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. Upon inhabiting an abandoned chateau, our guys' already-shot nerves are further frayed by strange occurrences, such as corpse displays and unseen Germans taunting them in the darkness. What do they want?...This haunting and measured drama is considered an overlooked gem by many... Asides include reflections on the 1992 race riots.
