These 10 films have war as their central theme, as opposed to others who dwell on other subjects, such as drama, moral ambiguity, etc. And for that, those 10 Empire selections are pretty solid, IMO.

I think another editing is in order. ;)
I did read the article Mr. Smarty Pants, and my point was if you're going to select the 10 best war movies (it specifically said no satire, comedy, homefront, or thriller disguised as a war movie ; everything else goes) you could have done a lot better. People generally don't bother to read articles with a Top Ten list sitting in front of them; so the list is the most important aspect of that article and they royally screwed it up IMO.
