Counter-terrorism movies?
 

Recommend me films about counter-terrorism — films that follow the point of view of the terrorist can be recommended too.

I'm about to rewatch Munich, The Devil's Own and The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

Eye In The Sky

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy 2011

How about: The Lives of Other People

As far as films that follow the p.o.v. of the terrorist, Paradise Now is a must see.

Also, one of the subplots from Syriana fits the criteria.

Finally, Four Lions for the laffs.

State of Siege

Nocturama

As far as counter-terrorism goes, maybe The Siege? Zero Dark Thirty?

The Battle of Algiers (which is near my Top 5 all-time)... Here is the full movie on YouTube (for free) along with the Special Features, which are the best I have ever seen.

I can't believe I didn't think of that one. It's in my top 30.

How about masterpieces like The Delta Force, Under Siege and Ticker :D

One of my favorites is Executive Decision (1996) - slightly prophetic and almost a perfect film as far as plot, action, suspense & pacing.

Good movie if you like Kurt Russell. Great movie if you don't like Steven Seagal. ;)
