I always liked the Sand Pebbles. Navy gunboat in China during the Boxer Rebellion. Steve McQueen and Candace Bergen when she was only 19 years old.

Sand Pebbles is set in an interesting era... My great Uncle was in the US navy deployment in china in that time frame, I wish I knew enough about history to ask him more about it before he passed on.
as to war movies
the "best" movie about the Iraq war is "Saving Private Perez".... here's the trailer, I'll save you the trouble of googling for it

Some great ones mentiond here
No one has said Tora Tora Tora yet. First movie I saw after we moved back to the USA, first drive in movie ever. Pretty sure we saw Patton that same summer. OTOH I'm thinking I saw The Battle of Britain movie right before wee came over.
....and I'm gonna throw in Last of the Mohicans; hey the French and Indian War was a war too.
