Also here are a few others with similar impact:
Кавказский пленник / Prisoner of the Mountains
Летят журавли / The Cranes are Flying
Баллада о солдате / Ballad of a Soldier
Холодное лето пятьдесят третьего... / Cold Summer of 1953

I have not seen Холодное лето пятьдесят третьего, but I have the others, and I think they are great films. I think Баллада is one of the best black and white films describing the human cost of war ever made.
I enjoyed Кавказский пленник, but it's interesting that some friends on both sides of that issue consider the film to be propaganda for the other side. I thought it was much more than that.
Иди и смотри is another powerful war movie that attempts to put the real horror of war on screen.
