The Best Years of Our Lives
Three WWII vets return home to try to pick up the threads of their lives. A film that represented a large chunk of American society and helped it readjust to the modern postwar ambience is now considered an American classic. Supporting actor Russell, an actual veteran, holds a record for winning two Oscars for a single role. In addition to his Best Supporting Actor award, Russell was given a special Oscar for bringing hope and courage to fellow veterans. Based on the novella by MacKinlay Kantor. Remade for TV as "Returning Home" in 1975.

This movie was really cool because it showed you the realaties a man coming back from the war would have to face. The good and bad. We sometimes focuss on just the good of seeing your family finally but what about those guys who had family that didnt want to see them???
