    Today's Classic Films

    "Glengarry Glen Ross" I guess Baldwin isnt as good of an actor in that movie as I thought he was. Judging from the voicemail he left, it looks like he was playing himself in the movie.

    Today's Classic Films

    "Saving Private Ryan" For all its flaws, it is still a very good movie and set a new standard for war films. "Zoolander" the more I see it, the better it gets.

    Documentaries

    A few of my favorites are "Memphis Belle" "Thunderbolt" "Ramrod to Emden". There was another one about an RAF Lancaster crew, very similar to "Memphis Belle" but i cant remember its name. something like "S for Sugar" or something like that.

    Remakes and Sequels: Then And Now

    Remakes and Sequels: Then And Now

    Sorry about that. No intention to offend anyone. I can understand banning words in the context of hate but in the context of discussion of the context of a movie from the era we all enjoy didnt seem like a problem to me.
