Happy Memorial Day! (+ 6 Movies in Honor of the Day)

I would like to give thanks to all who have served and lost their lives. Wars are something that should only happen when necessary because even when you win there are still so many losses. I would also like to give thanks to those who are currently serving or who have served.

In honor of Memorial Day, I wanted to put together a list of movies that show characters fighting for something. From an alien attack in Battle: Los Angeles to fighting against Nazis in Captain America: The First Avenger these movies show the dedication and bravery to fight for either a change or a better world or to fix a colossal mistake such as in Kong: Skull Island where the military ventured some where they should have never gone.

My Memorial Day movie list: 

- Battle: Los Angeles
- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
- Kong: Skull Island
- Wonder Woman
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2
- Captain America: The First Avenger



Battle: Los Angeles


Description:

For many years, humans have reported various UFO sightings around the world, fueling speculation about the existence of life on other worlds. In 2011, mankind learns the truth the hard way when alien invaders attack. One by one, the world's great cities fall, leaving Los Angeles as the battleground for humanity's last stand. It's up to a Marine staff sergeant and his platoon to draw a line in the sand against a powerful enemy unlike any previously encountered.







Rogue One: A Star Wars Story


Description:

From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars stand-alone films – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.

Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
