Saving Private Ryan by far. Arguably the best film ever made. Tom Hanks particularly was on absolute top form, and Matt Damon too.

I also recommend a recent film called 1917. Very good.

The original or the one on Netflix? I liked it but it was too dubbed for my liking. Plus it's seen from the German perspective which is a bit strange.

Between Ely and Mildenhall

Theirs is the glory.

Filmed in Arnhem in 1946 using 200 veterans of the airborne forces who had taken part in the actual battle.

Due to the involvement of the veterans, It's more true to life than A Bridge To Far

The longest day 'only film to properly feature pegasus Bridge'.

Outside of that.

1917, saving private Ryan, 13 hours, black hawk down, tears of the sun, Lone survivor, the outpost, American sniper, the siege of Jadotville and Kajaki
