McQueen wasn't a classicly good actor but he commanded a great presence on the screen. Definitely check out "Bullitt" and "The Cinncinnati Kid".

Can anyone recommend any other classic war movies along these lines?
The two you intend to see ("Battle of the Bulge" and "The Dirty Dozen") are pretty good. I'm somewhat partial to John Wayne pictures so I'd recommend "In Harm's Way" (he plays an admiral in the Navy). Another great movie to consider is "From Here to Eternity" (although its not truly a war movie - its set in that era).
