What is the best film ever made about the U.S. military?
What is the best film ever made about the U.S. military?
STEVE BILLINGSLEY, Fairborn: “It would be ‘Saving Private Ryan’ and ‘Glory,’ the Civil War movie.”
ALAKYA MATHANKERI, Kettering: “’Pearl Harbor.’ It just hit home because of the stuff we saw when we were in Hawaii. It was emotional, because the events took place in the States.”
LYNN SCHUTTE, Miamisburg: “’Patton.’ For the story line, and because George C. Scott was a great actor. It showed the life of a general and his shortcomings, as well as his attributes.”
JUDY HUDSON, Kettering: “PT 109,’ about Jack Kennedy.”
SAM JACKSON, Dayton: “Two jump to mind: ‘The Thin Red Line’ or ‘Saving Private Ryan.’”
RAY PETRUSCH, Riverside: “’Saving Private Ryan.’ It’s truthful and realistic.”
DAIMON PANDJAITAN, Kettering: “’Saving Private Ryan.’ It shows how we were back in the day, during World War II. It’s very detailed, with a real-life perspective.”
