Huffington Post     First Posted: 3/18/10   Updated: 5/25/11

In honor of Veterans Day, we're taking a look at some classic war films that best define the heroism, horrors, camaraderie, and honor you find in war. Some of the films make political statements, others zero in on the soldiers, and they all make sure we never forget the sacrifices made by our fighting men and women. Let us know in the comments about any of your favorites that we missed. Happy Veterans Day to all.

"Apocalypse Now"
 
Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam War epic uses stunning sound and visuals to paint an unsettling portrait of both the war and man's inner darkness.
