When 'American Sniper' came out in 2014, it divided both audiences and critics. To some, Clint Eastwood's biopic about America's most deadly marksman (255 kills during the Iraqi War) Chris Kyle was the purest example of shameless patriotism and war glorification. Others thought Eastwood only intention was to show the sheer pointlessness of it all. Whatever you might think of this films's true meaning, 'American Sniper' is a riveting portrait of modern warfare. Read more Watch the trailer of American Sniper RATING: 77/100

If you want to know what it is like to be packed in with 5 other tough swearing soldiers in a claustrophobic Second World War tank, then this film might be something for you. Fury is even a little silly at times (like when Brad Pitt loses his shit with a Nazi POW), but it is also a great and captivating account of tank warfare. It could not get more manly with each character outperforming the other in terms of bravado and toughness. Apparently the actors even had fistfights on set to determine the alpha-male and let loose some testosteron. Read more Watch the trailer of Fury RATING: 80/100

Sad as it may be, there are and always will be gripping war stories to tell. Troops are perhaps no longer fully deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan, and the First and Second World Wars are far behind us, but that does not mean nothing is going on, for example in places like the Middle-East that we should know about. We can learn much from the news and fine war journalism, but we see so many of those images that they become devoid of meaning. Filmmakers in the field of the warfare genre should tell the tales of people living in warzones like Syria. Make them intensely personal so that we, who live in peace, may in some way grasp what it means to live there. Sure, it's Hollywood so these films must also entertain us with bombs, shootings, and romantic heroism, but filmmakers should not forget the severity of their topic. Fortunately, a number of great new war flicks found a perfect balance between the need for entertainment and the necessity to inform. In very different ways, these movies all tell important and poignant stories that need to be heard.
