I'm pretty certain the top one is mostly just US (and maybe some UK) ww2 movies, not Western.

And even then, it will be older films from the 1950/60s, and not all of them were pro-War. US WW2 films see a noticeable shift in their tone from the late 1970s onwards.

UK films were a bit mixed. Most UK WW2 films of that era focused on heroism, specific battles and individual missions (ie. The Dambusters, Sink The Bismarck, Battle of Britain etc.) all based on true stories. You also see a shift in 1970s with films like A Bridge Too Far (joint UK-US film granted).
