First we fight a war, then we make a movie about it. From the Romans and the Nazis to Vietnam and Rwanda, there's no shortage of material for filmmakers to exploit.

To mark the release of compelling Hitler biopic Downfall, we've collected many of the best war movies ever made, films that won't allow us to forget the mistakes of our past.
