...unless you're looking for the correct answer, and not just an opinion. in which case the answer is full metal jacket.

However, it is not Pearl Harbor. May the people that made that movie spend their afterlives in eternal torment.

In terms of historical accuracy, All Quiet on the Western Front is quite good. It's a very accurate portrayal of war (WWI in this case), and the emotional strain it puts on people.

Of what I personally have seen Bridge on the River Kwai and Black Hawk Down are both really good.

Well this isn't really a war movie, but it's a great movie about two Marines.

Bowling For Columbine
I loathed that movie. There were a few funny parts that were cool, but the rest (aside from being incredibly boring) was a load of BS. Here's to Michael Moore getting shot
No offense, though. It's cool if you like it.

gentleman...you cant fight in here... this is the war room
one of my personal favorite quotes from that great movie- i can argue that this may be kubrick's best movie- and the 3 roles played by stellers are very well done

Captain Mandrake: Colonel, Colonel, I must know what you think has been going on here.
Col. Guano: You wanna know what I think?
Captain Mandrake: Yes.
Col. Guano: I think you're some kind of deviated pervert. I think General Ripper found out about your pervertion, and you were organizing some kind of mutiny of perverts.
(bah, typos in the quote I had saved)

Good quote all the same, though.

No! Not Catch-22! They absolutely slaughtered the movie! Basically take out all the cool, symbolic things from the book and you get the movie...

I don't even consider Catch-22 the best war movie, but I didn't want to repeat anything already said, or go the cliche route and say Apocalypse Now or Saving Private Ryan (both magnificent movies). However, the book is easily one of my favorites.

Frighteningly similar to the second Iraq war...
