A few of my favorites are "The Longest Day" (John Wayne...need I say more?), "They Were Expendable", "Since You Went Away" (I know, I know..not exactly a military tribute film but a tribute of those who kept the home fires burning), "The Best Years of Our Lives"....all great movies to remember those who gave some and all!!

Anything with John Wayne, we were soldiers, pretty much all movies from before 1970.

I've been watching old films lately, it makes me so sad. America used to be so wholesome, so patriotic, filled largely with good, honest, hardworking, patriotic people. People went to church, they dressed properly, they served their country, they raised families and had good American values.

Now, walk through any large American city -- with the hipsters, flaunting weirdos, the gangstas, the avante-garde metrosexuals...Its like a freakshow. Its like the bar scene from starwars. Its perplexing almost...How did it happen?

“Sergeant York”

Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan, need more to be said?

June Lockhart, Ward Bond, and Noah Beery Jr. were also in the movie.

[Oatka]

A sleeper "Between Heaven and Hell" (1956) .

WWII Pacific saga with a good cast of characters, which shows some deaths by friendly fire, something that is not often shown.

I have trouble deciding which portrays the pain, anguish, horrors and futility of Vietnam better - Hamburger Hill or Platoon.
Probably a tie ... I'm in a cold sweat and a really nasty "funk" after watching either one.
