The Sand Pebbles (1966) Steve McQueen, Candice Bergen, Richard Crenna. Directed by Robert Wise. One of those angsty '60's movies about a Yangtze River gunboat in the 1920's. Stays with you.

The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1953) William Holden, Grace Kelly, Mickey Rooney. Directed by Mark Robson. Korean War Navy pilots, the soapiness one expects from the decade it was made, and the rare downer ending that feels honest.
