7. "A Midnight Clear" (1992)

All but ignored upon its release, 1992's "A Midnight Clear" has garnered a following among World War II movie enthusiasts. Then-unknowns Ethan Hawke and Gary Sinise lead a squad through snowy forests amid the Battle of the Bulge, assigned to investigate what became of the missing group that preceded them.
