RASPBERRY RIPPLE
BT Rep: +19
I'll take your recommendation as high praise. For some reason, I have not been able to get myself excited about watching any movies over the past couple years involving WWII as a backdrop*. 1970's are also becoming too cliche'd. Surely, there are important, good stories to be told- they just aren't currently enticing.Originally Posted by Stehle
The Monuments Men was awesome!
*My Way (2011 film) was one notable, significantly different (and truly remarkable) exception.

Just snagged a BluRay copy of it and will give it a whirl tonight. Thank you for your suggestion!
(I haven't got real excited WWII'ish since "Band of Brothers" ...or finding out my father had a "TOP SECRET" classification back in '47 Roswell, New Mexico.)

My Way is a barrage on the senses, as well as a compelling story of perseverance. Turn the surround sound up, and enjoy!Just snagged a BluRay copy of it and will give it a whirl tonight. Thank you for your suggestion!

Let me guess, you were born 9 months after your father began working at Roswell.
Dallas Buyers Club....Mathew McConaughey...Jenifer Garner..Imbd rating @ 8.0 is an excellent rating...few movies are rated this high...
You'll enjoy...true story...

How does Frank Sinatra figure into it?
Or maybe Paul Anka?

Per your first recommendation of it, I grabbed a copy in 2012. It's still sitting unwatched in my XBMC because I have not yet been able to get anyone to watch it with me. I just can't get excited to watch movies, especially alone. All of my movie watching has been chaperoned.My Way is a barrage on the senses, as well as a compelling story of perseverance.

It's different for television because there's something about the longevity of a series that can urge me to get invested without having to share the experience.

No... I will say only this about that... After my father passed away a few years ago at the healthy age of 90 my older brother and I had to go through his papers to in order to settle his affairs... at this time we found stamped original documentation including his clearances as well as other things explaining many mysteries that had plagued and puzzled us as children. Only my older brother was born soon after that incident... Whenever we watched a TV program focusing on a Jesse Marcel interview we just looked up at dad when he said, "Yeah... we had a lot of extra air traffic there back then." He then would just grin, smile and go back to reading his newspaper.Let me guess, you were born 9 months after your father began working at Roswell...or finding out my father had a "TOP SECRET" classification back in '47 Roswell, New Mexico.)
Little did we know until we saw all those papers.
('nuff said.)

Operation Dumbo Drop. You'll cry after you watch the movie. Not because it's a sad movie, just why did this movie ever get made?
