Having been corrected about Rules of Engagement (it was a film), I shall add it to this list ...
12. Rules of Engagement (2000)

reply

It doesn't sound like a "Movie that mostly revolves around women during war time." This is essentially about a court martial, with the main characters all being men: Tommy Lee Jones as Col Hayes Lawrence "Hodge" Hodges II, USMC, Samuel L. Jackson as Col Terry L. Childers, USMC, Guy Pearce as Maj Mark Biggs, USMC, and Ben Kingsley as Ambassador Mourain.
