4	Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) more movies like this directed by Clint Eastwood featuring Ken Watanabe, Kazunari Ninomiya, Tsuyoshi Ihara, Ryo Kase, Shidou Nakamura After bringing the story of the American soldiers who fought in the battle of Iwo Jima to the screen in his film Flags of Our Fathers, Clint Eastwood offers an equally thoughtful portrait of the Japanese forces who held the island for 36 days in this military drama. In 1945, World War II was in its last stages, and U.S. forces were planning to ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
5	Midway (1976) more movies like this directed by Jack Smight featuring Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda, James Coburn, Glenn Ford, Hal Holbrook An expensive war epic, Midway emulates The Longest Day and Tora!

6	Hell's Angels (1930) more movies like this directed by Howard R. Hughes, Luther Reed, Marshall Neilan featuring Ben Lyon, James Hall, Jean Harlow, John Darrow, Lucien Prival No one was surprised in 1929 that aviation mogul Howard R. Hughes would produce a paean to World War I flying aces like Hell's Angels. Given Hughes' comparative inexperience as a moviemaker, however, everyone was taken slightly aback that the finished film was as good as it was. The very American Ben Lyon and James Hall play (respectively) Monte ... see all copies from $8.40! new only from $11.03!

As part of ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $8.75!
9	Operation Pacific (1951) more movies like this directed by George Waggner featuring John Wayne, Patricia Neal, Ward Bond, Scott Forbes, Philip Carey If one is a subscriber to cable TV's American Movie Classics, it is virtually impossible to avoid seeing the John Wayne starrer Operation Pacific; judging by the frequency of its showings, the film must be someone's very special favorite down at AMC. Set during WW II, the film casts Wayne as Duke Gifford, two-fisted submarine commander. Patricia ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

13 view cover	The Green Berets (1968) more movies like this directed by John Wayne, Ray Kellogg featuring John Wayne, David Janssen, Jim Hutton, Aldo Ray, Raymond St. Jacques The Green Berets is an exciting war film that was lambasted by critics who at the time of its release opposed the war in Vietnam. Wayne's role is similar to his part in The Longest Day (1963), but it was evident to the worldwide public that the same bravado that flew well in World War II crash-landed in 1968 in the wake of a very different war and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.77!

19 view cover	Heartbreak Ridge (1986) more movies like this directed by Clint Eastwood featuring Clint Eastwood, Marsha Mason, Everett McGill, Moses Gunn, Eileen Heckart Having spent much of his directorial career emulating Don Siegel and John Ford, Clint Eastwood borrows a page from the catalogue of Sam Fuller in Heartbreak Ridge.

He returns to his old outfit as a gunnery sergeant, where he runs ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.38!
20 view cover	Hamburger Hill (1987) more movies like this directed by John Irvin featuring Anthony Barrile, Michael Boatman, Don Cheadle, Michael Dolan, Don James Though the anti-war sentiments of Hamburger Hill come through loud and clear, the film is squarely on the side of those courageous, much-maligned Americans who fought and died in Vietnam. Based on a true incident, the story takes place in 1969, as the 101st Airborne Division confronts the Vietcong in a bloody battle over Hill 937 (aka "Hamburger ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.65!
21 view cover	They Were Expendable (1945) more movies like this directed by John Ford featuring Robert Montgomery, John Wayne, Donna Reed, Cameron Mitchell, Ward Bond John Brickley (Robert Montgomery) believes in PT boats, and as a lowly U.S. Navy lieutenant stationed in the Philippines, that makes him a radical thinker.

23 view cover	Sink the Bismarck! (1960) more movies like this directed by Lewis Gilbert featuring Kenneth More, Dana Wynter, Carl Möhner, Laurence Naismith, Geoffrey Keen, Karel Stepanek The Bismarck was the fabled German battleship of World War II. This film traces the "life" of the Bismarck from its launching (courtesy of newsreel footage) through its many battles and narrow escapes, concluding with its far-from-inevitable sinking in the Spring of 1941. Since one couldn't expect a ship to carry a 97-minute movie, the story ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.15!
