The kind of movie that makes you want to open a bottle of wine, listen to Lana del Rey and cry in the bathtub

- Meg likedFrom Here to Eternity
Best Picture Oscar winner 1954 (26th Academy Awards) My Rating: 7/10 Nominated for 13 Oscarโs and won 8. Star studded cast. Real footage was shown in the film from Pearl Harbor Day on Dec 7, 1941. Itโs not one of my fave war movies but all in all it was good.

Contemporary audiences may not see why, even in its toned-down simplification of the novel, From Here to Eternity was the most daring movie of 1953, but it remains an acting bonanza.

From Here to Eternity remains, half a century later, a singular cinematic experience, one of the landmarks of American film.
