The Hurt Locker
The film follows an Iraq War Explosive Ordnance Disposal team who are targeted by insurgents and shows their psychological reactions to the stress of combat.
Kathryn Bigelow's look at modern-day warfare is a fascinating glimpse into a revamped war genre. With The Hurt Locker, Bigelow became the first and only woman so far to win the Academy Award for Best Director.
Dunkirk
Dunkirk (Dunkirk) is an American-British-French-Dutch war film written and directed by Christopher Nolan, released in 2017. It deals with Operation Dynamo, which allowed the re-embarkation of British troops stuck in the Dunkirk pocket, at the end of the French campaign.This film is a masterful look at the attack on Dunkirk from three different vantage points. Also, as a bonus, it features Harry Styles in his first major acting role, and your boy will make you proud.
Saving Private Ryan
Saving Private Ryan dives into the complex ethics of war. When a mother loses three of her four sons in combat, a special mission is developed to go out to save the surviving Private Ryan (Matt Damon) in Normandy before he becomes the final fatality that breaks a family apart. But in doing so, the mission risks the lives of the seven men sent to save him.
Patton
Platoon stars Willem Dafoe and Charlie Sheen in one of the most raw and devastating portrayals of war in film history. Oliver Stone wrote the screenplay based on his own experience in Vietnam, and the effects are both moving and disturbing at the same time.
Schindler's List
There is perhaps no more grueling and heartbreaking cinematic portrayal of the Holocaust than Schindler's List, a portrayal of World War II where a German businessman works to save more than a thousand Jewish people by employing them in his factories.
Inglourious Basterds
The film tells an alternate history story of two plots to assassinate Nazi Germany's leadership, one planned by Shosanna Dreyfus (Laurent), a young French Jewish cinema proprietor, and the other by the British but ultimately conducted solely by a team of Jewish American soldiers led by First Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt). Christoph Waltz co-stars as Hans Landa, an SS colonel in charge of tracking down Raine's group.
