The Best Years of Our Lives (alias Glory for Me dan Home Again) adalah sebuah film drama Amerika 1946 garapan William Wyler dan dibintangi oleh Myrna Loy, Fredric March, Dana Andrews, Teresa Wright, Virginia Mayo, dan Harold Russell. Film tersebut berkisah tentang tiga perwira AS yang menjalani kehidupan sipil setelah pulang kampung dari Perang Dunia II. Samuel Goldwyn terinspirasi untuk membuat sebuah film entang para veteran setelah membaca sebuah artikel tertanggal 7 Agustus 1944 dalam majalah Time tentang kesulitan yang dialami oleh pria yang kembali ke kehidupan sipil. Goldwyn mengundang bekas koresponden perang MacKinlay Kantor untuk menulis skenarionya. Karyanya mula-mula diterbitkan sebagai sebuah novella, Glory for Me, yang Kantor tulis dalam ayat kosong.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] Robert E. Sherwood kemudian mengadaptasi novella tersebut menjadi sebuah permainan latar.^[7]

Sherwood), dan Musik Asli Terbaik (Hugo Friedhofer).^[8] Selain kesuksesan kritisnya, film tersebut cepat meraih kesuksesan komersial besar setelah dirilis. Film tersebut menjadi film berkeuntungan tertinggi dan film paling banyak ditonton di Amerika Serikat dan Inggris sejak perilisan Gone with the Wind, terjual sekitar 55 kita tiket di Amerika Serikat a^[9] yang sebanding dengan keuntungannya yang sejumlah $23,650,000.^[10] Film tersebut masih menjadi film paling banyak ditonton keenam sepanjang masa di Inggris, dengan lebih dari 20 juta tiket terjual.^[11] Ini menjadi salah satu angka penonton tertinggi sepanjang masa, dengan penjualan tiket mencapai $20.4 juta.^[12]
