Looking at only the war films that made at least five of the nine polls narrows the list significantly. If you were to average out how they ranked, they would stack up in the following order . . .
1. Apocalypse Now (8 polls) - Average rank = 3.8
2. Saving Private Ryan (6 polls) - Average rank = 4.1
3. Platoon (6 polls) - Average rank = 5.8
4. Bridge/River Kwai (6 polls) - Average rank = 6.2
5. Full Metal Jacket (6 polls) - Average rank = 6.3
Obviously this does not make this the definitive top five war films of all time. Numerous polls in the dozens may bear out different results. But it would be a safe bet that these five films would certainly be contenders in an expanded poll.
