War Movies from a Chick

Most of the movies in this list are more "Home Front" movies than "Front Line" movies. Mrs. Miniver is a perfect example. Oh, it's still much too glamorous, but there is just something about this movie that makes you wish you have done your part for WWII.

A full fairy tale, from ideal life, to prisoners of war, to life afterwards. Makes you laugh, makes you cry, everything a girl could want in a movie. Also easy to identify with the main characters.

I still consider this the best movie made in the last 50 years. But it is less about war than it is about genocide. Still, I should think most everyone can find something in this movie that brings war and human atrocities to a personal level.

First real movie about a woman in combat. Good tension, well rounded story just wish there had been less court room scenes.

A soldier has an interesting experience, getting to know the other soldiers, the locals, the brass, etc. Interesting take on war.

Good story about dealing with the aftermath of a soldier's devastating experience during war.

Excellent movie - just a guy doing his job. Sometimes stressful sometimes boring. Having to deal with switching it on and off, gave me a real insight into a soldiers life.

I like the progression of this story.

Talks about the personality that desires war for power, rather than the usual war as a last resort.

People are crass, in love and war.

First time I saw a war movie where I thought it could actually apply to me.
