Sergeant York
Thee Kings
Manchurian Candidate (the original - not sure if that one counts though)
The Green Berets
We Were Soldiers
Black Hawk Down
Midway
Patriot? Horrible movie. I think in addition to Jews Mel Gibson really has a hatred worked up for the British. He portrayed them as heinous as the Nazis, comitting genoside. The writing was also klunky. I hated that movie.

Three Kings, on the other hand, is a worthy mention. Good movie.
