The Best War Film of Each Year (1950-2022)

As Wikipedia states, "War film is a film genre concerned with warfare, typically about naval, air, or land battles, with combat scenes central to the drama. It has been strongly associated with the 20th century." I've included only films covering conflicts since the 20th century (e.g. WWI, WWII, the Vietnam war) and so gave excluded other films often found in war movie lists (such as Zulu, Ran, or Waterloo).
