My favorites are Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket.
Both of which tries to explain the psychological effects war has on people (and have pretty good action sequences to boot).

Full Metal Jacket tries to explain what it takes to mentally prepare a normal person for war and then how they act in it. Apocalypse Now explains what can happen when you are in a war for a prolonged period of time.

Here are some decent war films:

“Braveheart” is my all time favorite war movie. This is a wonderfully acted, directed, photographed, and designed film with great performances.
