It's hard to believe that they ever made any pro America movies in light of the current attitudes in Hollywood these days.

As for The Alamo, John Wayne's was as good as any and better than most even if it wasn't technically about America (in those days). In some ways the most recent Disney release of The Alamo was the best of that story. I thought Billy Bob's portrayal of Davey Crockett was superb, as was the perfectly human qualities of the participants.

For pro-American movies of the war genre, Command Decision (Clark Gable), The Patriot ( Mel Gibson), Band of Brothers (Several I never heard of), Memphis Belle (Long List of Stars) and Night People (Gregory Peck, Cold War) were excellent.

For anthologies, try How The West Was Won (Too Many To Name)

If I think of it today, I'll likely recall many more.

Believe it or not - it protrays the 1960s peace movement as a bunch of thugs, communists, and woman beaters.

Agreed. Saw it at the Drive-in when I was just a snot-nosed kid. Jimmy Stuart was great along with an out-of-character-role done by Walter Brennan.
