What defines a war movie? Does something like Braveheart qualify?

There have been more movies about WW II battles than any other war so I guess we mostly think of war movies as American war movies but I see your point. Braveheart is an English war movie. Waterloo, starring Rod Steiger as Napoleon, is a European war movie. Battle of Britain is a British war movie. Enemy at the Gates, Russian. Different periods, different countries. LOL, each is simply a "war movie".
