- All Quiet on the Western Front
The 1930 Academy Award winner for best picture, this film fights mightily against the romanticizing of war. Paul comes back from war to describe to the students that there is nothing noble about dying for one’s country, in contrast to what the teacher had told him and has continued to teach to students.
- Dr. Strangelove or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb
Another significant film in the arena of anti-war sentiment, Dr. Strangelove shows world leaders to be mindless, egomaniacal sociopaths who wish to use war as a means of proving their own masculinity, with little regard for the welfare of the general public.
