Diego Pineda has been a devout storyteller his whole life. He has self-published a fantasy novel and a book of short stories, and is actively working on publishing his second novel.
Throughout the history of cinema, the war film genre has been one of the most groundbreaking and popular. When done right, these are movies that intelligently and powerfully explore dark periods of human history, eras of nonsensical violence and pointless conflicts. The Cold War, in particular, has been the subject of many outstanding films, whether they were made during the period or long after.
Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance are terrific in the lead roles, with the latter winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his subtle yet powerful performance. Spielberg is also at the top of his game here, managing to make a relatively understated legal drama such as this one incredibly thrilling, tense, and intriguing. Bridge of Spies may not be his best effort in the war genre, but it sure is up there.
It's always refreshing to watch films told from perspectives that one doesn't often see depicted on screen, and the Cold War experience of a Polish couple is certainly not a tale that's told by movies often. Despite only being a little under an hour and a half long, Cold War is more passionate and full of visual beauty than most other contemporary outings in the genre.Not available
6 'The Hunt for Red October' Directed by John McTiernan The adventures of Jack Ryan, Tom Clancy's well-known ex-Marine CIA analyst, have been adapted for the screen on repeated occasions, with varying degrees of success. To this day, one of the best adaptations of the character's stories is The Hunt for Red October, a tense techno-thriller where Jack Ryan and the CIA detect the Soviet Union's best submarine captain violating orders and heading for the U.S.
4 'The Manchurian Candidate' Directed by John Frankenheimer As underrated as Jonathan Demme's 2004 remake starring Denzel Washington is, nothing beats John Frankenheimer's original 1962 Frank Sinatra-starring The Manchurian Candidate. It's about an American POW in the Korean War who's brainwashed as an assassin working for an international Communist conspiracy.
