13) Dunkirk (2017)
In another war movie, Christopher Nolan weaves a tale of the evacuation of Allied soldiers from Dunkirk during World War II by spinning together three interlocking land, sea, and air stories with a minimum amount of dialogue, all through an all-encompassing score.
Thèmes, including survival, heroism, and the ceaseless and unstoppable passage of time, are explored in the film. These themes emerge as desolate soldiers and civilians find themselves irrevocably brought together in a desperate moment of such glory as can be seen only in war.
