FAQ
The Full War List: Questions & Answers
How the 718 ranked war films on this list are ordered, why the other 3,818 are not ranked and how to narrow the list down.
How is the full list of war movies ranked?
Best first. Ranked by Echo Score; 513 of these 718 films have none (released before 2017, when Echo Scores start) and are ranked by a blend of their Metascore and IMDb/Letterboxd user ratings. Casablanca (1943) is #1, ahead of Dead to Rights (2025). A film is ranked when it runs at least an hour and has a score, box office, an award nomination or enough votes.
The war ranking Why are only 718 of the 4,536 war films ranked?
A film is ranked when it runs at least an hour and has a score, box office, an award nomination or enough votes; shorts, films with too few ratings and re-release records stay off the ranking, which leaves 3,818 war films unranked. They are still on the site: sort the list by newest, oldest or title A–Z to reach them.
How do I filter war movies by decade or language?
Use the filters above the list: a decade or year, an original language, or only films with a plot summary, the ending explained or an after-credits scene; the sort switches between rating, release date, box office, budget and title. The 2010s have the most ranked war films (225), then the 2000s (204). Outside English, Russian (244 films) and French (224 films) have the most war films.
