A Bridge Too Far (I'm an old paratrooper, so it hits home).
12 Strong (when the Special Forces A-Team went into Afghanistan early on).
Those are two that have been missed so far. They are both worth watching.
A Bridge Too Far was an excellent movie. Unfortunately it shows how “Monty” and the British Generals totally screwed up a military operation based upon their own hubris and narcissism. Too many allied soldiers died in that futile attempt. Another reason why Patton was not too fond of “Monty”. Yeah Patton wasn't narcissistic ...
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Unreal great movie. James Wood. Joseph Wambaugh had a lot of good novels. He's basically the Clancy of cop stuff. The Choir Boys is a must read if you like that kind of stuff. Lots more, but you gotta know more than the average bear to appreciate some of them. Lines and Shadows was one of my favorites,but it's a little too real for most people to accept. It's a true novel about UC work on the San Diego/ Tijuana border 50 years ago.

I dont see how they can even relate to folks who had a normal life. They gave theirs away to make the scum pay. Unreal and unsung heros.

Libs hate to admit it though. That's the way liberals feel about most of the movies written by and directed byJohn Milius. Evil gun owner, hunter and shooter, not a good communist, and even a Board Member with the NRA. That makes him and his movies baaaad! FWIW. L.W.

"Retch" of Pat McManus fame. May not be a movie, but I've sure visualized a lot of his antics!

Libs hate to admit it though. Dawn Wells? Dawn Wells starred in a Western named Winter Hawk. The settlers were on a wagon train, it got stranded as I recall. There was a local tribe of wild Indians and the chief was Winter Hawk. At any rate, at the end, Dawn rode off into the sunset on the back of the war pony with Indian chief Winter Hawk! The Indian got the girl! They used to play it on tv about once every four months, haven't seen it in quite a while.

13 Hours, the Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

You will remember a curve of your wagon track in the grass of the plain like the features of a friend."
