It's actually quite easy. Just focus on the victims rather than the killers. Come and see, Grave of the Fireflies, Catch-22, All quiet on the Western Front, …
I've only watched Grave of the fireflies once. Can't bring myself to watch it again.
Fun fact: that debuted as a double feature with My Neighbor Totoro.
Damn, that's... oof. yikes. I hope Totoro was the first movie in that double feature.
Although, note to self if I ever open a drive-in movie place....
All Dogs Go To Heaven and Pet Semetary.
Babe and Vasa De Noces.
Fantastic Mr Fox and Antichrist.
Wall-E and Irreversible is a stretch.
So maybe Pinball Wizard and The Accused.
Band of Brothers is also a good one. War movies are so often the "moment of heroism" or tragedy, but in reality, it's not a moment. It's months, years on end of always being on full alert, where one false step one time is enough to die.
Bump for Come and See. I believe it's a government sponsored Belarusian anti-war film and it's pure horror. Watch that if you believe all war films glorify war.
Also Gundam: War in the Pocket. Great miniseries that zooms way into a small conflict to really focus on how war effects everyone.
Schindler's List...
