OK, this one should probably be near the end of your Neflix queue as far as a war movie. So after you've exhausted the others on this thread (excellent lists!), give this a try:
Pan's Labyrinth
Directed by Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy movies), it's set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. 1/2 war movie, 1/2 girl-and-her-imagination-movie. It splits these two plots quite equally. Subtitled and definately more drama than action. Leave your mind open for fantasy (yep, fairies and creatures) and you'll enjoy. I hope.
I hesitated a lot before posting this, as this movie may belong outside this war movie thread......
