Flags of Our Fathers (2006)

Cast: Ryan Phillippe (John "Doc" Bradley), Jesse Bradford (Rene Gagnon), Adam Beach (Ira Hayes), John Benjamin Hickey (Keyes Beech)
For complete info, see IMDb's Flags of Our Fathers page.

I'm not normally a fan of war movies. I was one of those people who were thrilled when Saving Private Ryan lost to Shakespeare in Love for best picture of 1998.

Flags of Our Fathers does have some war scenes that lasted a bit too long for me, but the story was amazing, the cast was wonderful, and the sets and costumes were very well done. It's a very moving story and I can't wait to see the follow-up movie Letters from Iwo Jima. Since it was nominated for best picture, it's sure to be even better. If you missed Flags of Our Fathers in theatres, I recommend renting it. Add it to the Netflix list now.

Grade: B+
