War films that a 7 year old can watch.

I remember watching war films and films such as Grand Prix (1966) and Ben Hurr (1959). I watched in awe as a kid. Looking back they were pretty gristly.
War films from the sixties and seventies, kind of like the A-Team, the violence was high but no gore. Whereas war films of the 80's (Platoon, Hamburger Hill, Casualties of War) and 90's (Saving Private Ryan) started to take on a whole new level of realism and introduce a rather more realistic view of war?
My own recollections as a nipper:
The Bridge at Remagen
The Bridge too Far
Where Eagles Dare (just epic)
The Blue Max
Battle of Britain (although the burning scene I would watch with caution)
The Eagle has Landed - the film is awful; whereas the book is awesome.

I remember watching this when I was a kid. Always makes me wince when someone mentions this for the bit where one of them ends up with meat and one veg.
One of Mark Hamill's earliest films. Filmed straight after he did Star Wars.
