War
War
Empire of the Sun
Despite being set during a uniquely interesting time and place in history, this coming of age tale is boring, long winded, and fairly unrewarding.
Greyhound
This excellent naval thriller skimps on frills and is all the better for it.
The Best Years of Our Lives
This ambitious anthology film about World War II veterans is not just one of the best films on the topic, but one of the all time greats in general.
All Quiet on the Western Front
One of the most effective and affecting pieces of anti-war media I have ever consumed.
Emperor
An interesting piece of docudrama clumsily told.
Red Dawn
An inventive idea squandered by a muddied execution and poor acting.
Heartbreak Ridge
An atypical war movie with a strong central performance and not much else.
