Which WWII movie is your favorite?

And it's a good opinion: a very large number of D-Day vets agree with you.

I didn't like the D-Day scenes, mainly because of what I thought were too many cliches: The guy gets saved by his helmet, takes it off and immediately takes a second one to the head. The medics save a wounded man, and he immediately takes one to the head.

I liked the Waco glider, and I liked Nathan Fillion of Firefly/Serenity as the 'other' Private Ryan, but on the whole I much preferred Band Of Brothers and The Longest Day for the same story.
