Happy November, everybody. It's officially the holiday season now, but as usual, there are not enough great Thanksgiving movies to fill out a top ten, so we celebrate Veteran's Day this month with war movies commemorating the wars from the 20th century from which we still have veterans who fought. We have movies about WWII (The Thin Red Line, Schindler's List, Mrs. Miniver and Army of Shadows), Korea (Mash), Vietnam (Apocalypse Now, Platoon) and Iraq (The Hurt Locker), among others. I try to throw in a variety of styles, so even though these are all war movies, a lot of them vary drastically in tone, humor (Inglorious Basterds is outright historical revisionism, as we know), so that it doesn't feel at all like any of them are the same movie. Celebrate veterans in November and go to our Monthly Movie Page to read more about the theme, and click here for our full list of ten great wartime films, complete with original trailers. Happy Movie Watching, everyone.
