#1. Beyond the Walls (1984)

Storyline: In an Israeli penitentiary, a race war threatens to erupt between the two gangs. Jewish criminals, including drug users and rapists, are imprisoned next to Arab war criminals, and the hostility is only escalated by the interference of prison security, who frame the Arabs for the murder of a Jewish prisoner. The two rival camps -- headed by Israeli Uri (Arnon Zadock) and Arab Issan (Mohammed Bakri) -- decide to form an unlikely union that may or may not put a stop to the bloodshed.

#3. Beaufort (2007)

Storyline: BEAUFORT tells the story of LIRAZ LIBERTI, the 22 year-old outpost commander, and his troops in the months before Israel pulled out of Lebanon. This is not a story of war, but of retreat. This is a story with no enemy, only an amorphous entity that drops bombs from the skies while terrified young soldiers must find a way to carry out their mission until their very last minutes on that mountaintop. As LIRAZ lays the explosives which would destroy that very same structure that his friends had died defending, he witnesses the collapse of all he's been taught as an officer, and his soldier's mental and physical disintegration.—Anonymous
