Films

This collection provides information on selected movies, TV productions and documentaries on the themes of gender, military and war in the period covered by the Oxford Handbook. The focus of this collection is, however, on the wars of the twentieth century as the majority of the most interesting movies depicting the themes of gender, military and war focus on this period. The bulk of our inclusions were released between the 1920s and the present in English, French and German or have English subtitles.
