Best Years of Our Lives

[Travis T. OJustice]

Band of Brothers, all tenhours, PLUS (especially) the interviews of the men that are the actual subject of the movie.

Watched Saving Private Ryan with my kids Monday night, they loved it, and were scared as hell by it, and still want to join the military. Tough chicks!

- Black Hawk Down

Another vote for BHD.

Patton was terrific. Also: “The Bridges at Toko-Ri,” starring William Holden. The Korean War from an aircraft carrier aviator’s perspective.

[MasonGal]

The Longest Day is on AMC right now.

The Longest Day

In Harms Way

Band of Brothers

Dr Strangelove for the lighter side

The Bedford Incident

[Cathy]

The Longest Day

Bridge over the River Kwai

Dirty Dozen

I used to watch a lot of WWII movies with my dad late at night. I love The Patriot too, and Braveheart - even though it is not an American movie the last scene with Gibson yelling “FREEDOM!” gets me every time.
