No, but it's a conflict movie.

Whatever happens, we have got
The Maxim gun, and they have not.

In bygone days, commanders were taught that when in doubt, they should march their troops towards the sound of gunfire. I intend to march my troops towards the sound of gunfire.

I wouldnt say its a war movie per se, although it is certainly set in a war
I dont see how any comedy could be considered a serious war movie
by the same token, was M*A*S*H a war movie?
I say a true war movie is more like a documentary, in that it shows the tactical movements without making any judgements

According to some people*, the war in the movie never actually occurred, so it can't be a war movie. Same would be true for Red Dawn, a movie with a war theme, but not a war movie. Edit: *Not including myself  |

I think we would have noticed if the war in Dr. Strangelove had really occurred and I dont think a movie has to be about a real, historic war in order to be a 'war movie' a war movie just has to describe the battles, show something about the tactics used or the strategy, and show how the battle turns out, in order to be a war movie what about "Star Wars" the original, back in 1976? would you say that that was a war movie? cuz I would, sure.  |
