I'm looking for a good war film with as much focus as possible on the very act of war, the act of groups/governments wrestling for dominance, and not as much on individuals or their psyches. A good example of this is Lawrence of Arabia, but I wanna know more. War and Peace was half this, and half about individuals. Come and See and The Hurt Locker are entirely about individuals, using war as more of a setting and plot element.
Also I prefer for it to be as pragmatic as possible. I'm not looking for romantic Jerzy Hoffman-style flag-waving stories.
I plan to see Battle of Algiers, just to get that out of the way.
