Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Oh...I just remembered the most patriotic scene ever in a movie. Jamie Lee Curtis in "True Lies" doing her dance in the hotel room while trying to plant a bug. God bless America!

Well, if we're going to nominate mini-series, I'll add From the Earth to the Moon.
-Not sure if it counts, but the PBS series directed by Ken Burns "The National Parks: America's Best Idea", on the National Parks is downright amazing in terms of production value, it's really well done.
Dr. Strangelove?
I have that doc. It just reminds me that people are still pigs. They trashed Yosemite back then and they are still trashing it today.Originally Posted by hatidua
Now, the Civil War, WWII and The Pacific are three docs I can't get through without the allergies hitting me. Close second for Baseball. Guess these are where I find the patriotism.

Good call.

Hmmm...not sure if military = "patriotic" per se but I'd say "Gardens of Stone" is certainly one of my favorite military movies, with "Black Hawk Down" being a close second.
"The Patriot" I call a swing and a miss. It always pisses me off when Hollywood takes a great, great story and then turns it into a formulaic Hollywood BS-fest. The story of Daniel Morgan, Nathaneal Greene, Francis Marion, Banastre Tarleton and the battles in the Carolinas in the latter part of the Revolutionary War is a great story that Mel Gibson turned into a silly soap opera.
Ditto for "We Were Soldiers" which was a great book and an awful movie.
