Kwai is a great movie and I could watch almost anything Sir Alec did on film.
John Adams series. Not a movie, but great anyway.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Patriotism, we were ALLIED fighting the krauts and japs. FWIW: there were a few American actors in the movie.These are US, the others are sort of English. Which side of the Revolution were you on?

love that movie. I liked the part where they borrow the battleship.
I love any WWII movie when the allies kick but. I would add "Sink The Bismarck" to the list.

There are a lot of other war movies that make me feel good about America (like The Longest Day, Patton, Glory, Gettysburg (especially Chamberlain's speech to the "mutineers" of the 2d Maine), We Were Soldiers, etc.) and others like Apollo 13 that also make me proud about what America has done but I'm not sure I'd classify them as patriotic movies.
I am rather curious why someone classified Born on the Fourth of July as a patriotic movie as I felt Oliver Stone spit on America (it remains the only movie I've ever walked out on) -- not arguing, trying to get your viewpoint.
It shows a different POV . SEA war games was not something everyone supported, or agreed with. Myself i enlisted to avoid being drafted. YMMV
