Defiance

If you like the Bond character played by Daniel Craig, you will most likely love this role for him as well. This is a great story. Maybe even the best "untold" story of WWII. Edward Zwick is a genius. He does these great stories and makes them so captivating that we don't realize we're being taught history.

Liev Schreiber plays the younger brother of Craig's character. This duo is amazing together.

Make sure to watch the special features before you watch the movie. They are so good you may find yourself tearing up. Tears for special features? Yeah, they are that good and will give you a great history lesson about what really happened and who brought the story to light. Chalk up another one for doing family history?

Alexa Davalos is amazing. She gives the second best, second biggest, monologue in the story.

Watch this movie with someone who has family from Central Europe.
