Schindler's List : Not currently listed as a war film
Re: Not currently listed as a war film
I don't see it as a war film. As a matter of fact I would be annoyed if I was looking for highly rated war films and came across this. It would be better if more tenuous entries were not included in various genres.
The Film Noir "genre" is the main culprit, there are some pretty ridiculous entries there.
I've seen a film listed as Western because it has a subplot of shooting one in a soundstage in London.
A film taking place in wartime is not automatically a war film.
Schindler's List is even less of a war film than Gone with the Wind and most people looking for a war film would be quite pissed if the end up watching that, I imagine.

Re: Not currently listed as a war film
I've no idea why people find lists & genres so important. Who cares into what genre someone put it? For this & so many other films, the placing of them into one category is an insult to its richness or multi-faceted nature.
If I had to say, no, it's not a war film. Historical drama, perhaps? No matter, the only film category it should be placed in is the one marked 'good'.
