Just last night I caught Sands of Iwo Jima, and Flying Tigers, both great war films from the Duke

I too watched Letters From Iwo Jima. Clint Eastwood did a great job of Directing - as is usual with his films.

Last night, I first saw: The Wild Geese w/ Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris, Hardy Kruger, Jack Watson, Stewart Granger and Percy Herbert. Then I stayed up late just to watch Bogie and Van Johnson in: The Caine Mutiny.

Both are excellent movies with excellent casts.

Was this on TV, Carl? I have'nt seen Wild Geese in years. Richard Burton is one of my favorite WWII actors.

I watched The Train w/Burt Lancaster yesterday.

Hi FramerT, nope, I watched it on DvD which I bought from: DeepDiscount.com - DVDs, Blu-ray, HD DVD, CDs, Books, Video Games and more last year for about $10 bucks. As far as I know, they are still selling the DvD.

I too liked: The Train. Everytime I rewatch it, I like it even more.

Last night I watched: Dunkirk, again. In case I have not run-it-into-the-ground-yet, it is an excellent movie with: Sir John Mills, Lord Richard Attenborough and Bernard Lee.

Watched the 1960 version of the film "Swiss Family Robinson". When I was a kid, this was one of my favourite films and when I saw the DVD at a flea-market for $8, I had to buy it. I love it so much.

Is this the one with Sir John Mills and James MacArthur in it? If so, I too like this one very much.

PS, forgot to mention that I watched that new Knight Rider movie--not bad-not bad at all. And this is coming from someone who hates most of the programming that's currently on TV these days. Also stayed up late last night to catch James F. Cagney in: White Heat." Excellent movie.

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...

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.

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