Das boot?

Das boot is in the "1990s to 2000s" section but it came out in the 80s —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.119.58 (talk) 06:22, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

No subject

What about the post-war films about various wars, e.g., "Apocalypse Now"? How are these referred to? ("War films" or something else?) Also, as I know from experience having watched some Russian war films, the U.S. isn't the only country to have made war films--unless "war film" is a technical term I'm not familiar with.

"War film" is just what it sounds like and is not a technical term, by any means. This stub was just a bad cut and paste I did moving it from War Genre Film. I keep having questions directed at me for entries I moved from elsewhere. I suppose the solution is obvious enough: correct the entries immediately, rather than at some unspecified time in the future.  :-) --KQ

some good additions here! Makes me want to warm up my DVD player and watch a couple of them again

The order of the list of films seemed closest to chronological in order of wars, then alphabetical in list of films about each war. "The" was included in the alphabetization, which I didn't change, but perhaps someone else should? Infrogmation

Should we add a section on (the hypothetical) World War III, or keep it to historical wars? --Koyaanis Qatsi

No, but we should add one about Nuclear War films. Even if it never happened. Hires an editor 17:16, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Is it worth separating British War films (within this page), there are a kind of genre in their own right? Mintguy

How about homefront films set in wartime. Mrs. Minniver, etc. Danny

Expanding Furthur...

I was thinking, why not attempt to create a list of films specific to each War. I have only just started List of World War II films. And being very tired and busy this is as far as i have got. But i believe that this is a good idea.
I would be interested to hear what others think and if so prehaps spawn this idea to encompass all wars. --Spud85 14:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Alphabetical listings

If people add films to the lists can they please keep them in alphabetical order (unless there is a consensus to re-arrange them all chronologically). Also as had been mentioned, "The" has been included in alphabetization, although most of these have been changed now. JW

Yugoslav partisan films

You should find a place for Yugoslav partisan films, that were very popular in former Yugoslavia. The most famous are Battle of Neretva (Oscar nominated), Valter defends Sarajevo (very popular in PR of China), Kozara, Raid on Drvar, Otpisani, Sutjeska... Even Hollywood shot a partisan movie -- Bojan  05:57, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Zulu

I think that Zulu really deserves to be mentioned in the article, set in the Anglo-Zulu War, it surely qualifies as a war film. Mjroots (talk) 21:50, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
