IMDb (the Internet Movie Database) lists more than 1,600 war movies, and that list is eight years old.
Clearly, films about battle and warfare attract viewers, and with good reason. Audiences come to these movies to experience secondhand and in a condensed form the drama and action of war, heroism and sacrifice, camaraderie, intense emotions, and lessons about history and patriotism. These movies can deepen our gratitude for those who died in these conflicts, who gave their lives for their brothers-in-arms and for their country.
