Movies that feel likeAllied (2016)

In 1942, an intelligence officer in North Africa encounters a female French Resistance fighter on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. When they reunite in London, their relationship is tested by the pressures of war.

If you loved Allied, the closest films we have are Battle for Sevastopol (2015), Wings (1927) and Sisu (2022). All three share Allied's bleak feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Ashes and Diamonds (1958).
