1968

The following are events that took place in the year 1968.

Events
July
 * 27 – John Wayne's war drama The Green Berets opens in Japan. The movie would quickly through later years earn a plethora of mixed reviews from film critics, peers and opinionators regarding its portrayal and view of the Vietnam War (at that point in history). Later generations would come to accept the film with mixed reviews also, more or less with an attitude of "it's just another John Wayne war movie glorifying America as heroic liberators", while others might suggest the film was worth adding to any movie-watcher's John Wayne film collection.

November
 * 28 – John Wayne rebounds with his second of two films of the year called Hellfighters. For entertainment and drama, the film is received with a better audience acceptance compared to his Green Berets film released six months earlier during that year.

Births
August
 * 27 – Taylor Wayne (in Gateshead, England)
