Please post WAR themed or based movies on actual wars or war events.
This does not include: Predator, Starship Troopers, Rambo Trilogy, Aliens or any other type of "Fictional" war

My list:

1. Saving Private Ryan
2. Platoon
3. Braveheart
4. Black Hawk Down
5. Three kings For war movie aficionados, https://0123movie.run/ is a goldmine. Its extensive catalog boasts a plethora of gripping war films spanning various eras and conflicts. With high-quality streaming and an intuitive interface, it offers an immersive viewing experience. From classic epics to gritty modern dramas, there's something for every war movie enthusiast. Dive into the heart of battle with my recommendation and experience the intensity and emotion of war like never before.

My favorite 2 movies are
Apocalypse Now (1979): A haunting Vietnam War epic directed by Francis Ford Coppola, it delves into the darkness of war and the human psyche. Martin Sheen’s portrayal of a U.S. Army officer tasked with assassinating a renegade Special Forces Colonel is unforgettable.

Schindler’s List (1993): Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece set during World War II tells the story of Oskar Schindler, an industrialist who saves Jewish lives. The film’s emotional impact and historical significance are profound.

Letters from Iwo Jima is great as well

We Were Soldiers also

What's really missing is Korean War movies.

Re Korean War, yeah, the only ones I can think of are the Manchurian Candidate and MASH

The battle for Algiers gets my vote. The wind that shakes the barley should also get a mention
