Some possible options are: Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Glory, Saving Private Ryan, The Thin Red Line, All quiet on the western front, Bridge on the River Kwai, Letters from Iwojima.. There are others like Deer Hunter or Black Hawk Down which are kinda movies but kinda not.

Anyways, what is your pick as the best or maybe even a top 3.

I agree.

Also I'll go out here and say that Full Metal Jacket is a little overrated. The first half was good and a little disturbing which was the point. I liked it. Second half was meh.

Black Hawk Down was a great action movie but was obviously a "rah rah **** yeah Murica" movie. Lacks the depth of a SPR.

Haven't seen older movies that usually are in this conversation like Tora! Tora! Tora! but it's tough to surpass Saving Private Ryan imo.

Black Hawk Down is my favorite.

"I am in a world of sh*t." ftw. (FMJ).

Honorable mentions:
Starship Troopers (felt more like a ride than a movie).
Saving Private Ryan (best first half-hour, ever. Ever.)

Modern foreign language films pretty much trump western made war films. Brotherhood (Korean), City of Life and Death(Chinese), Assembly (Chinese), Downfall (German) are better than almost all western war movies.
