- 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.
- Fear and Desire. Stanley Kubrick's feature directorial debut isn't based on any real war, and its opening narration will make sure you know that. 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. WWII Army veteran Harold Russell, who lost both hands in a training accident, was awarded a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his portrayal of a Navyveteran who lost both arms in combat. 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. Directed by fellow Vietnam veteran Oliver Stone ("JFK"), "Born on the Fourth of July" is based on Kovic's autobiography of the same name. During Kovic's second tour in Vietnam, he suffere...
“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. The cast includes Sean Connery (“The Rock”), Michael Caine (“The Dark Knight”), Anthony Hopkins (“Silence of the Lambs”), Elliott Gould (“M*A*S*H”), Robert Redford (“The Sting”), James Caan ...
As the Islamic State captured large swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq in 2014, a secret group of citizen journalists called Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently documented ISIL's war crimes and atrocities for the world to see. "City of Ghosts" is a documentary about the then-anonymous efforts of the reporters and how they uncovered ISIL crimes ...
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...
Before "Top Gun" was the catalyst for people to run to their Navy recruiter's office to join ROTCprograms, the go-to movie for inspiring the future ranks of naval aviators was "The Final Countdown." The USS Nimitz, an aircraft carrier with 5,000 crewmembers and jet aircraft, mysteriously disappears in the Pacific Ocean, before it's discovered that ...

Already disenchanted with the Confederacy, Knight deserted after learning that a white man with 20 slaves could be exempt from military service. He returns hom...
Technically, “Galaxy Quest” is about as military as any “Star Trek” movie, but it’s much better than most “Star Trek” movies ever were. The cast of an old sci-fi television series is swept up from Earth by an alien civilization called the Thermians who believes the show was actually historical documentation of Earth’s greatest heroes. They enlist t...
