We are only a few weeks out from the 95th Academy Awards and I’ve been hard at work watching as many of the nominated films as possible before the awards ceremony. If you haven’t checked out my preview posts on each category, be sure to look through those to get a feel for what is nominated while you fill out your Oscar ballots.

It is time to pick your movie for week 8 of the 2023 challenge and this week we’re looking at a film Set During a Historic War. IMDb has a great list of the top 100 War Movies set during the 20th century. Of course, you don’t have to pick something from the 20th Century, but since the world was at war so much over that time, it’s a good place to start.
