this guy seems to be in all the good stuff...even though he's not favorite actor, this movie does have my favorite actor in it. you guessed it kendrick: Kiefer Sutherland. JACK BAUER RULES!!!! about the movie i had my doubts, cause most military movies seem to be all the same but this movie will stand out as one of the best, cause it deals with not just the military...but standing up for what's right. when i watched this i kind of lost track this was a military movie (JAG).

favorite quotes: "So this is what a court room looks like."
can't remember exactly what jack says but "faggoty white uniform" hahahahaha

This movie is great. I am 25 and I love it and I loved it when I was 8 and it came out... looking at WWII through the eyes of a child is exciting in a way. Its one of those rare war movies that doesn't center around soldiers but a normal family instead.

This is my favorite movie ever. As a child i would sit and watch it almost every week. I didnt own it on VHS, but taped off the TV. As i got older as you can imagine, the tape did not last. I was happy to be able to get it on VHS, and i think this is a movie everyone must see, young and old!!!

.The Right Stuff (Two-Disc Special Edition)
City Travel Guides > DVD > Military and War
starring: Mary Apick, Kathy Baker, Scott Beach, Robert Beer, Veronica Cartwright
directed by: Philip Kaufman

Hollywood has mostly ignored one of the most dramatic events of the modern age, the space program. It's been willing to lavish millions on sci-fi and fantasy but has been meager in detailing the real drama. Tom Wolfe's marvelous book has been captured in this film with the same blend of irony, whimsy, humor and real drama.
The astronauts were accidental heroes, men who never expected to be elevated to such a public Olympus. They were never what the PR machine promoted but they got the job done and eventually earned the heroic status they were automatically granted by the propaganda machine of the time.
An interesting film that genuinely manages to distill out the essence of the 'right stuff.'

This movie is great. A good story, great acting, lots of adventure and comedy, and some touching moments of reflection. Note: There was a real Air America type of thing during the Vietnam war, but this is just a fun and interesting movie. Some interesting social commentary as well.

.To Be or Not to Be
City Travel Guides > DVD > Military and War
starring: Lionel Atwill, Paul Barrett, Jack Benny, Sven Hugo Borg, Felix Bressart
directed by: Ernst Lubitsch

March 01, 2005
Too bad this movie isn't better known than the weak Mel Brooks remake of the same name. Jack Benny as that great, great stage actor, Josef Tura (world famous throughout Poland!), and Carole Lombard are hilarious. Aside from the first couple of minutes, the whole movie is a laugh riot. Amazing how well the script and performances have stood the test of time. Truly one of the greatest comedies of the 40s! Best lines: "So they call me Concentration Camp Airhart, eh?" and "What he did to Shakespeare, we are now doing to Poland." and "To be or not to be ..." Rent it, borrow it, buy it -- whatever you do, watch it. You'll love it.

Time to produce a DVD version with commentary track.

The year is 1963...as the world is reeling from the assassination of President Kennedy, Egypt has missiles posed to annihilate Israel. The only thing preventing this is the lack of guidance technology to properly target the missiles, which Egypt is on the verge of obtaining with assistance from a group of Germans, once officers within the SS during World War II, now members of a group called Odessa, a clandestine organization designed to assist ex-German military personal gain new identities and lives, thereby avoiding capture, after the end of the war.

The Odessa File (1974) takes the popular Frederick Forsyth novel of the same name, which is supposedly based on actual facts and events, and presents it as a truly wonderful, tense thriller that I ... Read More:
