PTO: Midway
ETO: Bridge Too Far or Patton
WWI: The Lost Battalion
Civil War: Gettysburg
Overall: Patton. I'm an ETO junkie.
Extreme Honorable Mention: Band of Brothers. Not a movie but my current absolute favorite story about armed conflict. Even my wife loves BoB.

It sooo has to be "A Bridge Too Far" which also gets my vote for the best score as well.
