War movies that don't have issues with corniness are rare if not nonexistent obviously.

But I guess following the Oscars will give you some sense of the current zeitgeist and there's bound to be a few good films somewhere among the nominees. I might watch The Shape of Water soon if my brother really wants to go and see it, but there's not a great amount of Oscar movies that I feel curious about. I guess that I tend to discover them a year or two later if they still get talked about by film geeks.

TFW the film geeks on this forum have been discussing every nom from this year rather positively....
Empty rejectionism will get you nowhere. This isn't politics.
