THE GREATEST BATTLES OF OUR DAY

War films have come a long way since The Great Escape and other favourites of the past. We’ve put together a list of the best loved war films from the last decade as a tribute to the contemporary filmmakers producing realistic and thought provoking films – with plenty of action, guts and gore too!

And, if action is what you're after, get acquainted with the new action-thriller game, Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - the best in modern day battle. The latest game from the award-winning team at Infinity Ward sees players use sophisticated technology, superior firepower and coordinated land and air strikes to do battle with the enemy.
