Are there any other movies about this seemingly forgotten conflict?

"Heartbreak Ridge" with Clint Eastwood. The last 1/4 of the movie or so had to do with Panama. Great movie.

Actually that was Grenada.

You're right. I don't think there was much on the Panama conflict. I was active duty then and it was almost a blink before it was over.

I was in Panama before, during and after the invasion.

You're right, it seems like everyone forgot about it, especially when Desert Shield/Storm ramped up a few months later.

Recently I searched some sites for military hats/shirts etc about Just Cause and found that Grenada and Panama just don't get remembered.

Neither this movie, or Heartbreak Ridge are about the Panamanian invasion. There was no large scale military action happening during this movie, and Heartbreak Ridge ended with the invasion of Grenada. The Panamanian invasion hadn't even taken place when it came out.

To my knowledge there is no movie about Panama, save documentaries.

propaganda=on IMDB, apparently any movie with Americans as the good guys

Theres a few scenes in the movie Noriega: God's Favorite that cover the 1989 - 1990 invasion of Panama.
