    "Saints and Soldiers" is pretty good; especially when you figure out the vast majority of extras and equipment are compliments of reenactors.

    Hmmm, you seem to like Errol Flynn. Then you should see the movie that made him an overnight Hollywood star, Captain Blood.

    Has anone here caught the new show on the History chanel, Battlefield 360. I thought it pretty good. It seemed to me that it followed "The Big E" by Edward Stafford fairly closley.

    Hi Falcon, yep, I am a big Flynn fan. I do have Captain Blood on DvD which came as part of the Errol Flynn Signature Collection 1, and I have on order: The Errol Flynn Signature Collection Nr.2.

    Captain Blood also stars another favorite of mine-and who always plays the "bad guy" and he is: Basil Rathbone. BTW, Basil Rathbone also stars with Flynn in: Dawn Patrol, which is another favorite of mine-and is in teh Flynn Sig Col Nr.2.

    I am still awaiting for them to release: Edge of Darkness (which is not often shown on TV), in which Flynn is the leader of a Norwegian Resistance group and also Desperate Journey which also starred: Ronald Reagan, Alan Hale Sr, Arthur Kennedy & Raymond Massey.

    Captain Blood came with The Seahawk (another excellent Flynn Pirate film) The Lives of Elizabeth Essex w/ Alan Hale Sr and Betty Davis, They Died With Their Boots On and Dodge City.

    Errol Flynn was not only good at being a Swashbuckler but also in funny roles. I can't think of the names off-hand but, he did one movie that involved him playing with toy electrical trains, in order to win over the father of a girl that he wanted to woo.

    Forgot to mention, that I watched: Alvarez Kelly w/ Richard Widmark and William Holden-which is about the Confederates rustling a large herd of Cattle from the Yankees, and they actually pull it off and "win one" for a change. Also, just watched: The Adv/of Marco Polo w/ Gary Cooper, Alan Hale Sr, and Basil Rathbone (as the villain-as usual)

    For any of you DC Comicbook fans, I also picked up: The Justice League, the New Frontier, movie on DvD. It did a good job of portraying the mindset of the USA during the McCarthy era-in the 1950's. Not great but, not bad.

    And tonight, I get to start watching: The Flash TV Series-all 22 episodes.

    PS, continuing with Errol Flynn, did you know that before he was an actor, he also was an Author? One of the two books he wrote is called: "Beams End."
