Operation Secret (1952) Above-average espionage yarn about a Nazi secret weapon. Starring Cornel Wilde, Steve Cochran, Phyllis Thaxter and Karl Malden. Wilde is a mystery man, Thaxter is a phony nun, and Malden is part of the French Foreign Legion. Good B-17 footage for the air power buffs.
O.S.S. (1946) Alan Ladd and Geraldine Fitzgerald spying behind enemy lines in wartime France. One of the trio of "now-it-can-be-told" postwar films (the others being Cloak and Dagger and 13 Rue Madeleine).
The Outsider (1961) Tony Curtis as a Native American who helps raise the flag at Iwo Jima.
Passage to Marseilles (1944) Though often compared to Casablanca because of similarities in cast and situation, the movie should be judged on its own merits as a Michael Curtiz-directed WWII propaganda film with some good acting and decent action sequences to balance out the cliched script.

PT 109 (1963) Cliff Robertson does a nice job portraying future President John F. Kennedy as the captain of a PT (Patrol Torpedo) boat operating in Japanese-controlled waters during World War II. Based on a true story, it is obviously as much legend as fact, but is an entertaining tale despite the over two hours length. Robert Culp, Norman Fell, James Gregory, Ty Hardin and Robert Blake co-star.

Sole Survivor (1970-TV) Based on the true story of an American bomber found in the Libyan desert in 1960, it is really a wartime ghost story, and a good one, starring Vince Edwards, Richard Basehart, and William Shatner. The story was also done as a Twilight Zone episode.
*South Pacific (1958) This list wouldn't be complete without a musical... and what a musical! One of Rodgers and Hammerstein's best, filled with great songs and some actual battle footage. Buy this movie!
*Stalag 17 (1953) William Holden won a Best Actor Oscar as a suspected collaborator in this great prisoner-of-war tale directed by Billy Wilder and featuring Otto Preminger as the Nazi commandant. Buy this movie!
Stand By For Action (1942) Stirring WW II naval adventure with some surprising comic elements benefits from a strong lead and supporting cast, including Robert Taylor, Brian Donlevy, Charles Laughton, Walter Brennan, and Chill Wills.
