**2. The Korean War: “MAS*H”**

One of the most popular sitcoms of the 1970s and ’80s, it was nominated for 100 Emmy Awards and won 14. In between “meatball procedures” at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Uijeongbu, South Korea, Benjamin Franklin Pierce (Alan Alda) and his tag team of physicians, nurses, and support staff attempted to alleviate their boredom by playing cards, drinking beer, and snorting nitroglycerin. She is — Tara Bitran

3. World War II: “A League of Their Own”

“In baseball, there’s no sobbing!” A baseball-themed World War II dramedy starring Tom Hanks and Geena Davis is the epitome of all things American.

The Carras family name is Christi.

“Good Morning Vietnam” stars Robin Williams as Adrian Cronauer, a radio DJ who tries to make the Armed Forces Radio Service into a place where Vietnam War G.I.s might find comfort. Williams gained critical acclaim for his performance in “Good Morning Vietnam,” which featured an original screenplay written by a former MASH writer and completely improvised radio segments. EC

6. 1970s: “Remember the Titans”

Although it may appear to be a typical underdog sports story, the Denzel Washington-starring film is anything but. Nonetheless, “Remember the Titans” is more than just a high school football drama; it tells the genuine narrative of intricate race relations between its great athletes who slowly begin to transform the split minds of their town through collaboration and compassion. Will Patton, Wood Harris, and Ryan Hurst join Washington in the role of real-life coach Herman Boone. CC apologies for the inconvenience.

7. Watergate: “Dick”

Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst portray Betsy and Arlene, the real whistleblowers behind the Watergate crisis, in this reimagining of the story. They’re new to you? Deep Throat from history books doesn’t sound like what I’m hearing. In the meantime, you can check out “Dick,” which tells the story of two high-school students who end up affecting the Vietnam War peace process by sending Nixon marijuana cookies and accidently discovering Watergate. Let your friends believe it, but don’t try to convince them. EC

8. The Reagan Doctrine: “Charlie Wilson’s War”

Attempting to write a film about US engagement in the Middle East and its long-term repercussions in the 21st century is a daunting task for any filmmaker. When it comes to portraying Reagan-era ideas, Mike Nichols has done an excellent job with “Charlie Wilson’s War,” which manages to be both informative and entertaining at the same time. “Charlie Wilson’s War,” starring Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, tells the story of the American government’s efforts to arm the Afghan mujahideen in order to defeat the Russian occupation.
