Does "The Last Samurai" count? Is this a war movie? Either way, I thought this movie was absolutely terrific !

When you think about it, human history is pretty much one war after another. Therefore most films made could be classed as a war movie, like Troy, Commando, Rambo, etc.. But specifically these are military war movies. So Last Samuri would be classed as Action.
And another thing, a pet peeve of mine, I hope I don't offend you Americans but U-571 made me sick cause this movie is actually based on a British operation in WWII and this movie gives credit where it doesn't belong and I think its an insult to the British.

I thought "U-571" was very clearly fictional and the end dedications mentioned very few Americans.
