Dunkirk (2017)
Setting: World War II; Dunkirk, Northern France
Directed by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Night, Interstellar, Inception), Dunkirk was immediately met with critical acclaim when it came out. With a touching script that follows young soldiers eager to evacuate the eponymous town, Nolan was lauded for the heartfelt storytelling the movie delivered. With high-powered acting from then-unknown actor Fionn Whitehead, supported by appearances from Cilian Murphy, Tom Hardy, and Harry Styles, this movie quickly became the talk of the town. The action scenes vary from ground to air battle. Watch out for the excellent score created by no other than Hans Zimmer; listen to it here: Dunkirk Score Suite.
