Hollywood has done a good job of immortalizing some of the amazing acts of bravery our veterans have displayed. A great way to remember and honor their valor this Memorial Day is to binge on these top movies that salute the men and women who are America's finest.
Here are our top five picks of patriotic flicks to watch this Memorial Day.
The Best Years Of Our Lives
Both lead actors of this 1978 movie won Academy Awards for their performances. Jon Voight played a paraplegic Vietnam War vet and Jane Fonda was the nurse who cared for him, and also has an affair with him, before her husband also returns home with his own traumas from combat.
Fonda, who was vocal at the time with her anti-war sentiments, commissioned the screenplay for Coming Home and reportedly shocked everyone with a film that was touchingly pro-veteran.
