Live Poll: Most Epic Historic Battle Field
Like Dunkirk (2017), Christopher Nolan's latest movie about the evacuation of Allied soldiers who were cut off and surrounded by the German army from the beaches of Dunkirk (France) at the start of WWI, some of the most memorable battles captured on screen are based on true historic events.
Which of the following movies delivered the most epic depiction of a real historic field battle?
List: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls068567660/
Poll: http://www.imdb.com/poll/gAU97hOYNBY/
Vote also for: Greatest Naval Battle on Screen
(suggestions welcome - please only one movie for each major battle field)

FYC:
Military history is not my forte so perhaps these battlefields are already represented but maybe Platoon and The Bridge over the River Kwai? Admittedly, I have't seen either in quite a while so my memory is also a bit rusty. I know I loved The Bridge over the River Kwai but I don't remember a whole lot of it. Oh, and perhaps Gallipoli?

I thought Dunkirk happened at the start of WWII.
