25 best war movies – Starship Troopers (1997)

‪Starship Troopers‬ (1997)

Paul Verhoeven's future war satire follows, in extended newsflash form, the fortunes of a bunch of new recruits straight out of high school who are packed off to exterminate the hordes of giant killer space bugs threatening humanity.

A scathing attack on militarism and fascism from the Dutch director – who lived through the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II.

    Casualties Of War should be in there. The tension is electric and the film is barely watchable in parts. The subject matter, American war crimes, meant it would never get the Hollywood treatment but it made it a better film, Totally absorbing, it'll have you on the edge of your seat throughout.

    For myself, A Bridge Too Far‬ will always be my all time No 1. But Kelly's Hero's is still a entertaining romp.
