You should definitely check out Tank. It's a lot of fun and a childhood favorite of mine.

Some others that feature tanks pretty prominently:

Sahara (1943)
Tank Battalion (1958)
Best Defense (1984)
Sgt. Bilko (1996)
Courage Under Fire (1996)

Was it really necessary to remind everyone about Best Defense?

Best performance by a tracked fighting vehicle in a supporting role has to go to the runaway tank in Buffalo Soldiers (2001)....
