Well, my favorite WWII movie would most definitely be Saving Private Ryan. The way the opening invasion of Normandy is filmed really makes you appreciate the sacrifices of the men who served there, as well as just blowing you away with the sheer magnitude of the battle itself. I've heard stories about vets breaking down in tears because it was THAT realistic and evoked such strong memories. Not to mention the rest of the story, which is simply masterful.

However, my most favorite WWII related program is without a doubt Band Of Brothers. It was filmed for HBO and was a 10-part mini-series about the 101st Airborne, who fought in Europe. Because it was about 12 hours of footage, and includes a documentary with the soldiers themselves, it becomes a much more personal event, where you see the soldiers in their 70s-80s telling their own stories, and then you see them as portrayed by the actors. It's a different, more personal perspective than Saving Private Ryan, but it does an incredible job of story telling nonetheless.
