FULL METAL JACKET  without a doubt! I especially love the boot camp part, I own the movie and watch it quite often.  Stanley Kubrick is a genius.

The Dirty Dozen
Taps (I know its a military academy movie technically.. but..)
The Big Red One

In Harm's Way  (what can I say, I'm a Navy guy)

Blackhawk Down  (I chuckled at the scene where the two guys were looking at the sunrise over the sea, and one said to the other, "If it weren't for the war, this would be a great place for a vacation."  My wife asked why I thought that was funny.  I told her that years ago, I had the same conversation with a guy in DaNang.)
