These films appealed to the emotions of the audience rather than their intellect, they were propaganda because they only revealed the Allied side. However in 1930, Lewis Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front, a film based on the novel by Erich Maria, depicted the story of a German unit on the French front, losing soldier after soldier to things like illness and cave-ins. This film showed German boys who could just as easily been American in looks and habits, and thus begged this question: "Why should American boys be fighting boys from across the world who are just like them?" This film portrayed the battleground as a place of misery and fear rather than one of triumph and bravery, and stands out as one of the most important anti-war films of its time. <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9054891-110036986176085176?l=militarymoviesalternatives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>-mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14276474972169536258noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054891.post-1100752207025898952004-11-17T20:26:00.000-08:002004-11-18T08:30:17.270-08:00<br><span style="font-weight:bold;">Casablanca (1942)</span> <br />Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman <br />Director: Michael Curtiz <br /> <br /><a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0034583/"><img src="http://www.portalmundos.com/mundocine/jpg/casablanca.jpg"WIDTH=150 height=220 ></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9054891-110075220702589895?l=militarymoviesalternatives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>-mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14276474972169536258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054891.post-1100578039920735872004-11-16T20:03:00.000-08:002004-11-18T08:28:27.326-08:00<br><span style="font-weight:bold;">Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)</span> <br />Starring: Peter Sellers <br />Director: Stanley Kubrick <br /> <br /><a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0057012/"><img src="http://www.movieforum.com/people/makers/stanleykubrick/images/strangelove.gif"WIDTH=150 height=220 ></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9054891-110057803992073587?l=militarymoviesalternatives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>-mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14276474972169536258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054891.post-1100751925201238182004-11-15T23:19:00.000-08:002004-11-18T08:29:11.636-08:00<br><span style="font-weight:bold;">Apocalypse Now (1979)</span> <br />Starring: Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen <br />Director: Francis Ford Coppola <br /> <br /><a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0078788/"><img src="http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/filmes/apocalypse-now/apocalypse-now-poster02.jpg"WIDTH=150 height=220 ></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9054891-110075192520123818?l=militarymoviesalternatives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>-mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14276474972169536258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054891.post-1099847837108713412004-11-07T09:17:00.000-08:002004-11-18T08:29:36.900-08:00<br><span style="font-weight:bold;">No Man's Land (2001)</span> <br />Starring: Branko Djuric <br />Director: Danis Tanovic <br /><a href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=nomansland.htm" target="_blank">box office info</a> <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283509"><img src="http://www.cyber-cinema.com/original/nomanslandSSOrg.jpg"WIDTH=150></a></p> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Three Kings (1999)</span> <br />Starring: George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg <br />Director: David O.
