As an American I would put Band Of Brothers up there also. But I am partial to Gettysburg even though it was about the Civil War. The movie expressed both side's of view what they we're fighting for. Also the number of friends that fought against each other was heart wrentching.
Jeff Daniels character Colonel Chamberlain's speech about what they we're fighting for was inspiring:
"This is a different kind of army. If you look at history you'll see men fight for pay, or women, or some other kind of loot. They fight for land, or because a king makes them, or just because they like killing. But we're here for something new. This hasn't happened much in the history of the world. We are an army out to set other men free. America should be free ground, from here to the Pacific Ocean. No man has to bow, no man born to royalty. Here we judge you by what you do, not by who your father was. Here you can be something. Here you can build a home. But it's not the land. There's always more land. It's the idea that we all have value, you and me. What we're fighting for, in the end, is each other. Sorry. Didn't mean to preach. "
The book was good too.
For the British I would like to mention "The Battle Of Britain" and the Australians "The Lighthorseman".
