MUNICH
Munich was its director's last masterpiece for a good long while, but a masterpiece it was nonetheless. Whatever else, you still have to admit that taking on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict represented a somewhat braver thing than simply suggesting that the Holocaust was bad. Plus, do you know how many cool explosions Schindler's List has? That's right. It has none.
2005
Directed by Steven Spielberg
Written by Tony Kushner and Eric Roth (based on the book Vengeance by George Jonas)

Spoiler alert: to the best of my knowledge, Israel never faced another terrorist attack again
