Into the White
Very Good 83 Points 2012

True stories from World War II were mostly all made into movies well before 2012. Yet this one flew under the radar. Understandable perhaps for a story set far from the heart of the war, one that’s not even strategic, just a quotidian miracle from the great white North. Reindeer walk by, for g…

Jarhead 2: Fiel...
OK 17 Points 2014

Standard war movie fare:  A small group of jarheads against all odds, survive against the Taliban while carrying out an unlikely mission of having to rescue a local female political hero. Decent (albeit mindless) shoot-em-up entertainment is sometimes just what the Dr. ordered for war movie buffs.

Jojo Rabbit
Really Great 66 Points 2019

The Hitler Youth get a satirical stake through the heart in the wonderfully wacky Jojo Rabbit. Taika Waititi – he of Thor: Ragnarok – wrote the screenplay, directs the movie and even stars as a wacky Hitler, well a Hitler as the imagi…

Journey's End
Good 17 Points 2017

Major drama focusing on the deep feelings of fear and dread from British Officers stuck in a dugout in Aisne in 1918. The Germans are about to come over the wall, and it took unbelievable bravery to overcome raw nerves where the reward was death and destruction. The movie was a bit overbearing …

Judith
Great 66 Points 1966

Judith features Gentile moviestars playing Jewish freedom fighters during Israel’s War of Independence. It’s amazing how glamorous a story centered on early kibbutz life at the end of the British Mandate can be.

To that end, Judith is a fabulous Sophia Loren movie. The great Loren stars a…

K19 The Widowmaker
Very Good 17 Points 2002

Widow maker indeed. If you thought you already know how stressful things are on a wartime submarine? Try a nuclear submarine with a reactor failure. Starting with the champagne bottle that would not break at the christening, you knew things were going to go badly for the sea trials of K-19, Ru…

Kelly's Heroes
Very Good 17 Points 1970

A bit of 1970’s style irreverence tells the story of a rogue band of US soldiers who take advantage of the war in France to go for some cash. The best part of the movie are the cast of characters who (well maybe except for Clint Eastwood) really ham it up: Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Donald Su…

Kilo Two Bravo
Really Great 17 Points 2014

I honestly haven’t seen a more suspenseful, brutal and painful to watch war movie. Coming from a war movie junkie, there were times where I had to hide my eyes like a squeamish woman. The other thing about Kilo Two, is it is the first war movie (that I remember) that focuses on helplessness an…
