Movie: The Best Years of Our Lives Type: classic Original Release Date: 1946 Rating: NR Starring: Myrna Loy, Fredric March, Dana Andrews, Harold Russell Directed by: William Wyler

Synopsis:
This movie is about returning World War II veterans and the problems they face as they re-enter civilian life. A poignant, realistic look at life after war -- both for the soldiers and those they left behind.

I would recommend this movie!

Why?
As the war in Iraq seems to be nearing an end, and soldiers come home, this undeservedly forgotten movie (winner of 7 Academy Awards) is still very relevant in our time.

I confess I haven't watched this movie for years, but what prompted me to re-examine it is a very good article called "Storming the Home Front" in the March 2003 Atlantic Monthly.
