A grandfather reluctantly tells his grandson about his service in WWII. The grandson later becomes a soldier himself, serving in the Middle East, and reflects back on his grandfather’s words and experiences. This movie is a balanced and respectful treatment of military service appropriate for Memorial Day viewing.
Easter is about life and death, faith and doubt, hope and despair. For Easter and Holy Week viewing, I suggest this thought-provoking movie superbly performed by two truly great actors, Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones.
For Valentine’s Day viewing, I suggest this romantic drama based on the real-life love story between C.S. Lewis and Joy Gresham.
A Christmas movie that captures the best sentiments surrounding the holiday. Based on the unofficial Christmas truce that took place on the Western Front during WWI.
