16. "Mrs. Miniver" (1942)
World War II Movie Night goes to the flower show with "Mrs. Miniver," our second movie made during the war (1942). Both Churchill and Roosevelt recognized the propaganda value of this Oscar-sweeper, an American production about a British family whose ideal lives are undermined by the encroaching war. Keeping up appearances leads to wondering who will survive as the movie subtly shifts gears, climaxing with a famous, rousing speech.
