‘Greyhound’
Though there are a plethora of World War II movies to choose from today, Greyhound is one that should not be missed. Based on the 1955 novel The Good Shepherd, the film follows Tom Hanks’ US Navy Commander Ernest Krause as he is assigned to lead a convoy of ships across the Atlantic during the height of the war. Once his convoy is out of range of aerial protection, they are relentlessly pursued by German U-boats. Krause and his crew soon find themselves right in the middle of what would become the largest and most complex naval battle in history. Greyhound takes an extremely tactical and tense approach to the story it is telling, making viewers feel as if they are right there with them.
