It's difficult to know what constitutes "romanticizing" war.  Perhaps
there are just degrees of absence of anti-war polemic or degrees of
insensitivity to the horrors of war.  With that disclaimer, I
hesitatingly nominate a few "romantic" WWII films:
 
        Where Eagles Dare
        The Guns of Navarone
        The Longest Day
 
There were also several British and American WWII feature films
actually made during the war for propaganda/morale purposes, but
titles escape me.
