I know there are a couple of Stalingrad movies out there, so I don't
which you are
speaking of, so forgive me if I repeat what you have said: There is a
german made
movie called Stalingrad, and it's quite good. I don't know if you want
to avoid
Subtitles or not, but it's worth it.

There is also a good Australian film called 'The Light Horsemen', (I
think that's
the name).

 'The Bridge at Remagen' is very hollywood, but it's filled with all
sorts of good
visuals that can be stripped for good scenario ideas.

While I am at it, I'm going to have to recommend 'Kelly's Heroes', While
horribly
inaccurate, it's quite a fun movie, and some of the battle scenes are
nice.

On the Sci-fi front, you could check out 'Soldier'. If you can stomach
the bad
parts (of which there are many), you could pick up 'Dune'. HBO also has
a version
of this, but I have to see it myself.  While essentially a kids show,
the computer
generated Starship Troopers 'Roughneck Chronicles' can be very adult at
times, and
is at least good visually.
