Just saw a documentary about Operation Thunderbolt on Situation Critical last night.
The other week, it was the SAS rescue of British soldiers who were captured by insurgents somewhere in Africa.
I've also seen the old series Voyagers and the one episode that I can recall quite vividly is the show they had when they featured Douglas Macarthur. It was so historically inaccurate that I couldn't help but remember that episode. Macarthur was not in Pearl Harbor when the attack occurred. He was sleeping in his penthouse inside the Manila Hotel.

 

History channel's "Dogfights" and "Dogfights of the Future" programs are pretty interesting lately for me. YouTube - The History Channel presents DOG FIGHTS

Thanks Scott, and don't forget for release leter this month-these two movies: Inglorious Bastards and Escape From Fort Bravo. :-D

PS, also trying to get a copy of: The Password Is Courage and A Time To Love and a Time To Die. Both of these are not on DvD-and one I think is not even on VHS?

 

Hi Phantom, sorry I didn't see this to reply to before now.

Yep, Voyagers was a too-short-lived TV series that had an adult (Phenious Bogg) played by now deceased actor: Jon-Eric Hexum and a Teenaged Boy Named: Jeffrey Jones) who went through time correcting mistakes made so that history did not change.

I think this show aired circa 1982? and lasted for twenty episodes. As a matter of fact, I just finished watching a good episode about famed Boxer: Joe Lewie-aka: The Brown Bomber-who had two matches against Max Schmelling. The show took some liberties but, they were pretty factual in actual history.

One thing I really liked about this show then and now, is that during the ending credits, the Teenager (Meeno Peluce) would say if you want to learn more-about whatever their stories had been) that he would say go down to your library-its all in books.

The episode about the Titanic that you saw, actually had some great elements taken from the most excellent movie: "Titanic" which was made in 1953. The parts where you saw the Iceberg-before and after the lookout shouted: "Iceberg-dead ahead" actually came from newsreel footage shot of a huge Iceberg. That film was also used in the opening elements of Titanic. Also, the part where you see the Titanic get ripped open by some underwater ice-was also from the 1953 version of Titanic.

One thing about this show, is that the credit for watching and discovering that I liked this show-only because it was a sort of homework assignment my History Teacher gave to us. I remember had it not been for this teacher and making it actual homework to watch TV, I probably would never have watched the show. )

 

Hi FalconJ/ that was the whole reasoning behind the Voyagers TV series. At first, you would see what was wrong, and it was the jobs of Phenous Bogg and Jeffrey Jones; to help right the situation. Before the main story of the episode was corrected-and with VERY accurate history, whatever the problem was-had to be found out and fixed. Give the series a modern day watching-and you will see what I mean.

 

krieg got a new one in the post from denmark it is called
.... tali Ihantala. 1944
russia in finland .1944
hope it is a good film
cheers krieg

 

Currently watching on DvD: The Three Stooges Collection volume Nr. 2. (Still need to get Vol. Nr.1)

 

Not so much as what I have watched more the case what I am watching right now.

The Bridge at Remagen, I just can not help thinking old Robert Vaughn at the last minute is going to get out his pen and say, "Open channel D."

Apart from that fact and no `A' list actor in sight, not bad film for it's time.

 

I agree with ya on The Bridge AT Remagen-fine film. I think it was Peter Van Eyke's last film. I always thought he made for a good German General. The movie was a Davil L. Wolper Production-and he is famous for making movies with 2nd tier actors-but I liked all the films I have seen that were made by him.

Captain Schmidt: "Ven ve haf ze explosives"

Herr Major (Vaughn) "I know Captain Schmidt, I know."

Still watching The Three Stooges Collection vol. Nr. 2.
