One of my top 10 favorite movies

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 1999)

Although I am not a world war II vet., I am a veteran of the Vietnam War era. "The Best Years of Our Lives," is a film i believe strikes a cord with any returning vet of any conflict. My favorite scene is when Al, Homer and Fred are in the nose of the B17 on their way home watching the landscape unroll beneath them. Their expressions are all the dialog necessary to convey the mixed emotions these three have about returning home. It is to me, the most powerful and moving scene of many in this fine film. To those of us who have been there no words are needed, just look at the faces of those three in that scene, you will know what I mean.
