What are the best recent action movies? Now is your chance to decide. There are a lot of modern action films to choose from. Action films have been wowing audiences&nbsp;for a long time, but they are currently more popular than ever. Advancements in computer technology&nbsp;-&nbsp;such as the ability to digitally erase safety wires - has allowed for the design and execution of never-before-possible stunts. New cinematography techniques and special camera equipment&nbsp;allow those stunts to be photographed as never before. In short, the best new action films make you feel as though you&#39;re participating in the danger right alongside the characters onscreen.

It also helps that several actors have shown a willingness to do their own stunt work, which provides the movies with an extra dose of realism. That sort of devotion gives them an extra edge of excitement.&nbsp;

Looking closer at some of the best, most realistic, most brutal depictions of war in the history of entertainment.

Wars on Screen

From classics like Saving Private Ryan to newer entries like Dunkirk and 1917, this list ranks the <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best movies</a> about war, battles, and military conflicts. These films recreate some of the most <a href="/list/most-important-historical-events-of-the-20th-century/mwahahahaha?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">significant events</a> in world history from a variety of perspectives and with a variety of purposes and intentions. Some top war films attempt to recreate as realistically as possible the events they depict, either from an omniscient perspective permitted by historical study or from the point of view of the soldiers and civilians involved in the conflict itself. Ridley Scott&#39;s Black Hawk Down, for example, was both praised in its time and heavily criticized for bringing a &quot;you are there&quot; sense of realism - and little outside or cultural perspective - to a recreation of the Battle of Mogadishu. The best war movies of all time differ widely in their handling of the subject matter, but they all strike a chord with viewers now and in the time when they came out.

Some of the <a href="/list/best-war-movies-on-netflix/reference">greatest war films</a> use <a href="/list/historical-movies-made-before-event-ended/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">war as a backdrop</a> to look at larger issues - such as man&#39;s inhumanity to man or the crippling impact of post-traumatic stress - or just as a meditation on war itself. Still other films like Glory and Band of Brothers&nbsp;examine the personal drama of a few individuals, and mine it for larger insights about the meaning of war and the impact that violence has on individual human lives.

Finally, some war films - particularly those made during the classic Hollywood era - are simply adventure films with war providing a compelling setting and situation. The Great Escape, for example, remains a classic not because of its grand ideas about the nature of war, but because it is a ceaselessly entertaining spectacle. No matter what type of film, there&#39;s no denying that these are certainly the best war movies ever.

Vote up your favorite war films to move them up the list, and if <a href="/list/the-ultimate-favorites-list/stevo200?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">your favorites</a> are not yet represented, make your own version of the list and add them!

Very Funny Movies

The world can be a pretty scary place sometimes, so thank goodness we have funny movies to make us laugh. A number of recent comedy movies have done just that. The last four or five years have given audiences some truly hilarious&nbsp;films that are already on their way to achieving &quot;classic&quot; status. Other recently released comedies&nbsp;may not quite get elevated to that lofty level, but they provide&nbsp;a few&nbsp;hours of escapist entertainment nonetheless. The best new top comedy movies make you forget your problems for a little while at least. They send you away feeling upbeat and happy. Such an experience is always worth the price of a ticket or a rental fee.

Every generation produces its own stars. Modern comedies are driven by immensely talented performers such as Melissa McCarthy, Seth Rogen, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, and Amy Schumer, to name just a few. These are the people who are making their mark on cinematic humor in this decade.&nbsp;

Teen Movies

Teen movies are a longtime staple of many viewers&#39; cinematic diet, but the best new <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-teen-movies-of-all-time/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank">teen films</a> really raise the bar. The genre first gained a measure of&nbsp;popularity in the early 1980s, with a string of raunchy <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-teen-comedy-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">teen comedies</a>, many of which centered around teenagers going on spring break or having some other kind of escapade. Hardbodies and Porky&#39;s&nbsp;are just two examples from that era.&nbsp;These&nbsp;were&nbsp;exploitation flicks, usually telling stories about young men looking to &quot;get lucky&quot; with their beautiful classmates. John Hughes turned the tide with a string of smart, sensitive teen stories that began with 1984&#39;s Sixteen Candles and also included The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller&#39;s Day Off, Pretty in Pink, and Some Kind of Wonderful. Suddenly, it was proven that real teenagers didn&#39;t want to see an exaggerated version of themselves; they wanted honest stories they could relate to.

The best new teen films carry on that tradition, and even expand it. Current movies like The Edge of Seventeen, Eighth Grade, and Love, Simon all speak to what it&#39;s like to be an adolescent in modern times. Of course, there are genre films centered around -- and geared toward -- teens, as well. Some of them manage to offer insights, despite telling stories steeped in fantasy.&nbsp;

Modern science fiction movies provide&nbsp;audiences with a wide range of subject matter. The genre offers a lot of flexibility, as it is capable of telling stories set on Earth or in outer space. Often times, the two are combined, with aliens visiting our planet&nbsp;or by having&nbsp;earthlings journey to another planet. Audiences have long enjoyed the speculative nature of sci-fi - the way it imagines amazing scientific breakthroughs, futuristic societies, interstellar battles, and more. It taps directly into our collective imagination.

The best new sci-fi films have continued this tradition. The genre has benefited from modern advancements in special effects technology. As CGI becomes more and more sophisticated, it&#39;s possible for movies to take on bigger ideas and to depict astonishing sights with more authenticity than ever before. Consequently, a couple of the more recent sci-fi movies have already come close to achieving &quot;classic&quot; status.&nbsp;
