World's Best War Films

A scene from David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia, who used
guerrilla tactics with a small army to sever communications
and supply lines against the Ottoman Empire in WW1

Updated: 6.01.11 (* = new additions)

I’ve expanded this list to include civilian stories during wartime (A Canterbury Tale, Mrs. Miniver), to the “Indian Wars” (the U.S. vs Native Americans, ie Dances With Wolves, Into the West), Asian wars (Samurai I, The Emperor and the Assassin, Hero, Mongol), even small wars (Gangs of New York, The Wind That Shakes the Barley), and terrorism (The Kingdom, Rendition, United 93)

Check out our recent post "100 Great War Films for Memorial Day", sorted by wars

The Best 100
[AA] - Academy Award for Best picture
The Rest
Band of Brothers is probably the best war on film, so it had to be included; Hanks and Spielberg reportedly spent over $100 million to film the 12-hr series. The Pacific is their followup, the counterpoint that follows the stories of several marines in the war against Japan.

I include Best Years of Our Lives here because it's about the effect of war on its participants and their families for the rest of their lives. Many films on this list won Best Picture oscars: Best Years, Bridge on Kwai, Deer Hunter, Lawrence, Patton, Platoon, Schindler's, All Quiet on the Western Front. Many others were nominated.

Sergei Bondarchuk's War and Peace still has the soapy parts of the novel but also has 250,000 extras from the Red Army, in costume and at the time was the most expensive movie ever made (est. 100m in 1968)

Even though Seven Samurai is a small skirmish, not a war, it still looks like a war film, and as such is one of the best ever.

Apocalypse Now! I like the longer, director's cut version, called "Redux" - it seems to flow more leisurely like a relaxed boat ride up the Mekong (!) Not at good artistically, just more interesting and at nearly an hour longer, if you like something you don't want it to end, right? "One day this war film's gonna end." (Robert Duvall)

I added Breaker Morant (thanks for the commentarian), though not technically a war film, it's a court martial, so really a "legal film", similar to Paths of Glory, but based on a true event of the Boer War. An early Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy) masterpiece.

I also added La Grande Illusion, Jean Renoir's anti-war masterpiece, which also has no war scenes but is about Allied prisoners in a WW1 German prison castle. It's a beautifully shot b&w film, the first foreign film nominated for the best picture Oscar®

Seven Beauties garnered Lina Wertmuller the first Oscar® nomination for directing for a woman. Kathryn Bigelow became the first female Oscar® winner for director for The Hurt Locker.

Update - just added these: Lebanon (Israel), Days of Glory (Algeria), El Alamein (Italy), Green Zone, Red Cliff (China), War Photographer (Switzerland), I Am Cuba (USSR-Cuba), Prisoner of the Mountains (Russia), Samurai 1 (Japan), United 93, Black Hawk Down

    Top Ranked 1000 Films on the Net

    The Top Ranked Films on the Internet
    © William L. Sinclair
    [This list was originally created in 2008]

    We just updated this with the 2011 edition here, which has 172 new titles, including over 50 from 2009 and 2010..

    We compiled this from numerous surveys and polls on the internet, some all critics, some all fans, so it's a combination. This represents over 1000 individual polls. We simply put them all into a worksheet, assigned the values per listing in typical countdown fashion, then added them all up when done. This actually represents hundreds of thousands of individual voters, none of whom was me. You could say this is "the Godfather of all internet film lists"..

    [Lately there are some new polls I can add, such as The Auteurs at Criterion, with over 100,000 members; 2001 is #1 there, followed by another Kubrick film, A Clockwork Orange. Look for this list to be updated in the future with some newer polls added in; it's possible that 2001 will be #1 in the future, but unlikely, as The Godfather tops more individual polls. Citizen Kane and Gone With the Wind are falling over time, while City of God, Memento, and 12 Angry Men are rising]

    [hmmm... don't ask me why Google Blogger has decided to hide the leading 1's when I got to 1000+ - they are continually introducing odd bugs in to the blogs that bloggers have to debug or work around.. I'll look into this one and try to fix it. I tried shrinking the font size already with no difference. At least it's only affecting the bottom of this list. Thanks, guys - maybe with yer billions you can figure this out]

    I was admittedly appalled to see Star Wars at No. 4 - that's what happens when you include popular polls I guess. I thought The Empire Strikes Back was much better science fiction. I would have thought Lord of the Rings films would be ranked ahead of the Star Wars films, just based on critics alone, but.. that's just my opinion.

    I was also surprised to see Chinatown at No. 3, and that it's rising over time - good, but not that good. And is Blade Runner really 13th - does it belong in the top 20? Wizard of Oz 18th, with it's terrible acting and bad music? Pulp Fiction 20th - where are all these Tarantino fans coming from? Has no one seen Out of the Past lately? Instead of 237th it should be 37th.

    Even Goldfinger made this list! That's not even the best Bond film. and the boring and mundane Kramer vs. Kramer, one of the worst best picture winners ever. Where the heck is Jerry Lewis, one wonders? Maybe I should add some French polls, lol..

    With Inception now No. 9 at IMDB, look for it to show up next time I update this poll - likely sometime this summer.

    Top Ranked Directors on the Net

    © 2009-11, William L. Sinclair

    All Directors in the top 1011 list that we compiled from all the internet surveys we could find, ranked by total points for all films on our spreadsheet. Alfred Hitchcock led the list [photo above with fellow director, artist Andy Warhol]. John Ford and Jean-Luc Godard had the most films listed at 16 each. Charles Laughton made the list highest with only one film at #100; unfortunately for this consummate actor, it was the only film he directed, Night of the Hunter.
