These movies were originally added to the genre 'drama', but seeing there are quite a few war related films I'd like to see this year, I thought it best just to put them in their own category.
Although not the most pleasant of genre, I do think it is important to watch these films as they raise questions and open debat.
On that serious note, here are 6 war movies to be released in 2017;
Bitter Harvest - 3 March 2017 (UK)
