Steven Jay Schneider, General Editor - All books by this author
The horror and the heroism of war has long been a staple of cinema and the background for many different story genres, from anti-war comedies such as M*A*S*H to the heroic feats of combat troops and fighter pilots played by the likes of John Wayne and other screen favorites. Films are presented in chronological order to illustrate the genres development and the impact early artists had on later directors, actors, and technicians. Plot summaries are presented, casts and credits are listed, and illustrations include ad posters and evocative movie stills. More than 200 illustrations.
Here are some of the 101 most memorable war films ever produced:
Ballad of a Soldier Apocalypse Now Enigma The Great Escape Downfall The Charge of the Light Brigade A Bridge Too Far Black Hawk Down Saving Private Ryan Platoon The Longest Day Stalag 17 M*A*S*H Grave of the Fireflies Gallipoli No Mans Land Ran The Killing Fields Patton Dr. Strangelove The Dam Busters Empire of the Sun a Grande Illusion Devils on the Doorstep Land and Freedom Hill 24 Doesnt Answer Glory Good Morning, Vietnam Das Boot Europa, Europa Hell in the Pacific Hotel Rwanda Cross of Iron Full Metal Jacket Rome, Open City Lawrence of Arabia Salvador The Bridge on the River Kwai Stalingrad A Matter of Life and Death Shame In Which We Serve Three Kings Zulu The Deer Hunter Wings Welcome to Sarajevo The Thin Red Line Catch-22 and many more
