I'm a Junkie when it comes to movies about war. My "favorite"(too many to list) movies about war are
Patton- G.C.Scotts best role and shows aspects from the command perspective.
Bridge on the River Kwai- Great acting and shows things from different perspectives. Paths of Glory 2nd from this point of view
Lawrence of Arabia- majestic in every way
Apocalypse now- trippy.

All Quiet On the Western Front deserves a mention and while perhaps not top tier, I have always found The Guns of Navarone, consistently entertaining.

 Yep Drama that was one of the best, also a little known movie The Seige at Jadotville. Irish Company , true story, honor above all.

Lots of GREAT movies here.
I'd add "Blackhawk Down." While not a declared war, certainly plenty of war involved.
An extra nod to "Lawrence of Arabia." One of the all time best movies ever, regardless of genre.

Truthful documentaries which depict the real circumstances through the eyes of those who were there.

Jeepers, there are so many here that I've never seen or even heard of... Time to do a Netflix search.

All of the above, and more... to include:
Not so much a war movie as it was of a military trial; perhaps two wars at once...
Sergeant Rutledge (1960)

As they don't make decent war movies in this genre anymore, I found the French TV series: A French Village a delight. 7 Seasons with a great cast depicting life under Nazi occupation. It is continually evolving through the war years and is very involving and top notch binge worthy.
I saw it on the MHZ network via subscription on Prime.
