On a Flag Day thick with national occasion — World Cup victories, a presidential birthday, and the country's 250th year — four films are offered as companions to the moment. They span the Revolutionary War, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the modern military, each chosen not merely for entertainment but as vessels of a particular American self-understanding. The recommendation carries a quiet argument: that uncomplicated national pride has grown rare enough to require deliberate preservation, and that cinema can still serve as a mirror in which a country sees itself as it wishes to be seen.
