● About this genre

What we mean by "war"

War films at FilmLookup are organised around armed conflict and the people inside it — combat, occupation, displacement, and aftermath. We include anti-war films and propaganda-adjacent works as long as the war is structurally central.

Overlap with history is heavy; we cross-link rather than duplicate.
