My combined favorites are:

Braveheart
Glory
Gallipoli
The Bridge Over the River Kwaii
The Great Escape
An Officer and a Gentleman
Courage Under Fire

Saving Private Ryan and Pearl Harbor had absolutely awesome depictions of the historical D-Day and the attack on Pearl Harbor, but they didn't have the emotional impact on me as a whole, as a story, as those I listed had.
