I second those were good ones, but "Das Boot" was a german production, NOT Hollywood 
"Band of brothers" and "Saving Private Ryan", well while i think those are good entertaining films, there's not too much reality in them. Bit too much propaganda for my taste but entertaining films they are.

..to nit-pick your nit-picking
I totally agree with your opinion of Ryan, not much reality there except for the violence, but I disagree on BoB. I have met personally several of the actual men and got to talk to them
. There are parts of the show that are totally realistic (the history behind it). The directors changed weird things from the actual events. example: the nazi american guy from oregon. He was from Portland and not Eugene (as the show said.)
