An anti-war film is a movie that is perceived as having an anti-war theme. Some are war movies that show the negative aspects of war, while others satirize war in other ways. Many complex films may be seen as anti-war by some people, and pro-war by others.

Some anti-war films have been criticized as not truley being anti-war. This is due to the presence of the concept of masculinity created by war exposure.^{[{{fullurl:}}#endnote_chaudhry]}
