War movies can provide terrible descriptions of war, but they also often make the people who fight with them valuable. Depending on the war, they may also play a propaganda role, suggesting that the soldiers fighting in this war are fighting for good and evil.

Pan's Labyrinth
It tells a fantastic story against the background of the Spanish Civil War. Pan's Labyrinth uses this background as a place where our young protagonists urgently need to escape. However, the reason why this war movie is so good is how the horror of war permeates the child's imagination, even though she does not always realize it. War may consume everything, and in the labyrinth of pan, it becomes almost inevitable.

Dunkirk
Dunkirk carries most of the suspense on this list and is one of Christopher Nolan's best war movie. It details one of the most distressing events of World War II. A group of soldiers from Belgium, France and Britain were fleeing a battle in which they were badly defeated by the axis powers, forcing them to wait for rescue on the beach of Dunkirk, while the German soldiers attacked their helpless team. With its evocative sound design and soundtrack, this war movie brings you directly into action, depicting several time lines of collapse, because we saw the loss of the front-line troops caused by this brutal withdrawal.

Schindler's List
In one of Steven Spielberg's best films, Schindler's list shows the conflict and desolation of Jews during the Nazi occupation of Poland. The war movie focuses on an industrialist (Liam Nissen), who moves to Krakow to pursue a promising career and begins to witness the extermination of Jews in the city, prompting him to shelter employees who become targets of Nazi forces. This historical tragedy is completely black and white (except for some selective symbolic red in the film), which can only be strengthened through the artistic expression behind the lens.

The Thin Red Line
In this list, the thin red line explores the special fighting style and tactics used by Japanese infantry in the island war, where the boundary between morality and victory is damaged. An American soldier (Jim kaweizel) who is unwilling to leave his duty without permission is spending time with the local people on an island in the South Pacific. He is captured and forced to rejoin the team fighting the Japanese Imperial Army in World War II. Supported by a group of rising stars, including John Cusack's heroic image, the war movie shows the feelings of American soldiers when they are forced to fight against enemies they do not even know.

The Bridge on the River Kwai
Some people think that this is the best war film in history. The bridge on the River Kwai is a close shot of Southeast Asian prisoners of war during the Second World War. Under the leadership of the rule and patriotic Colonel Nicholson (Alec Guinness), the British prisoners of war are forced to build a train bridge on the Guihe river. They do not know that they are carrying out an operation to destroy it. Although Alec Guinness has been established as a film icon, he played a proud colonel and tried to make history in the process of being forced to build this war monument. This film won seven Oscars at that time for its wonderful storyline, consolidating its historical position as a classic war movie.

The Hurt Locker
Kathryn Bigelow, the director of breakthrough, brought six Oscar winners, "the Hurt Locker" - the only film on the list to comment on the cruelty of the Iraq war. When a substitute sergeant is assigned to a bomb team, the level of tension will be high, but his dangerous but very successful method will be further aggravated. The result was a tense war drama in which people around the sergeant began to question his tactics. Jeremy Renner, who appeared in an early performance, perfectly demonstrated one of the unfortunate and common side effects of War: obsession with life style.
