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!!

Almost every military/war movie made before 1970. Especially those made within 20 years of WW ll.

A less well known one I like is “So Proudly We Hail” about the nurses in the Philippines with Claudette Colbert and Veronica Lake.

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?

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.

Memorial Day originates with the Civil War. So here's a Civil War pic: The Red Badge of Courage. Bonus for starring Audie Murphy.
