5 Classic American War Movies That Have Aged Like Milk
From the curiously named Battle of the Bulge to the overall reprehensible Birth of a Nation, these once-classic war movies have aged quite terribly.

On this day 58 years ago, John Wayne’s THE GREEN BERETS premiered in New York City. Though initially critically panned and protested for its pro-Vietnam War themes, it was one of the biggest box office hits of Wayne’s late career. #JohnWayne #TheGreenBerets

#TheGreenBerets: John Wayne leads Special Forces in Vietnam.

As war pictures go? Meh. 1st half overly procedural, 2nd half overlong battle w/VC + tensionless covert op.

As propaganda? Mission accomplished! Army is victim AND savior. Kid subplots manipulate emotions.

Yet it still entertains me.

The Green Berets and the Last Gasp of American War Mythology
The unintended takeaway from John Wayne’s The Green Berets (1968) is that the Emperor — or, in this case, the Duke — has no clothes. This movie puts Wayne in the same conversation with Laurence Oli…

Absolutely Nothing Could Salvage John Wayne’s Biggest, Most Controversial Failure — Not Even the White House
The Green Berets was John Wayne's most controversial film, as well as a huge critical failure, but a box office success.
