Thanks for including the Grande Illusion.

I didn't include it. Premiere Magazine did.

Bridge On The River Kwai is almost certainly a WW II film.

dgeiser1308/19/2002

Probably. But I'm just reporting what they said.

I have never heard of the first 4 WWII movies there, but I think "Patton" should be included (I think it's a WWII movie).

I haven't seen it so I can't say one way or the other although I know it has quite a reputation. It should probably make a list of the definitive war movies. I was just reporting what Premiere Magazine claimed were the definite War Movies.
