The World War II movie genre has produced some of the biggest box-office hits and Oscar darlings of all time, whether it’s more violent epics like Saving Private Ryan (starring Tom Hanks ) or Oppenheimer (starring Cillian Murphy ). The title for the most popular WWII movie of the year so far belongs to Pressure , the new epic starring Brendan Fraser opposite Andrew Scott that’s now available to watch at home. Following behind Pressure was Lucky Strike (starring Scott Eastwood ), which shifted the focus from D-Day to The Battle of the Bulge. Fans craving a good World War II naval thriller have found one of the biggest streaming hits of the decade in Greyhound , the Apple TV original epic starring Tom Hanks. The demand for more Greyhound is so high that Apple TV has greenlit a sequel to the film, which is filming this year.
