best anti-war books, movies, poems?

As far as poetry about war goes, I think "The Centenarian's Story" by Walt Whitman is one of the best poems. It's about a 100 year old man who witnessed the revolutionary war and is now seeing the build up for the civil war. Here's a link to it.

Catch-22

The Wars

Slaughterhouse Five

Apocalypse Now

Some Movies:

Come and See

Grave of the Fireflies

Joyeux Noël

Paths of Glory

Gallipoli, in its own way.

Any books, poems, or movies about war are anti-war.

Johnny Got His Gun.

I'm reading Fugitive Days right now: Written by William Ayers about his time protesting Vietnam. I have enjoyed it so far.

second that.

The Great Dictator

One of my favorites is The Things They Carried. Also the movie Apocalypse Now is based off of the book Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, which is also an interesting read. And Johnny Got His Gun is a classic anti war novel. All three will make you really ponder the ethical and moral responsibility that comes with warfare.

The Face of Battle, by John Keegan - about the experience of being at Agincourt, Waterloo and the Somme. Not exactly an anti-war book, but it sure made violence sound pretty sucky.

And I'm not sure every war book is anti-war. Ernst Junger seems to have had a pretty good time in WWI in Storm of Steel.

Based on. BASED ON!!! How the f^ck can you base something "off of" something else?!?!

_The Sorrow of War_, by Bao Ninh. I read this while traveling in Viet Nam. Wonderful. Thanks for the reminder - time to reread it.

"Where have all the flowers gone?"

now is the time wrote:

"Hero of War" - Rise Against

I'm more interested in a list of the best pro-war books, movies and poems.

It's a song, but the lyrics are poetic, so....

Sam Stone by John Prine. It's like a novel in 2.5 minutes.
