The BBC Drama Documentary on D-Day (discussed elsewhere on the forum) was pretty good and is now available on DVD.
My personal choice of war films:
Patton
Twelve O'Clock High
The Cruel Sea
Das Boot
The Battle of Britain
Band of Brothers

'A Bridge Too Far', essentially a later follow-up to 'Longest Day', has its moments but strays too far from the actual events, especially towards the end.
