Of course not. Escape To Victory is the best, there were some fine performances in that film.

Among them, certainly. But there is a fair bit of stiff competition.

"Tora! Tora! Tora!", "Das Boot" and the 1993 "Stalingrad" to name but three from the Second World War alone.

Or, more recently, "Fury".

I was slightly underwhelmed by "Dunkirk", but it captured an intensity that the earlier Hollywood WW2 epics lacked.

Sahara with Humphrey Bogart.
Band of Brothers is a much watch for everyone and I agree, New Dunkirk was weird and disappointing. John Mills version more believable..

A Winter War (Talvisota - original title) is very good and often over looked.

But for me
A Bridge Too Far
The Longest Day
Zulu
