interesting, if not unexpected choices. i'm surprised not to see the wind that shakes the barley, pan's labyrinth, glory, and gallipoli on this list.

Well Pan's Labyrinth was discarded because it doesn't really take place in the Spanish Civil War proper, which effectively ended in 1939 (5 years before the movie was set). Gallipoli is a good film but Paths of Glory really epitomizes the Western Front Trench Warfare idea of WWI to me. And I've never really liked Glory so I didn't want it on my quiz :)

Good quiz. Perfect balance of obscure and obvious choices. And I agree, Glory blows.

Not that you need to, but if you are looking to add more conflicts/films, one that I thought would be a good inclusion is "The Battle of Algiers" for the Algerian War... it's a great film, and also the only one in Oscar history (as far as I know) to be a nominee in two non-consecutive years.

Great idea, great execution, great selection of movies. Wasn't there a remake of the Four Feathers a few years ago?

Good quiz. The only one I'd add would be the classic El Cid set during La Reconquista in Spain. Although you could have one of the versions of Richard III (either Olivier or Richard Loncraine) for the Wars of the Roses.

Paths of Glory is a tremendous film. Wildly underrated as far as Kubrick's films go.

I'd like to see another version of this quiz, with the war listed, & then name the movie, or just one war, with "How many movies can you name about this war" sort of thing. Obviously, I'm too lazy to do it myself ;-) Good quiz, & now off to video store to see if they have some of these that I've never seen or heard of!

loved it (right up to the point, you went with Gettysburg and not Glory--sacrilege) other than that, you picked some good ones.

I think it should accept just Joan of Arc, that's what it goes by on imdb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151137/ I recommend No man's land to those who haven't seen it. Great quiz!

Sorry to ruin the fun, but it's spelled Zack Snyder instead for Zach Snyder. But great quiz :D

I would have totally gone with "Rambo III" as the supreme example of the Soviet-Afghan war.

Saving Private Ryan is your World War II movie? That's about the most blatantly obvious choice possible. Weak.

Couldn't get credit for "Battle of Algiers" because I didn't type "The" or for "Joan of Arc", otherwise great quiz.

"The" is officially ignored on Sporcle MemphisTim so that isn't the problem--you may have mistyped something. As for "Joan of Arc," I don't mean to be pedantic or annoying, but that isn't the title of the film in question

Good quiz. Though any Mel Gibson movie doesn't belong in the history category.

Wait, someone watched Gettysburg long enough to find out who the director was? I sort of just gave up after 4 hours.

@Notbadfor: The official release date for 'The Hurt Locker' is 2008, hence why your initial comment got voted -21 points. It made it's official debut at, and played at several prominent international film festivals in 2008, but it did not recieve a proper theatrical release anywhere until 2009. A film's year refers to when it made it's official debut and that was 2008 for the 'Hurt Locker'. It did not qualify for the 2009 Academy Awards because it had not been screened in the US which is a requirement for Oscar consideration. But officially it's a 2008 film. So check your facts before calling others idiots.

Any one else think the Bosnian War movie was Behind Enemy lines since it came out the same year?
