Vulture's 50 Greatest War Movies Ever Made - Page 2

Maybe the ultimate purpose of a war movie is to let others hear the force of these stories. Another director, Sam Fuller, once offered a quote that doesn't necessarily contradict Truffaut's observation but better explains the impulse to make war movies: "A war film's objective, no matter how personal or emotional, is to make a viewer feel war." The films selected for this list of the genre's most essential entries often have little in common, but they do share that. Each offers a vision that asks viewers to consider and understand the experience of war, be it in the trenches of World War I, the wilderness skirmishes of Civil War militias, or the still-ongoing conflicts that have helped define 21st-century warfare.
