Great film cable Hogue. Worth catching if you can. Fine acting and Stella Stevens too
So, carry on don't lose your head now.. Bedtime viewing while I relax.
Hondo (1953)
https://i.imgur.com/Vh364Ui.jpg
One of John Wayne's best films - his best film according to Al Bundy from 'Married With Children.'
Not much plot. Essentially he has to save some settlers from the Apaches - which he does of course - acquiring a bird (Geraldine Page) and a surrogate son along the way. The pacing is brisk, unlike a lot of 1950s westerns, and the battle at the end is cracking.
Apollo 11
Stunning documentary, wasn’t aware someone had shot it all on 70mm film at the time.
This makes it look less like something from the History books and something you might see on CNN.
Given recent SpaceX launch this was a must watch.
Fantastic.

The Last Remake of Beau Geste. 1977 stars Marty Feldman, Ann Margret, Michael York and Peter Ustinov.
Life is as brief as a butterfly's fart, but death is something that you have forever. From now on, you will march until you drop, and when you have dropped, you will crawl. Some may consider that I am excessively cruel, but there is a reason for this cruelty: I enjoy it!
Just watched 'The Man From Laramie' 1955, with James Stewart. An all time classic western, excellent stuff!

highly fictionalised account of the real-life Operation Crossbow, made with a large cast of popular film stars of the time. It does touch on the main aspects of the operation, which embraced all tactics used to thwart the German long-range weapons programme in the last years of World War II. The scenes alternate between Nazi Germany’s development of the V-1 flying bomb and V-2 rocket, and the efforts of British Intelligence and its agents to defend against the threats. All characters speak in the appropriate language, with English subtitles for those speaking German or Dutch.
yes a classic...Quote:

The Lego Batman Movie (2017)
https://i.imgur.com/X9xdzTl.jpg
Since Adam West hung up his cowl there have been many attempts to revive the franchise including 'Batman', 'Batman Returns', 'Batman Forever', 'Batman And Robin', 'Batman Begins', 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Dark Knight Returns'.
The thing all those movies had in common is that they were unadulterated rubbish.
But this! - this is so good it is bordering on genius. The funniest film I have seen in a long time.
I liked Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns, also the Christoper Nolan take on the character grew on me. It’s Robert Pattinson donning the cape I just can’t get my head around. Much like Ben Affleck.
This isn’t released until the end of October, I can’t wait.

Cross Of Iron 1977.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...14cef49702.jpg
a poignant reminder of the sheer brutal obscenity of war
Don't yet rejoice in his defeat, you men!
Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard,
The bitch that bore him is in heat again.

Citizen Kane. 1941.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bae21a09dc.jpg
Talking of super powerful men, Randolph Hearst did his upmost to stop this film including many nasty things, but ultimately failed. guess his measley 40 billion, and the biggest media empire in the usa wasnt quite enough. he did cause the film to fail financially tho, as it only broke even when it is now classed as the greatest film ever made
