Blake- N @PBSAniDom Jun 5, 2026 Sergeant York is a great classic war film that remains engaging decades after its release. Even by modern standards, the movie tells its story with confidence, balancing drama, character development, and historical interest in a way that keeps the audience invested. One of the film's biggest strengths is its lead performance, which brings warmth and authenticity to the character. The storytelling is straightforward but effective, allowing the emotional moments and personal journey to have a lasting impact. The film also does an excellent job creating a sense of time and place. Overall, Sergeant York is a well-crafted and memorable classic that has earned its reputation. Its strong performances, compelling story, and timeless themes make it a rewarding watch for fans of older cinema. I'd rate it a 8/10. See more

Chris B @Papa13070 Mar 30, 2026 I love this movie. It is not just about war, but about a man who struggled against impossible odds to just be a good man and make a living. Gary Cooper won a golden statue for his portrayal of Alvin York. He made this beloved character from the hills come alive in a away that I don't believe anyone else could. I feel as if I know York personally after seeing this film. But it wasn't just Cooper that made this film what it was. Walter Brennon, with three Oscars to his name at the time, played what is probably his best role as the simple preacher. Margaret Wycherly as Mother York was equally good as a simple woman who tried to guide her family. These were simple people and their goodness came through in this movie. Howard Hawks (Rio Bravo, Red River) was at his directorial zenith with this film. It was a masterpiece. Everything was just top notch: sound, cinematography, score, art direction; it was just a beautiful work of art. Highly Recommended!!! See more

Leaburn O @RT35452347 Jun 22, 2023 Rip roaring stuff about a ridiculously simple minded good egg soldier who was an American hero. Propaganda puff piece at a time of war. It's all a bit too simple but he's a jolly good fellow and the good vibes carry us through quite easily. See more
