"War is an unfortunate subject that continues to be relevant throughout history. When the dust settles and the bloody aftermath is tallied, and sometimes even before then, creatives give their views on the situation through outlets like music, literature, and film. Because, like war, human connection is also a practice as old as time.
Stacker researched the history of films with a heavy anti-war theme, tone, or sentiment and spotlighted 30 of the best. To qualify, the film had to have at least a 7.0 on IMDb or 70 Metascore and at least 1,500 IMDb user votes.
These films range from commentary on World War I just months after the fighting ceased to critiques of recent wars and modern views on historical events. These films show how directors have found different ways to pull at the heartstrings and convey their messages, using drama to portray the miseries of war or even leaning into satire or comedy."
