Does a miniseries count?

Band of Brothers

Other (less well-known) war movies:
Bat21
Hamburger Hill
The Big Red One
A Bridge Too Far
The Longest Day

and one movie well-worth watching:

Kelly's Heroes

A Silly Man picks up a piece of seeweed, puts it around his neck and runs along the beach yelling: Look at me, I'm The Vine Man...

Apocalypse Now is actually watchable for the first 50 minutes, but it just goes downhill from there.

fen enemy at the gates was very good as well.

Definitely Apocalypse Now: Redux.

A lengthier and more boring version of a lengthy and boring film?

The Russian WW 2 film 'Come and see' takes some beating as does the German film 'Downfall'.
