I don’t have a problem with your list, as it is your opinion, but I do agree with several people that this is more or less a list of American war movies.

I would have most likely included foreign films. I am a strong advocate of “Grave of the Fireflies.” It is a beautifully animated movie about siblings trying to navigate their way through a devastated Japan after an American bombing during WWII.

It’s well worth a watch.

I was always interested in the comparison between Norse Mythology and the world building in “The Silmarillion.” I found that Padraic Colum’s “Nordic Gods and Heroes” is a fairly straight forward approach to telling the Odin the Wanderer stories. It has helped develop my appreciation of the story Tolkien was weaving.

I personally enjoy remasters. I don’t purchase all of them, I suspect nobody does, but there are certain games that demand to be played again. Plus, as the author mentions, not everybody has the luxury of owning previous consoles, so it is nice to pick up games I may have missed from past generations.
