When It Comes to Great War Movies Like Patton and Midway, Great Performances Pave the Way

What makes a war movie truly unforgettable? Judging from AMC's online list of War Movies You'll Never Forget, an amazing performance from the lead actor is key. Imagine Patton without George C. Scott, Midway without Charlton Heston or Apocalypse Now Redux without Martin Sheen (or without Marlon Brando for that matter). It's the difference between a great drama and a great epic! You can catch all three masterpieces -- as well as other memorable war pics like Good Morning, Vietnam with an Oscar-nominated turn by Robin Williams -- this Mon., Nov. 12 as part of AMC's Best Vets Marathon starting at 9AM/8c.
