This review is from: Legendary War Films (Hardcover)

Legendary War Movies is a good book full of interesting facts about countless war movies throughout movie history. Covering such famous ones as Battleship Potempkin to Apocalypse Now, from Bridge on the River Kwai to Birth of a Nation, this book does cover most of the well known war movies. However, it leaves out several notables including The Great Escape, Kelly's Heroes, A Bridge too Far, and several others of my favorites. Another interesting aspect of the book was the quizzes you could take about which war a movie was about, famous lines, stars' careers before the movies, and a couple others. This isn't the definitive book about war movies, but it is very enjoyable with plenty of facts about our favorite war movies.
