According to fans, it's one of those movies that leaves a lasting impact on viewers.

8. Dunkirk (2017)

Another Christopher Nolan gem, Dunkirk, is a war film set during World War II.

You will feel that tension and urgency from your seat. Harry Styles (yes, the musician) also starred in it, which may be a plus for many people!
