15 Great War Movies (Nobody Ever Talks About)

15. Tigerland

Directed by the late, great Joel Schumacher, 2003's critically acclaimed financial flop Tigerland is testament to the misunderstood director's versatility.

Taking a leaf from Stanley Kubrick's more insular and merciless Full Metal Jacket, this intense flick may technically be considered a Vietnam film but it's one which never leaves the US training camp where soldiers were prepared (read: desensitized) for the forthcoming slaughter.

A young Colin Farrell is superb as the heroic conscientious objector who makes it his mission to save his fellow privates from actually shipping out, and the film makes for one of Schumacher's most underrated cinematic outings in its harrowing story of a training camp which becomes hell on earth for our heroes
