Flags of Our Fathers (2006)
description written by member Zara:
In the winter of 1945, the Battle of Iwo Jima was going down. Clint Eastwood filmed both sides of the story, in this edition we get to see the perspective of the American troops and what they were going through during this time of World War II.

I wasn't too sure about this one, going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was honest, engaging, and not as melodramatic as you might expect.
