GI Film Festival Trailer Wars: 'Operation Route 66' vs. '55 Days'

Before the movie, we see the trailers. And before the GI Film Festival, we fight the Trailer Wars.

Fans of military cinema will have to wait until late May for the festival to select this year's "Best of Fest" honorees, but voting opens now to choose the best trailer among 16 selected by GIFF officials. Head-to-head votes will run throughout April and into May, with the winner announced shortly before the festival kicks off.

Our first matchup pits "Operation Route 66" against "55 Days" -- scroll down to see the trailers and to vote, but don't delay: The vote ends Monday, when a new Trailer Wars matchup is announced.

Vote for your favorite trailer below, and learn more about these films and other festival selections here.
