<p>RANKED<br />Period / Historical War films included. <br />By definition, the majority of the best WAR films are ANTI-war films. </p><p>“Taking a close look at what's around us, there is some sort of a harmony. It is the harmony of... overwhelming and collective murder."<br />~Werner Herzog</p><p>"War does not determine who is right - only who is left."<br />- Bertrand Russell </p><p>"In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons."<br />- Herodotus</p><p>"We can't educate our young people <br />can't feed our poor people<br />can't take care of our old people <br />but we can bomb the shit out of your country..."<br />- George Carlin</p><p>"Once you leave the womb, conservatives don't care about you until you reach military age. Then you’re just what they’re looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."<br />- George Carlin</p><p>My top 5 (closely ranked): -<br />Come and See (1985)<br />Apocalypse Now (1979)<br />Seven Samurai (1954)<br />Dr. Strangelove (1964)<br />Paths of Glory (1957)</p><p>Not a "best of" list, just a list with war films I have seen (there are many more, but either I can't recall them, or they were so dreadful I didn't include them). Probably only the first 160-170 or so are recommended, the rest are only for completists. </p><p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><b>Quora - World History - War</b></p><p>Q: What was the most brutal military tactic in history?</p><p>A: Leave your enemy a way to escape.</p><p>Human beings aren’t so different from the many types of creatures that roam the planet. One of the universal traits shared by so many species is this: Fight or flight or freeze.</p><p>In a situation that presents danger, living creatures will perform one of these actions. Fight, meaning we leap into action and confrontation. Flight, meaning we try to remove ourselves from the danger. Freeze, where we are facing an unfamiliar situation and do nothing.</p><p>As the last several thousand years of recorded history has shown, humans have yet to grow beyond these basic instincts. It’s a part of who we are.</p><p><br /><b>Napoleon’s Folly</b></p><p>It was the year 1812. Napoleon had just realized he couldn’t conquer Russia. Napoleon’s campaign to dominate the largest European kingdom had ground to a halt. He could win on the battlefield, but an extended conflict would ultimately accomplish nothing. The Russians refused to surrender, even when their own capital had been seized and the Tsar had fled. Facing an impossible situation, Napoleon ordered a withdrawal.</p><p>Now the Russians could have counterattacked, encircled Napoleon and tried to capture him with their superior numbers and knowledge of the land. What they did was worse. They let the French walk back the way they came.<br />The French army marched back through lands they had already conquered. These areas had been picked clean of food. In their places was less than nothing. Napoleon’s grand army, the largest on Earth at that time, was cut off from supplies. This was literally as the Russian winter was beginning.</p><p>But they could still escape. The Russians were only behind them. So they started walking back.</p><p>All the while, the Russians bled them with raids. Mounted horsemen, Irregular militias. Pin prick attacks from a thousand directions. But never a concentrated military attack. The Russians kept bleeding the French. Bit by bit by bit.</p><p>The French couldn’t turn around and retaliate. The invasion had failed and now all they wanted to do was go home. They thought they would be safe if they just kept walking west. And they kept getting more and more hungry. The weather became worse and worse.</p><p>This is when the Grand Army began to break down. Deserters abandoned the army in droves. Their equipment was insufficient for fighting in winter and broke down in unrelenting cold. And the Russians kept circling their flanks. Never surrounding them. Never stopping them from retreating.</p><p>So the French kept walking west. There was still a chance they probably thought. If they endured a few more days, a few more hundred miles, they could make it. They kept weakening themselves. Structure and order were undone as desperation infected the French ranks. They lost whatever advantage they may have had fighting the Russians directly and weakness began to suffocate them. Hunger, disease and deprivation on a massive scale.</p><p>The retreat from Russia lasted from October to December of 1812. By the time the Grand Army had entered friendly territory, they had been reduced to barely 20,000 emaciated survivors.</p><p>And that’s how you destroy an army of 700,000 men. You give them hope of escape.</p><p>- Donovan Walls<br />Quora - World History</p>

Carolco Pictures/Seven Arts Pictures Filmography list

Carolco Pictures, Inc. was an American independent film studio that existed from 1976 to 1995, founded by Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna. Kassar and Vajna ran Carolco together until 1989, when Vajna left to form Cinergi Pictures. Carolco hit its peak in the 1980s and early 1990s, with blockbuster successes including the first three films of the Rambo franchise, Total Recall, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Basic Instinct, Universal Soldier, Cliffhanger and Stargate. (Halfway through 1991, Carolco entered into a joint venture with New Line Cinema to start Seven Arts, a distribution company which primarily released much of Carolco's low-budget output. Creating 12 films in total. (Last 12 films in list)) Nevertheless, the company was losing money overall and required a corporate restructuring in 1992. The 1995 film Cutthroat Island, intended to be a comeback for the studio, instead lost $147 million and brought the company to an end.

<p>Matt Novak wrote an article <a href="https://gizmodo.com/every-single-movie-that-jimmy-carter-watched-at-the-whi-1728538092" rel="nofollow">here</a> outlining every movie Jimmy Carter watched while President of the USA. This is that list in the order he watched it. I see this as further evidence that Carter is the coolest American President alive and he would have likely had an anonymous burner on LB if it was around in the '70s. </p><p>Some tidbits:</p><p>Films Jimmy Carter watched more than once: Citizen Kane, Maltese Falcon, Manhattan, Annie Hall, Kramer vs Kramer, Lost Horizon, Rocky, Paper Moon, The In-Laws, Lost Horizon, 10 and Star Wars (4 times).</p><p>Directors who show up repeatedly: Billy Wilder, William Wyler, Delbert Mann, Michael Curtiz, Howard Hawks, John Ford, John Huston, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Hal Ashby, Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, Herbert Ross, Peter Bogdanovich and Robert Altman.</p><p>Other directors that make you say, <i>Fuck yeah, Jimmy</i>: Kurosawa, Bergman, Truffaut, Fassbinder, Scorsese, Coppola, Friedkin, De Palma, Cassavetes, Peckinpah, Lean, Leone, Lumet, Malick, Siegel, Demme, Nichols, Rafelson, Ray, Fuller, Gillian Armstrong, and Kubrick.</p><p>Cracks me up that Midnight Cowboy is on the books as a President of the USA permanently on the record watching an X-rated movie. </p><p>Jonathan Demme's Citizens Band was watched as a new release, which is worth noting because it bombed so horribly it temporarily ended Demme's career until Peter Falk hired him to direct an episode of Columbo to get him back working again. Peter Falk was the only known fan of Citizens Band, at the time, but perhaps Jimmy Carter was, too?</p><p>Jimmy Carter had an absolutely galaxy brained double feature of Casablanca/Young Frankenstein on March 25, 1977.</p><p>He watched Star Wars at Camp David with Anwar Sadat, the President of Egypt, on February 4, 1978.</p><p> On November 19, 1980, at 7:31 pm, Jimmy Carter watched a film only labeled "". 9:23 pm he returned back upstairs. What was this mysterious film that went unlabeled? There is a Pulitzer Prize waiting for you, the reader of this dumb list, if you find that out. Godspeed.</p>

<p>Once upon a time, there was no internet, no streaming, no infinite on-demand supply of content. There was the cinema and there was over-the-air tv and on that tv there were three major networks (via VHF) plus a few local stations (via UHF). Buried amidst the regular programming of news, sitcoms, dramas and reruns, movies came to us long after they’d vanished from theaters, sometimes years later. A few appeared often, others rarely, and all were edited for mature content. There were, of course, commercials - often in the worst possible places - but sometimes, every so often, they created cliffhangers, adding a weird, unintentional dramatic tension. </p><p>Later came cable, where cheaper movies ran again and again. Later still came VHS home video where movies you couldn’t see, sometimes shouldn’t see, were suddenly readily accessible. And because TVs were square and movie screens weren’t, only a portion of the frame could fit. Everything we saw was panned and scanned, meaning some network or studio editor chose which parts of the frame you most needed to see. </p><p>Growing up, this was how I saw the vast majority of feature films. Those listed here are ones that left an impression, however fleeting. Not all of them are “great.” Many I’ve seen only once. In some cases I recall only specific scenes, moments, concepts or shots. Most I’ve never seen projected and many I’ve never seen full-frame. Together they offer a glimpse into my post 70s, pre-streaming, channel-surfing, movie-manic adolescence. When I’m tempted to lament the future of cinema, considering the fractious way in which most movies are consumed in the internet era, I have to remind myself of the way in which many movies - including some of the greatest ever made - were introduced to me in the age of Edited for Television.</p><p>Where Tonight’s Recommended Viewing is meant to be a can’t-miss list for cinema snobs and neophytes alike, this list is filled with almosts, oddities, acquired tastes, triumphs and traumas alike, along with a handful of honorably mentioned crossovers. I cannot attest to their overall quality, only their indelible impact, however great or small.</p><p>Enjoy and, in a few cases, beware.</p><p>(Occasionally updated)</p>
