To avoid confusion, it is the wars that must be from before the XXth century, not the movie itself.

 ;D

That makes me think, is it a war movie if the war is fictional ? I feel like there is an implied rule that war movies should be about real wars.

Some of these films don't have to do with the wars/battles themselves, but use the wars as background.

1. The Mission (Divide between Portuguese and Spanish Americas)
2. The Passion of Joan of Arc (100 Years’ War)
3. Lincoln  (Civil War)
4. Les Miserables (Waterloo/Insurgency of 1832)
5. Barry Lyndon (Seven Years’ War)
6. Master and Commander (Napoleonic Wars)
7. Apocalypto (Conquest of the Americas)
8. 1776 (American Independence)
9. Henry V (100 Years’ War)
10. Last of the Mohicans (French and Indian War)
