fbaezer: A few comments on your list:
Paths of Glory (Kubrick): Fantastic film. I own it on dvd.
Ran (Kurosawa): Another great film.
Gallipoli (Weir): This one is on
my list of dvd's to purchase.
The Killing Fields (Joffe): Haven't seen this one in a long time.
From Here to Eternity (Zinnemann): Great film.
Dr. Strangelove (Kubrick): One of the best movies of all time.
Alexandr Nevsky (Eisenstein): On my list.
The Red and the White (Jancsò): Saw this once. Honestly, I thought it was too confusing, too episodic. No narrative continuity, just a lot of senseless killing (which, I suppose, was the whole point).
Braveheart (Gibson): Not a big fan of this film. The battle scenes were good film, bad history.
Lawrence of Arabia (Lean): Can only truly be appreciated in the theater.
I'll add some to your list:
Sergeant York
The Caine Mutiny
Breaker Morant
La Grande Illusion
M*A*S*H
Patton
Catch-22
Mister Roberts
The Long Parade
Wings (1927)
The Dawn Patrol (1938)
And I'll echo
hamburger's endorsement of "All Quiet on the Western Front."
