War movies are unlike any other type of film. They can be scary, fun, intense, uplifting, inspirational and filled with gore all at the same time. What other genre of films can you say that about? Over the years, there have been some absolutely sensational films covering the subject of war.
This article will discuss some of the greatest movies of this genre to ever be released.
One film that I regretfully have to put on this list is Braveheart. Regardless of Mr. Gibson's personality and beliefs in real life, he knocked it out of the park with this film. It is not a coincidence that it won the Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year.
Released in 1970, Patton was one of the best biopics of all time, about the controversial United States General of the same name. This film also won best picture of the year, and is considered a classic by any US film history enthusiast.
Schindler's list is probably number one on my list. I feel that above all his other great films, this movie is Steven Spielberg's masterpiece. Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley are incredible in this movie, and it is no wonder it is ranked as a top 10 film of all time on iMDB.
Saving Private Ryan is another movie that has to make my list. Also brought to us from the lens of Steven Spielberg, and based on the same war as Schindler's List, this movie takes more of a look at the battle front. According to veterans of this war, the Battle of Normandy is depicted incredibly accurately in this film.
I also have to mention Lawrence of Arabia. Peter O'Toole stars as P.E. Lawrence in this film about a controversial British military figure and his inner conflicts during war. This film is the definition of a classic.
As it stands, these are the movies that I deemed worthy of making the list. A follow up article will be released soon with some other great ones.
