***Haven't seen the movies you mentioned, but remember that "Paths of Glory"
was early Kubrick; have read good things about Das Boot, believe it won
a Cannes Film Festival Award once; "The Forbidden Games" is that domestic
or foreign?

It is French, 1956 I believe, by Rene Clement. It may not fit the standard definition of a war movie, but it is one of the greatest.

***Also, never saw "Patton", did you?

Ye, but long ago and don't remember being impressed. Generally, movies based in facts or biographies tend to be weak in the artistic department. Apparently, one can concentrate on either facts or artistic means, and the two approaches are orthogonal if not opposite.
