"Why We Fight" is so pertinent to current foreign affairs issues and is a great piece of politically incorrect filmaking. Can you imagine Hollywood making a war movie about Iraq with a boys' chorus singing "Onward Christian Soldiers"?
The ones that always made my hair stand up were the Cold War nuclear movies since I was acutely aware that I was the target. "Fail Safe" was scary as was "The Morning After".
Loved "Dr. Strangelove" -
"There will be no fighting in the war room!"
For a real WWII heartbreaker, "Mrs. Miniver"
For a Civil War movie, "Glory."
"Rough Riders" was interesting for a Ted Turner cable movie.
