That's a good list but I would add Zulu, the Green Berets, the Guns of Naveron, and Where Eagles Dare. Another good one one, but expensive and hard to find is Stalingrad.

While not my absolute favorite, Too Young The Hero is a great movie.

Another vote for Das Boot
One no one has mentioned, is Soldier of Orange, with a very young Rutger Hauer. Very well done epic, and tells the story from the Dutch perspective in WWII.
"...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

And another for Das Boot and Full Metal Jacket.
Platoon, The Deer Hunter and We Were Soldiers are good.
No one mentioned Apocalypse Now?
