 I'm sorry, that is disqualified as that is a wars movie.

Most atrocious war movie, sci-fi category: Starship Troopers.  A huge insult to the Yes song.   Who's with me on this?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

"Battleship Potemkin" a war movie? it is a movie about a mutiny which leads to the Russian revolution, but a war movie? Sergej Eisenstein would probably cringe if he read that

I'm with you! I laugh at how bad that movie is. Though Dina Meyers is cute in it! Embarrassed

Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down are probably the most accurate war movies.

All Quiet On The Western Front
The Dirty Dozen
Apocalypse Now
Platoon
Das Boot
 
 
Between those 5......  I'll go for the first one, because it's the least likely to get a vote.... But I find Platoon the only war movie I've had an urge to see a second time...
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Best on the list definitely 'Das Boot'  (What a superb theme by Klaus Doldinger BTW! Clap )

But others are even better. I think the very best is 'The cross of iron' directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring James Coburn, Maximillian Schell and James Mason.
Close second is original 'Die brücke'.
I also enjoyed 'Gettysburg' very much. It's only true weakness is clumsy and poorly co-ordinated fighting scenes. (Especially portraying "Pickett's charge")
Don't panic

Not in the list or a conventional war movie, but Failsafe.
