War Movies & Documentaries

War movies, and movies with military themes, have been a part of cinema history from the outset. The genre has produced some outright classic movies and directors have taken a wide variety of approaches to their subject. However, there are an awful lot of movies to catalogue so we've had to close the site temporarily while we work on a new design and a database for the reviews. We hope to be back soon. In the meantime, all the previously featured war movies are listed below with links to Amazon.com where you'll usually find reviews and additional information about the movie.


Please note, unless indicated by an *, the links below will take you to the DVD edition of the movie at Amazon.com. Once there, you'll usually find a link to view VHS edition page.
