FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS (2006) - Oct. 18, 2006
A really well made but somewhat overlong film about the men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima, focusing on the three men who survived the battle and who were forced to tour the country hawking war bonds. Featuring uniformly excellent performances, particularly Ryan Phillippe and Adam Beach, and expectedly stellar direction from Clint Eastwood. The film managed to strike a good balance between visceral combat scenes, and more dramatic scenes with the three men dealing with their memories of the war back home. ***
