The Deer Hunter is by far my favorite war film of all time. It is thematically massive and presents some of the most iconic cinematic scenes in film history, at the very least in my opinion.

It's a beautiful beautiful movie, and extraordinarily unapologetic when it comes to artistic license during some of its more climactic moments...I highly recommend it to anybody with the patience to sit through the entire thing (it's a little over 3 hours long) , as it's probably one of the greatest movies of all time.

La Grand Illusion is also a great pick, and historically relevant on a variety of levels.
