What have you been watching?

Nah, my partner watches that Womens Murder Club thingy, which is boring if you ask me

 

Just last night I watched "Thirty Seconds over Tokyo" on the Doolittle raid

 

great old film shame about the broom sticks for guns thow

 

couple nights ago, a great John Wayne film.....

Back To Bataan.

 

You gotta believe it! that Back To Bataan is good-even if you do get to see Anthony Quinn and Paul fix, pull the pins from grenades with their teeth - to which John Wayne always got blamed for doing. :ww1ace:

 

Ah the good ol Band of Brother series, from the beginning, well this will be a long night

 

2 great movies last night! I can't remember the names though!?
The first was Harvey, I thinkf that's what it was called, about the big rabbit? The second one was a film with Orson Welles and one of my favorites, Rita Hayworth! A murder mystery kind of movie. Rita is very easy on the eyes!!

 

Saw an old movie for the first time called "Berlin Express"...good post-war flick about a German kidnapped by Nazis and searched for by a group of allies (civilians and military) through the rubble of Hamburg. It was filmed on-site in 1947 and the ruins are amazing...both Hamburg and Berlin.

Berlin Express (1948)

 

Ah yesssss, a James Stewart fan! So am I ;-D

Still watching episodes from the short-lived series: The Flash.

 

If you want to see another great film that used actuial rubble from Berlin, watch: A Time To Love and a Time To Die w/ John Gavin, Lilo Pulver, Erich MAria Remarque (who wrote the books that they made movies from including this movie as well as his better known: All's Quiet on the Western Front.) Dand Jim Hutton, Jock Mahoney, Keenan Wynn, Thayer David and Don Defore.

If you want to see another movie yet, that shows real German City rubble-also watch the excellent movie: Decision Before Dawn w/ Richard Basehart, Oskar Werner, Hans-Christian Blech, Gary Merrill, O.E. Hasse, Til Kiwi and a very young Klaus Kinski, as the Whining Soldier.

There are others that show real rubble in Germany that I can't think of their names of but are excellent movies. I THINK one of them is called: The Search w/ Montgomery Clift. One that features real rubble from Italian Cities is: The Story of G.I. Joe w/ Burgess Meridith and Robert Mitchum.

 

Watched The Train last night good old Burt Lancaster doing a mission impossible with stolen French art.

The Train - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


They don't make them like that anymore, classic.

 

Thanks for the heads up on The Train. Another one to add to my collection.

 

By the way, I saw a movie the other night I haven't seen in a long time - anyone remember The Final Countdown?

 

Here's some pictures of collection I thought I'd share:

 

Yes - I enjoyed it! It's been a long time though since I saw it on television.

Currently, I'm not getting to watch too much as my hubbie has the tv tied up with the countdown to the NHL playoffs!

 

And BOY do I remember it all too well! The World Premier of this movie was at the Cine 1 & 2 Theaters in Kingsville, Texas. I remembered it premiered on a Saturday at around 12 noon. Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, the lady who was on the Yacht that was strafed and blown-up by the Japanese Zeros, and the Naval Historian who "got left behind" in time, all were at this premier. I actually got to shake Kirk Douglas's and Martin Sheens hands. I missed my chance to get autographs because it seemed as if the full population of the City of Kingsville, were at that premier and also were trying to get signatures.

Geeeeeeze, I have not thought about this in many years.

 

Thanks Carl, I'll have to add that one to my list!

As for "The Train", I thought that was a great movie!

 

Hi Scott, quite welcome and, yep, I liked that movie a lot as well as The Train.

Did you know that Burt Lancaster did several of his own stunts in that movie? Yup, one that is easy to tell that it really was him was when the train station-railroad tracks etc, were getting bombed and he slid down a ladder and ran and jumped on a moving train only to be punched off the train; by that Engineer.

Everytime I see this movie, I like it more.

 

I watched the Battle of Midway with Henry Fonda and Charlton Heston last night.

 

Von Ryan's Express was on this morning...always an enjoyable viewing.
