The Counterfeiters (German)
The Black Book (Dutch/German)
Brotherhood (Korean)
Platoon
The Great Escape
Reach for the Sky
Dam Busters
The Pianist
Letters From Iwo Jima and Flags Of Our Fathers
Joint Security Area (Korean)
The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
Days of Glory (French)

I haven't finished Apocalypse Now, but I love what I did see of it.

I really like war films. They're a necessary reminder of the past.

Ones I want to see:
Empire of the Sun
Das Boot
Downfall
Lawrence of Arabia
The Last of the Mohicans
All Quiet on the Western Front
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Schindlers List

I'm not keen on Saving Private Ryan (except for the opening sequence) and Full Metal Jacket (except for the whole training bit).
