The birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps is coming up and I wanted to recognize them by mentioning a few films I enjoy that feature Marines:
PRIDE OF THE MARINES (1945)
MISS SADIE THOMPSON (1953)
NONE BUT THE BRAVE (1965)

I'd like to add a movie with a very fitting title to your list: Salute to the Marines (1943) w/ Wallace Beery and Fay Bainter. Another movie I first "saw" on The Lux Radio Theatre (1934 - 1955) before I caught the real thing.

  A Few Good Men (Rob Reiner, 1992)
Military lawyer Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee defends Marines accused of murder. They contend they were acting under orders.
Been waiting for years to watch this one. Now there's an occasion (thanks, TB!). Free on tubi.

Last night I watched an RKO action film called THE MARINES FLY HIGH (1940). In it, Richard Dix and Chester Morris play men of the USMC, both of them vying for the attention of Lucille Ball. The outdoor flying sequences were quite good.
