14. Casablanca
I know there are no combat scenes in it, but the fight against fascism is what the film is all about.

If I had to pick a military film, it would be "The Fighting Seabees" with John Wayne, Susan Haward and William Frawley. It's pure propaganda but it's entertaining and has a message. Close behind that would be "Action in the North Atlantic" with Humphrey Bogart, Raymond Massey and Alan Hale which glorified the Merchant Marine. It has every cliche in the book but makes it work anyway.
