#1 They Shall Not Grow Old
I don’t need to see another Midway film. What I would like to see is a film about the largest naval battle in history, The Battle of Leyte Gulf.
And speaking of WWI films, I’m definitely going to see “1917” when it comes out next month.
Saw “6 Underground “ last night.
Great action flick and liked the locations...
I really hate DiCrapio, but he was good in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”.
Wait? Tom Hank and ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood’ is not listed. Must be some mistake here.
Tell me about that one - who directed it and why you liked it.
They’re on my list...
• Eastwood’s “Richard Jewell”
• Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood,” Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt play a fictional version of Burt Reynolds and his stuntman/director Hal Needham
• Mangold, “Ford v. Ferrari,” starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale
• Emmerich’s “Midway,” Woody Harrelson plays Admiral Chester Nimitz, Dennis Quaid Admiral Halsey, and Aaron Eckhart Col. Doolittle
Roger that. Everything I've heard about this film says it's great.
ditto
They forgot Togo - A movie about a man and his dog sled team racing against time to deliver a serum to save the children of Nome from a diphtheria outbreak in 1925.
No women or Black Transvestite dog mushers, just heroic manly White men.
That actually came out last year. I saw it one year ago today.
World War One anyone??
The music is black metal...not everyone’s cup of tea, but the videos are about the song, focus on Austro Hungary, Italy, Carpathians...snipers....
12 minute music vid. I made it recently.
If you like your music HEAVY, you’ll love it...

I haven’t seen any of the 4 mentioned above. I liked “Angel Has Fallen.” It wasn’t a great movie in general terms - but a very good action movie - and Nick Nolte as the hero’s father was a treat to watch.
It was Peter Jackson, who was commissioned by the Imperial War Museum (btw I just visited there when I was in London, highly recommend it!)
He took old footage and colorized it and normalized the speed so it looks like it was shot recently. Added in commentary from the men who fought during the war. It really brought it to life like nothing before. I found myself tearing up a few times during the movie.
There were actually two Midway films this year
The other was Dauntless
It didn’t have the big budget as Midway, and it was told more from the Pilot’s and Rescue crew’s POV vs the big Picture but it is definitely worth checking out.
Speaking of WWI and Heavy Metal....Lemmy’s “1916” is the definitive song about WWI. It certainly doesn’t sound like the typical Motorhead song, but it’s very poignant, well done Lemmy (RIP).
I saw it in January, so that’s why I associated it with this year.
And you have to see it in 3D.
Yes!
