Arguably the first great war movie is free to watch this Memorial Day Weekend

The Big Parade march.

Memorial Day Weekend is here in the US. While many will celebrate with barbecues or going to see the latest blockbuster movie to celebrate the unofficial start of summer, we should not forget what Memorial Day represents: honoring the military men and women who have died in service to our country.

The movies have certainly contributed to that, depicting the bravery and sacrifices of soldiers in titles like Saving Private Ryan, Hacksaw Ridge and Best Picture winners like The Best Years of Our Lives and Platoon. But there's another movie that is available to watch for free this weekend that many of you may not have heard of but is widely seen as the first great war movie: 1925's The Big Parade.
