20 War Movies You Must See Before You Die

12. Ice Cold In Alex (1958)

Set in Africa during World War Two, Ice Cold In Alex - based on the novel of the same name - tells the story of a small band of allies who are separated from their division, and their journey back to Alexandria. Despite the title, this movie isn't set in the harsh terrains of some snowfield, but refers to the main character's need for a cold beer.
