Netflix has been a part of our lives since 2007, and it is constantly creating new content to keep the audience interested. The streaming platform has it all, from horror to comedy, action to animated series. It has been our ally in good times and bad. When we are down, we turn to Netflix to lift our spirits; when we want to spend more time with loved ones who are thousands of miles away, we host a Netflix party to break down the barriers.

It has classics such as Goodfellas, The Shawshank Redemption, and Schindler’s List, as well as interactive entertainment such as Cat Burglar, Bandersnatch, and Boss Baby: Get That Baby!. Now we’ve thought of a way to make your job easier by compiling a list of some of the best war movies accessible on Netflix.

Saving Private Ryan

Saving Private Ryan is a three-hour film that was released in 1998, yet the plot fits the length. The film directed by Steven Spielberg depicts a heroic operation during World War II’s last stages. It follows US Army Captain John H. Miller (Tom Hanks) as he is tasked with tracking down Private First Class James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon).

Inglourious Bastards

Inglorious Bastards, directed by the great Quentin Tarantino, is an unusual war film that aims to expose the horrors of war. The story is based on a fictional alternate history of WWII. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.

Unbroken

Unbroken tells the story of a young lad named Louis “Louie” Zamperini who joins the military as World War II breaks out. The Japanese navy eventually captures him. They sent Louie to a POW camp, where he becomes a favourite target of a ruthless jail commander.
