Having watched braveheart the other night, I was just wondering if there are other epic movies that I may have missed out on? It must be the same genre type i.e historical war/large scale battles.

I've seen the following that spring to mind:

300
Kingdom of Heaven
The Patriot
LOTR
Troy
 
Gladiator(big battle in the beginning and very good film)
The Last Samurai
Alexander(not that good film though)
Master and Commander, ship to ship battle in places, rest is very good too
 
Saving Private Ryan
Full Metal Jacket

Not really a film, but Band of Brothers is one of my all time favourite epic war stories.
 
Apocalypse now
We were soldiers
The pianist
Where eagles dare
Dirty dozen
A bridge too far
Empire of the sun
Gladiator
Platoon
Kellys heroes
Das boot
The deer hunter
The bridge on the river kwai
Escape to victory
The great escape
Full metal jacket
Enemy at the gates
Schindler's List

As has already been mentioned, The Big Red One. My favourite war movie, Lee Marvin in one of his best roles I think. Also, it's got Mark "not just Luke Skywalker" Hamill in it who is very good too.
 
Watched el alamein last night its an italian movie from 2002 with english subs not ever heard of this one so got it on a whim it was very good and showed how mussalini and the germans totally crumbled and left many for dead once the british had the upperhand.
Had me wrapped up in it anyway feeling sorry the italians and feeling proud at the same time as the british gave them what for.
Not sure how accurate it was but it was intended as a tribute from an italian perspective to the italians who lost their lifes deffo worth a watch anyway if you have seen all the major movies.
