December 7th, 1941 was called the day that would live in infamy by then-President Franklin Roosevelt. There’s little argument over 80 years later that he was right. The event sent the United States into World War II, and in doing so quite possibly changed the destiny of the United States of America. The attack on the U.S. military base at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese military is a defining moment in American history, so it’s of little shock that so many movies have been made about the event and the period that followed.
The first movies that told a story involving Pearl Harbor, even if they weren’t exactly historically accurate, came out only a couple of years after the event, mostly as war propaganda movies. In the years that followed, several films including high-budget blockbusters, have been made surrounding the event. So for the anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day, here are some of the films that have been made about the event and where to find them if you want to watch them in remembrance of the day.
