It may be a little overlong, but Wei and Woo introduce a fascinating story from history with plenty of stylish action and objectivity.
War
As If I Am Not There
A harrowing tale from the human side of the Bosnian War in the Nineties that is well-acted and excellently-directed. Moving, haunting, disturbing but also a must see.
War Horse
Diabetes-inducing sappy drama from Spielberg that fails to capture the imagination. A real missed opportunity of a unique premise.
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
A heart-wrenching and original Holocaust movie that looks at this horrific event through the innocent eyes of a child. Done with such subtlety and authenticity that it’s much more than just emotional manipulation
Zulu
An old school war epic that will be sure to entertain and have you rooting for the surrounded British troops as long as you ignore the total glorification of the Empire (the British one, not the one that struck back).
Waltz with Bashir
Ari Folman has definitely created one of the best, most harrowing and memorable ever movies about war. The decision to use a mixture of animation styles was an inspiration and sets it aside from the rest.
