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.Quote:

Just snagged a BluRay copy of it and will give it a whirl tonight. Thank you for your suggestion! :)Quote:

My Way is a barrage on the senses, as well as a compelling story of perseverance. Turn the surround sound up, and enjoy!Quote:

Let me guess, you were born 9 months after your father began working at Roswell. :whistling
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Big Ass Spider
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?
