5. War of the Worlds
   Based on the retelling novel of H.G Wells, including the original War of the Worlds back in 1953. Steven Spielberg creates the allusion of the classic and creates it into a satifying epic movie that will blow you away! The tale between aliens and humans was a perfect theme in this movie and its nostagia is through the roof. Some movies spoofed this movie,(Epic Movie) but the humour is underdone and not funny as it looks like.

7. War in Literature -- World War
   The Spanish Civil War (1936-39) has generated a vast bibliography and filmography that reflects widely antagonistic interpretations. The ideals and passions of this war have not subsided, and indeed have been recreated and relived time and again in art and literature. On a world level it was the first clear clash between democracy and totalitarianism. From the Spanish perspective, it remains the most important single event in understanding modern Spain. The course will begin with a historical introduction to the origins, development, and outcome of the war, then concentrate on the poetic and personal accounts of mostly Spanish authors, as reflected in poetry, short fiction, novels, and films. Readings by Ayala, Sender, Aub, Andujar, Goytisolo, Matute, Neruda, Alberti, Machado, and others.
8. War Propaganda -- World War
   Despite the manifestation of technological breakthroughs during the beginning of the First World War, governments had few mass media options that could be used for their propaganda campaigns. Radio had yet to become a popular household item, and the purchase cost of newspapers limited its potential audience. Ultimately, the poster--an artistic-based mass media format that contained visual images with accompanying text--remained a viable option for government-based propaganda campaigns. Posters were inexpensive and did not require intricate technology to be created and produced in mass quantities. They were ... easy to display, and could be placed in public areas to maximize their potential audience. Perhaps most importantly, the poster's combination of pictures and text provided a fertile breeding ground for propaganda ideas.
9. Formula One -- Formula One Grand Prix
   "A Formula One Grand Prix is one of the world's most prestigious sporting events, in the same category as an Olympic Games or World Cup, and is unrivalled in terms of continuous global resonance. That is why this new partnership is such an exciting one for Abu Dhabi and the entire UAE," said His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
10. World War 1 -- Great War
    World War One aircraft were sometimes referred to as "flying coffins" for the very simple meaning that these early warbirds often were the death of every young pilot, sometimes to as little as a few weeks of flight time. Another attribute of these early flying machines was that they were constructed out of plywood with stretched fabric skin, often taking the shape of boxy wooden coffin-like appearances. The construction was... beneficial in most designs as the fuselage of these planes could often withstand a great deal of punishment and still get their pilots home safely. Often times however, even the best would succumb to the designs that were to be so evolutionary decades from removed from the war. It should be noted that aircraft (as combat platforms) were generally in their infancy during the First World War, which is why one might see so many production aircraft on a list such as this spanning just a few years. As technology progressed and aircraft engineers found new workarounds for new problems, the few-month-old models that were the king of the skies quickly gave way to newer models, giving the average life span of many fighters only about a few months of frontline service.
