12. "Darkest Hour" (2017)

World War II Movie Night has its first biopic with 2017's "Darkest Hour," one of several movies made about Winston Churchill, and the one many consider the best. From the makers of inaugural episode feature "Atonement," "Darkest Hour" follows Churchill (Gary Oldman) through several days in May 1940, during which he is chosen as Prime Minister amid the increasing German takeover of Europe, including the events that would come to be known as 'Dunkirk.' Witness Churchill's increasing desperation as he deals with not only Germany but the French, his own party, and the King... Asides include thoughts on Gary Oldman's vast filmography and the tendency of drinkers to become weepy.
