Dr Strangelove Saving Private Ryan Where Eagles Dare Apocalypse Now Band of Brothers
-I hope 60's films count as modern or else that list is void. And i know Band of Brothers was made as a tv series but it's too good to be left of this list, and it sure looks like a film. If that didn't count then i'd put Master and Commander in its place
Saving Private Ryan - Amazing, an epic. To End All Wars - A stunning film, starring Robert Calysle. Intense. Empire of the Sun - I hope we are counting 80's as modern. This though not directly a combat war film, was direclty linked to the war, and was superb. The Killing Fields - Another 80's film, another fantastic epic. Don't be put off by the title, it really is a masterpiece. Red Scorpion - Dolph Lundgren in Arnie mode, comic war film at it's best.

I thought "Band of Brothers" was very good too, and apparently it is faithful to the actual events.
