15 Best War Movies of All Time

I design war games. If you read this blog, you probably knew that. I also write novels about

war. Again, if you are reading this, you are probably familiar with at least snippets of my writing. New for me is role-playing design, something that I’m attempting for the first time as an adjunct to my Kickstarter campaign for Dark War: Retribution, but nevertheless an RPG about war.

I guess all of us that design or play conflict simulations or military adventures or whatever you call the games I design, have not only a passing interest in history, but also the films that portray that history. In short, war films. By the same token, we must all have our favorites. This weekend I stumbled on a good list over at Screen Rant. I don’t agree with Apocalypse Now or Letters from Iwo Jima, but hey, that’s why crayons come in 64 colors. You can read the list here. What do you think?
