I forgot to include “Windtalkers.” It was about the Navajo codetalkers (they didn’t call themselves “windtalkers”) and according to this movie, each Navajo codetalker was assigned a white marine whose job was to shoot the Navajo if it looked like he was about to be captured. No basis in fact. It was strictly a Hollywood fiction to give Nicholas Cage another prominent role in which to bomb again.

If you hadn't remembered Wind Talkers I was going to remind you. Excruciatingly bad portrayal of a fascinating real life story. They must have been trying to set a record for the number of cliches they could pack in per foot of film. And while he's too quirky for many I usually enjoy Nicholas Cage's work quite a lot.
