- Apocalypse Now Redux. Francis Ford Coppola's legendary Vietnam War epic went through an infamously fraught production process, and the final product as it was initially released in the 1970s was never up to the director's standards.
- By Dawn's Early Light. In the days of the Cold War, it was fairly common for Hollywood to speculate over what World War III might look like. That speculation gave us comedies like "Doctor Strangelove," but it also gave us a string of dramas imagining the mutually assured destruction of a battle between the Americans and the Soviets.
- A Farewell to Arms. Ernest Hemingway's classic tale of love amid the carnage of World War I is brought to the screen in this excellent adaptation. The story of an American ambulance driver (Cooper) and an English nurse (Hayes) who fall in love, this film cuts much of Hemingway's cynicism out of its grand romance.

Made on a shoestring budget with a tiny crew in the midst of the Korean War, "Fear and Desire" is instead a haunting meditation on the costs and trials of war as a universal concept, following four soldiers as they fight to survive behind enemy lines.

In the aftermath of the 2011 revolution that toppled longtime Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, many of Libya’s cities became dangerous places for foreign diplomats. Nowhere was that more evident than in Benghazi, when an enraged militia stormed an American compound, where U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens happened to be working that day. “13 Hour...
"The Best Years of Our Lives" was a surprisingly hard-nosed story about the struggles of veterans returning from World War II.

The movie also won Best Picture, Best ...
After bringing the legendary character of Pete "Maverick" Mitchell to life, Tom Cruise played real-life Marine and Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic on the silver screen.

“A Bridge Too Far” is notable for its size, scope and cast, but just like the military operation it portrays onscreen, it comes just shy of a complete victory.

In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle granted Algeria its independence from France, a notion that didn’t sit too well with the French dissidents who opposed the decision. The OAS was a far right paramilitary organization dedicated to keeping the North African territory as part of France. When de Gaulle went the other way, they really tried to...
Yes, “Fallout” is a series based on a video game. There are many of us old enough to remember when video-game movies and shows were just an awful cash grab designed to sell more merchandise to children, so we might be a little jaded. But Gen Xers and elder Millennials should take note: Today’s video games have more depth and better writing than mos...

Technically, “Galaxy Quest” is about as military as any “Star Trek” movie, but it’s much better than most “Star Trek” movies ever were.

They enlist t...
