1. Saving Private Ryan

We’re hoping we don’t have to tell you this, but Saving Private Ryan is the number one war movie of all time. It may be one of the most watching movies on our list.

So, if you haven’t seen it, well, you better go watch it right now, because there’s really no excuse. Otherwise, we can’t really call you American.

3. Fury

Okay, not only is this movie good, but it’s kind of funny, considering the topic. Yes, there are some pretty moving scenes in it, but that just makes is so much better. If you’re looking for a movie that reminds you why we hate the Nazis, then this is a must-see. Also, who doesn’t like Brad Pitt—in case you really needed another reason to see this film.

4. We Were Soldiers

We Were Soldiers, another fantastic movie about our nation’s heroes. Not only does it depict what our Soldiers have gone through to protect you and yours, but it shows us what that service does to their family members. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to serve. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to know, care for, and love a Soldier, then this movie is for you. And even if you haven’t wondered, it’s still an excellent movie. Also, it’s based on a true story.

Not a movie, but a mini-series. Still, we like it so much we’re putting it as an honorable mention: Band of Brothers.  Again, your patriotism will be in question if you haven’t seen this one. Also, you’re just really missing out.
