Bitka na Neretvi (AKA The Battle of Neretva)

By the way, if anyone knows where I can find the uncut version or anything longer that the 106 min version please send me a private message.

If you were to ask me to name just one war movie to see, I'd say Platoon

Here are some classics and some oddly interesting ones
 

These are some great world war II flicks of the old school:

Guadalcanal Diary
Sands of Iwo Jima
Sink the Bismarck !
The Battle of Britain
Tora Tora Tora
Midway
Bomber Command
The Best Years of Our Lives
The Bridge over the River Kwai
Tobruk
Judgement at Nuremberg

Good old school Korean War Flick:
The Bridges at Toko-Ri

One new one I didnt see mentioned:
Windtalkers (get ready !)

OffBeat, but cool:
The Eagle has Landed
Zeppelin
The Blue Max
News from the Forest
The Man who Would be King
Henry the V (with Olivier)
Spartacus
The Warlord ( Heston and Boone 1968)
55 Days at Peking (cool-Boxer rebellion of 1901)
Ronin ( Akiro Kurasawa )
As You Can See, I'm a War flicks afficionado !

Not a war movie but set in a war and one of the best court room drama's ever filmed IMO, Breaker Morant.

Is Sahara available?

Nice picks.

Not a "serious" war movie and I haven't seen it in years, but I used to love watching Kelly's Heroes.

Looks like all the good ones have been previously mentioned, but here are the ones I've enjoyed:

All Quiet on the Western Front
Apocalypse Now
Band of Brothers
Battle of Algiers
Black Hawk Down
Braveheart
Das Boot
Dr. Strangelove
Enemy at the Gates
Full Metal Jacket
Henry V
Platoon
Saving Private Ryan
Schindler's List
Spartacus
The Bottom Line
The Deer Hunter
The General
The Last of the Mohicans
The Pianist

Edit: Grave of the Fireflies (warning: this is the second saddest movie I've ever seen. I took a chance and watched it for the second time just earlier this week, and I bawled so hard. It's terribly heartbreaking, but nonetheless, a beautiful film. Probably not something you could stomach more than twice in a lifetime).

...since, as a mere boy (from ages 8 to 12) I was a 'guest' in a couple of Japanese internment camps (in what was then the Dutch East Indies, and is now Indonesia), I thought it might be a good idea to refer to the (very rare!) movies made on the subject:
"Three Came Home" (available on a plain Jane DVD)
"A Town Like Alice" (available on R2/UK DVD)
"Empire Of The Sun" - already mentioned above
"A Town Like Alice" - British/Australian mini-series
"Paradise Road" - an Australian fim
"Furyo" - a.k.a. "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" - a Japanese/British/New Zealand film, probably the best of the bunch...

... :o ...

Empire of the Sun, great choice, Hendrik!

Another great not-serious war movie, 1944 :)

...Yes...!...

. . . :o . . .

...oh... and "King Rat" is, too...!...

. . . :o . . .

some recomendations:

Blue Max (WWI planes, no computer graphics, real planes)
Iron Cross (WWII, the Russian front, good T-34 scenes on action)
A Bridge too far (WWII, far from the Holyoodesque typical film, the history of an allied loose!!)

Paths of Glory and The Great Escape are must-see war films!

Clint mowing down Nazi with submachine gun, enough said. :)

No mention of Saints and Soldiers yet??

I highly recommend it.

...but... but... but... that's a Mormon movie... isn't it ?
