You should certainly add the Paths of Glory to that list. If you open your search wider and include the European ones, then such gems as Das Boot must be included too.On a less traditional note, I would also consider a masterpiece Seven Beauties definitely amont the best war movies ever made.
And.... my current favorite... easily one of the best... The Forbidden Games.
As far as the Saving Private Ryan... I din't realize how awful it was until I saw the Thin Red Line. While the TRL is not a masterpiece, it is also not full of phony offensive junk. If the TRL is simply a weak cheap coffee, then Saving is a cheap coffee with a very definite smell of unine in it.
