The 24 military films and documentaries being shown at the Twentynine Palms Military Film Festival May 13 through May 15 will include some of the best war movies ever produced, from patriotic classics such as “Flags of our Fathers,” “Casablanca,” “Jarhead,” “A Few Good Men,” “Good Morning Vietnam,” “The Killing Fields,” and “Black Hawk Down” to original documentaries such as the French/Canadian story of World War I “Apocalypse World War I,” and “Restrepo,” about U.S. troops in Afghanistan. The line-up is heavy on foreign films, such as the German “Das Boot,” the British “When the Wind Blows,” and “How I Won the War,” and Russia’s “Battalion” and “Battle for Sevastapol.” The movies will be shown at Smith’s Ranch drive-in theater, Smith’s Ranch auditorium, the Twentynine Palms Junior High School, and Knott Sky Park. Passes for the festival range from $25 to $70 and can be purchased at the Twentynine Palms Visitor Center or at a link in this story at z1077fm.com.
