While not strictly a "war movie" newt, the title of that classic and 1946 Best Picture Oscar winning movie is "The Best Years Of Our Lives", which happens to be one of my favorite films of any genre.

And to add another war movie to the list which I haven't seen mentioned yet here, I'll add 1945's "The Story of G.I. Joe", starring Robert Mitchum and Burgess Meredith, the latter who plays famed WWII war correspondent Ernie Pyle.

(if anyone here has never seen these two films, I'll suggest you watch for them to come around on TCM...you will not be disappointed)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
