Sands of Iwo Jima

Wayne plays: A hard-nosed marine sergeant in charge of raw and ragtag recruits.
Why it's classic: Wayne received a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role as Sergeant Stryker. He embodied the ultimate marine disciplinarian: tough, no-nonsense, and (at times) brutal toward his men.
Interesting fact: The three surviving veterans from the real-life flag raising on Mount Suribachi appear in the movie. They reenact the flag raising, using the actual flag they hoisted in the famously photographed moment.

Sands of Iwo Jima, Richard Jaeckel, John Wayne, 1949.
