I like what Rich Moore told about that. A good movie is one in which one feels afterwards that one has journeyed with the characters

Rocky films, pride of the marines with john garfield. Saving private ryan, bataan, the fighting 69th.

Road House, Patrick Swayzee, Running Brave, Robby Benson. The Mortal Storm, James Stewart.

Hacksaw Ridge comes to mind, terribly brutal story, but it's hard to find a more clearcut hero than Desmond Doss

The Last Angry Man, Paul Muni. Uncertain Glory, They Died With Their Boots on Errol Flynn.

Above and Beyond, Robert Taylor.

William Friedkin's film from 1977 called "Sorcerer." Holy shit is that a good movie. Basically, it's about 4 guys in a south American craphole country who volunteer to drive 4 trucks full of dynamite through the jungle to an oil well that's on fire so they can blow it up to put it out. It's a damn GREAT movie with Roy Scheider

THis film came out the same day that Star Wars was released which doomed this masterpiece
