I saw Waterworld 20 years ago and Apollo 13 2 years ago. Bad choice made. I thought it sucked because they didn't land.

Kelly's Heroes

Nothing beats Band of Brothers IMHO.

Come and See (plenty of propaganda, but no Hollywood BS)

Saving Private Ryan had, at the time, the most realistic battle scenes. Almost "triggered" me.

But "favorite" would be the war comedy "Kellys Heroes" mentioned above.
