Right. I should have said “Russian Revolutions” and distinguished between the one in 1905 and the ones in 1917 (which were followed by the Russian Civil War, in which Dr. Zhivago and Reds were set.
No movie apparently, but there was a TV miniseries on The Year of the French about the uprising, based on the historical novel of the same name.
Rambo III was about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
The Royal Hunt of the Sun is set during the Spanish Conquest of the Inca Empire.
The Mongol Conquests are depicted in a couple of movies entitled Genghis Khan plus the notorious The Conqueror starring John Wayne as Genghis.
Braveheart depicts events during the First Scottish War of Independence starting in 1296.
Juarez and Vera Cruz involve the French intervention in Mexico in the 1860s.
How could we not mention that seminal docu-drama Carry on up the Khyber? 
The Emu War is more interesting.
As is The Beast
It might be worth discriminating between the Teutonic Knights’ crusade against the Slavs et al. in the Baltic and the rest of Europe’s against the Muslims in the Holy Land, eh? 
No, Richard Burton. You know, the guy who starred in Jaws with Rob Schneider and Artie Shaw. 
ps. John Barleycorn must die.

Lumper!

Sum Of All Fears begins with an Arab/Israli conflict… kind of… anyways…
Ah! Good point; I was thinking more of the German theater of operations, but, yeah.
There’s a Kirk Douglas movie about the 1949 Arab/Israeli war, but I don’t know of any Six Day War movies, or movies about the 1956 war. Come to think of it, the 1973 war either.
