Paths of Glory was made in the 50s I think, with Kirk Douglas. It si in black and white however, but should be on DVD. The Blue Max was made in the 1960s with George Peppard and it-s in colour. That is defintely on DVD.

Das Boot
Stalingrad
Band of Brothers
SPR
Bridge over the River Kwai
Grave of the Fireflies
I think that Das Boot, Stalingrad and Band of Brothers are best at describing the feelings of the soldiers (but what I think really means very little as I was not in fact there).

Tuntematon sotilas by Edwin Laine. Just because it's Finnish
And it's something of a curiosity, a WWII film without Nazis, Americans, Japanese or Brits.
Re: Movies of WWII
You won't go wrong buying a Bridge Too Far, an excellent movie, featuring some classic actors and some 'up and coming' new boys, now accomplished actors. IMHO the scene with Larry Olivier, playing the Doctor who was being driven to where the paratroopers were about to surrender, is one of the most moving I've ever seen, he never says a word, but by God the emotion is powerful, it's all in the face, especially his eyes. A true classic.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
