Close Combat: Cross of Iron

 The movie Cross of Iron is crazy good, watch it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074695/
 

I've watched it a few times over the years and do like it as it depicts soldiers not as heroes but instead just trying to survive. Another one in the same type of genre is Stalingrad although it's more bleak. My favourite war movie of all time is not the movie version but the TV series of Das Boot. I watched it when I was a child in my parents kitchen and every couple of years I crack open the DVD and watch all episodes back-to-back. It captures wonderfully the mundane existence on a submarine punctuated with sheer terror.
