I'll go with #30, Casablanca. Sure, not your typical in-your-face kind of war movie; instead a much more subtile commentary on the last great war.
And one of the most quoted, and misquoted, movies of all time.
ETA: Keith beat me to it! Ok, how about #4 Schindler's List. The girl in the red coat still haunts me.

I'll go with #9, BlackHawk Down. A solid movie which opened my eyes to stuff.
