War is arguably the most powerful genre in cinema. While movies are designed to entertain at a fundamental level, they can also offer commentary and perspective on real-world issues. Whether current or historical, films can provide education and insight into the horrors of war in ways that no other forms of media can. Movies like All Quiet on the Western Front and Come and See profoundly impacted audiences, contextualizing war and opening a discussion on its futility.

Surreal, haunting and often difficult to stomach, few war movies have managed visuals so striking and memorable.
