What have you been watching?

Yes that's right. The one with Sir John Mills and James MacArthur. I LOVED that film when I was a kid, and I just HAD to buy it and watch it...oh so many happy memories...

 

I watched D-Day to Berlin from BBC's WWII series yesterday and I really liked it; I would have bought the entire series but it was like $150 or so.

 

I watched "The Gathering Storm" (2002) today. Albert Finney is wonderful as Sir Winston Churchill. And the ending is just amazing. I like how when the car drives across Westminster Bridge, you can see all the rain and the dark storm-clouds everywhere, telling of the hard times ahead - and all the windows taped over and sandbags stacked u up against the buildings and soldiers standing guard at the doors...

 

might have a look see at one called . the purple plain . tonight haven't
seen it for quight a wile mw

 

Thanks for the confirm ;-)) It's my favorite of all the Swiss Family Robinson movies. Also, this version was the one that spawned a TV series (some years later) of the same name. Also, did you know that Japanese actor: Sessuye Hayakawa (SP?) or either Toshiro Mifune, was the leader of the bandit/pirates who attacked the: Swiss Family Robinson. I always did like both of those Japanese actors, and whichever it was who was in this movie, did a usual excellent job of acting. I don't have it yet but are planning on buying it as soon as I can think about doing so.

Last night, just started watching Season 1 of: The Fall Guy, again just for the heck of it.

 

a early one tonight watching .atlantic conyoy .....

 

"Search for sunken shipwrecks" on the Military channel. This latest one was about the USS Indianapolis. They never found it.

 

The Hellfighters w/ Duke, Bruce Cabot, Jay C. Flippen and Jim Hutton. Twas on this morning on AMC.

 

i watched the .dirty dozen . last night a change to see the old ones again
... mark

 

has anyone ever seen one called . the moon is down ..??

 

I saw this again for the second time last weekend. I thought it was excellent! When it ended, I wished that there had been a sequel done that portrayed Churchill now that so much more information is available regarding why some decisions were made...

Yesterday, I caught part of "Yanks" and tried to give it another watch to see if I'd misjudged it previously. Nope. Based on what I caught again, it seemed insulting to everyone and I just changed channels.

I purchased "The Thin Red Line" about 10 days ago. I've not had a chance to watch it yet, but I found out that if I want to teach my step-son about World War II, the best way is to buy a new DVD on the war and leave it out in the open while still in the plastic. He's certain to pick it up, watch it on his computer, and then return it to me! One of these days we'll probably start discuss it, and then he'll start running rings around me. (Like many on this forum is 20 - 21 in a couple of days).

MacRusk, I totally agree. I was like...

So, he goes into the building, chats to the guard and...that's it?

I WANTED MORE!!! :'(

 

might start watching again the series called the gallant men . i like this series....:gatlinggun:

 

I recall that show but I don't recall the plots or cast. Was the show as good as Combat ? I love those shows !

 

combat wos a good series but i think . the gallant men. series wos a little
better what could i say better put together ??

 

Hi TA, I have a good friend in Washington who watched the series when it was originally aired and in re-run who thought that COMBAT beat that series. Now had The Gallant Men been as popular as COMBAT, no telling. I do know that there is a VHS tape that was out years ago that had a few Gallant Men episodes put together as a movie. If im not mistaken, I THINK James Drury was in that series and as their Sergeant? Also, if I recall, I think they were the 3rd Infantry Division patch on their helmets and uniforms. I only saw that tape once and thought what was on it was good-but that again was at least 20 years ago when I saw it. :-(

 

This morning on TCM, I watched two Charles Starrett (the Durango Kid) Westerns one of which was titled: "Both Barrels Blazing-which I thought was nutty because the Durango Kid only carried one six gun. Anyway, they were very good "B" westerns which also had Dub Taylor (as the town fool) and a few other very well-known character actors such as: Glenn Strange. The first of the two Durango Kid westerns featured: Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. The music in both films was excellent.

After that, I saw part of Major Dundee-which is anothar favorite western of mine and was directed by Sam Peckinpah-the fellow who also gave to us: Cross of Iron. Anyway, TCM was playing the version of Major Dundee with the new soundtrack that was made for it when they restored that film-which I also thought that it really sucked some powerful Prune Pits.

 

I watched 'Downfall' again. As I rewatch movies, I tend to pay attention to other things in the movie. This time, I focused on Bormann and noticed that he did not say a whole lot in this movie. They almost make him out to be timid.
