
always get a kick out of "purple sunset" 2001 - ww2 movie about soviet invasion of manchuria with japs being rolled over by tanks.
http://www.movies.com/purple-sunset/m24534
from wikipedia about the invasion of manchuria by soviet and mongolian forces.....
"Tsuyoshi Hasegawa's research has led him to conclude that the atomic bombings were not the principal reason for Japan's capitulation. He argues that Japan's leaders were impacted more by the swift and devastating Soviet victories on the mainland in the week following Joseph Stalin's August 8 declaration of war because the Japanese strategy to protect the home islands was designed to fend off a US invasion from the South, and left virtually no spare troops to counter a Soviet threat from the North. This, according to Hasegawa, amounted to a "strategic bankruptcy" for the Japanese and forced their message of surrender on August 15, 1945.[23][24] Others with similar views include The "Battlefield" series documentary,[2] Drea,[19] Hayashi,[20] and numerous others, though all, including Hasegawa, state that the surrender was not due to any single factor or single event."

Nobody like Chinese war movie?

German u boat. Das Boot
I find German war movies more realistic. Instead of Hollywood style of glory, German depict the real horror and brutality and terror of frontline combat.
Another great show was Stalingrad. Watched in the movie, cinema boh langs, only war movie bluff as the show in German. Music very stunning.

Still have that, whistling theme in my brain...hated the film, not because it was not well made or what!....this film actually made me loose my respect for the British, till this day & I watched this at the cinema when I was young....
Please refer to the links in my signature.
星星月亮太阳 Chapter I & II, watch this at Majestic Cinema, when I was young with my uncle, both the films, couldn't understand much about the story, till I was older...Chinese War Film ( WWII) with love story!
The Blue Max, George Peppard
Yeah - all I remembered of this movie was that the hero did not get any of the 3 girls at the end of the war. What struck me was also they had scenes with epic proportions - Chinese soldiers marching to the front.......

This is German version of Stalingrad in 1993. Anyone after watching the above scene still think warfare is fun should have his brain examine.
