Just in case I've missed a discussion somewhere, why do we have a category for Postwar films about World War II? This seems too specific, especially as any films that don't belong in the category World War II films made in wartime should go into it.
Why don't we just keep the category for those made during wartime and let everything else remain in World War II films? Mallanox13:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A lot of movies won't fit into just one theater, of course; but a whole lot more films take place only in the Pacific, or only at Normandy, or only in Russia, and so on. It makes sense to me to categorize them according to that criterion.
I'm not opposed to a split, but I'm not sure those would be the most useful or intuitive divisions. A category on D-Day/Normandy films might be useful, and there are one or two others that could work. Carom21:00, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm opposed... as we have WWII films setup now movies like Au Revoir Les Enfants, Grave of Fireflies are WWII films... and, they are... but I wouldn't say they belong to either theater. Theaters are for battles... not for civilian centric films. Holocaust films are WWII films but they are not European theater WWII films. I don't mind sub-categories like D-Day, "Battle for the Pacific" or some good title for films which aren't war films but about people affected by the war... but, I don't think we should clear out this category ever since I doubt we will come up with all inclusive sub categories. grenグレン02:55, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm opposed. I'm not sure this split would cause anything but confusion. It runs counter to the traditional methods of sub-categorising films, ie by genre, by star or by director. A sortable list would be handy though. Roger05:53, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Clarifications: I'm not suggesting that we get rid of Category:Holocaust films, nor that it become a subcat of Category:World War II films (European theater). I'm talking only about war movies dealing with combat operations. A subcategory for D-Day movies sounds like a good idea; D-Day and Pearl Harbor together probably account for a great number of WWII films, and Category:Submarine fiction covers quite a few of the remaining Pacific-theater movies. Note to Roger: The proposed split is according to the "traditional method" of categorization by genre. Sorry if that wasn't clear. --Quuxplusone08:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I split off Category:World War II navy films some time ago as it was a means of cross referencing Category:Seafaring films. I considered at the time other splits to the category including geography but as they weren't intuitive to the average film viewer I decided against it. As such I would oppose this kind of split except D-Day and Pear Harbour as major individual events. Perhaps an aviation category would be workable? Mallanox23:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
