Since the original request was not clear as far as what he was looking for in the war movie, I guess just about anything goes (that is why Ryan is probably going to make it on the list).There are two basic ways to get someone's attention. One is to hit him on the head with a hammer. Hollywood is good at that and that approach does, indeed, get attention. We shall leave it at that for a moment.
Another one is to speak softly in a loud room (it also impies that you are saying somentihg meanigful...). Good masters of crowd control have been practicing it for centuries with great results. Unlike the first approach, this one requires true skills and good examples rarely can be found.
I am not going to comment much on the Ryan piece that I consider an offensive junk (it is what a Cadillac with gold trim and leopard interior is to fine automobile design), with Platoon being just one step behind, but there are fine movies in the second category too. Full Metal Jacket yes (that one sort of crosses the chasm), Das Boot without any questions, Paths of Glory, Grand Illusion, The Tale of a Soldier, and my all-time favorite, The Forbidden Games.
