The Longest Day (1962)

John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Red Buttons, Sean Connery, Richard Burton, among many others, star in this film reenacting the attack on Omaha Beach France.  This is your typical US won the war movie, which was over-simplified, but surprisingly I liked it.

Please do not get me wrong, I understand the amount of sacrifice that was made that day on the beaches.  I did not like how the film ended happy, but it was well made and fairly well acted for the time period.  4 stars for me, but it is a very simplistic view of the whole day.
