John Farr: For Memorial Day, the Best War Movies Ever

The Best War Movies Ever

(With Apologies to Dennis Hartley)

Over at HuffPo, John Farr rounds up the best war movies ever. There are some good movies on the list, I suppose, but I have a much shorter list.

I can think of only two great war movies. They are Johnny Got His Gun and Shame.

It would be a very good thing if both films were screened every Memorial Day. But by far, the best way for Americans to celebrate Memorial Day, and to honor our dead, is to publicly call for an end to the dreadful, pointless, wars Obama inherited from his twisted predecessor, George W. Bush - wars that, to his disgrace, Obama has embraced as his own.
