Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Over the past 80 years, many incredible war movies have been based around World War II, but plenty of films were made about the conflict while wartime was ongoing. The harrowing effects of war did not stop the movie industry and, during this era, a large audience of filmgoers wanted to see movies based on the war they were living through.
While Chaplin and Hitler had their toothbrush mustaches in common, this was where the comparison ended, as the filmmaker was highly critical of the Nazi regime and sought to undermine fascism and antisemitism with The Great Dictator. Chaplin’s powerful climatic monologue was one of the most poignant speeches in all of cinema and showcased that when this silent film star finally opened his mouth and spoke, he had something urgent to say.
As one of Ford’s lesser-known movies, The Long Voyage Home could stand against his very best work for the way it expertly depicted life at sea and the challenges faced by those during wartime. With an impressive 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, The Long Voyage Home was one of the greatest adaptations of O’Neill’s work, who was the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy Long Day's Journey into Night.

Director William Wyler Release Date July 29, 1942 Cast Greer Garson , Walter Pidgeon , Teresa Wright , May Whitty , Reginald Owen , Henry Travers , Richard Ney , Henry Wilcoxon Runtime 134 Minutes While most war movies of the 1940s often presented a traditional viewpoint of gender roles, Mrs. Miniver effectively examined an astounding mother’s experiences of the Second World War.
With powerful hand-to-hand combat scenes and a strong cast of supporting soldiers, each with a distinctive personality, Bataan was far better than the average pro-war movie produced during the early 1940s. Bataan was a good action-war film that took place in one singular location for the majority, and it used this limited setting to great effect. A follow-up film titled Back to Batann was released in 1945 and starred John Wayne, depicting similar events surrounding the Battle of Bataan.
