Talk:War film

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
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
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
