Mt essential collection includes:

These are just off the top of my head, I have lots more.

Most of my favorites are already here. +1 on 'Twelve O'Clock High', 'Zulu', 'Breaker Morant. I could watch 'Kelly's Heros' every day.

Haven't seen 'The Wind and the Lion' on the list. One of John Milius' best.
There's a great German movie called 'Die Brucke', ('The Bridge').
'What did you do in teh War, Daddy' is a riot.

Gallipoli (Mel Gibson, before he lost his mind)
The Lost Batallion
The Wind & The Lion (Sean Connery. Moorish Risuli with a Scottish accent)

A couple of oldies that were really good-
Mr. Roberts (classic)
Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison
The Charge of the Light Brigade (the one made in the '60s. Trevor Howard)

No one has mentioned Memphis Belle, yet. That was a good one, too.
