Fully agree on all those mentioned, but I have some others to add.
Saving Private Ryan
The Deer Hunter
Apocalypse Now
I have yet to see All Quiet On The Western Front (based on Erich Maria Remarque's 'Im Westen Nichts Neues'), both the original from the thirties and the TV movie from '79, but I hear they're pretty good too.
I'm also very anxious to see Der Untergang, soon appearing in cinemas.
Worst war movie ever: Pearl Harbor

band of brothers and saving private ryan are top of my list,i like pearl harbour but as brembo said its a romantic love story more than a war film,well 3/4 of it anyway.

I would like to add
1. Das Boot / The Enemy Below /Run Silent Run Deep - submarine thrillers
2. Patton
3. The Bridge on the River Kwai
4. The Longest Day
5. Operation Petticoat - funny
6. Where Eagles Dare
7. The Great Escape
8. The Guns of Navarone
9. Tora Tora Tora
10. The Scarlet and the Black
11. All quiet on the Western Front
12. Braveheart - though I am yet it see it from beginning to end (I have seen it 7 times and always got interrupted )
Some of the above listed movies show battle scenes while the rest are constructed with the war going on in the background.
My favorite in the above set? --> "All quiet on the Western Front" - a pathbreaking anti-war war movie. It is black and white and is a silent movie but the way it presents war is magnificent. A must see in my book .....

LOL, Sameerrao beat me to it, he listed a lot of good movies.
Band of Brothers easily tops the list, everyone should see that at least once.
Midway is a classic
Behind Enemy Lines
We Were Soldiers
Pearl Harbor was good, even with it's hokey love story
Stripes, does that count as a war movie? 
Thats all I can come up with at the moment.
