You’ve been here before. You’ve already read about war movies. But the war movies keep happening. The discussions about war movies cycle on and on. Maybe it’s fitting. Maybe when the wars stop happening, people can stop talking about and making war movies. Maybe that thinking is wishful. Maybe it’ll never stop. Maybe you’ll be back seeing another ranking of war movies, six months, six years, six decades from now, if the world’s still in one piece. Maybe a sufficiently destructive war will be the only thing that stops war movies from being made, along with all the other genres, because there’ll be no world to make them in.
