I was watching it yesterday after work. Mostly war movies I never seen. They must save the best for Memorial Day.

The only thing better would be a John Wayne marathon.
Or Clint.
Or Charles Bronson.
But i digress. .

The Sand Pebbles - one of my favorites.

Love those two but I always liked Force 10 from Navarone

FWIW I blew through the entire series of Band of Brothers yesterday. I think my ass has become one with my recliner!

BOB is one of my favorites.

All good but Dirty Dozen and Kelly's are my fovorites.

Oddball: These engines are the fastest in any tanks in the European Theater of Operations, forwards or backwards. You see, man, we like to feel we can get out of trouble, quicker than we got into it.

Oddball: Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Moriarty: Crap!

Screw Ted Turner and his commie traitorous bitch wife!
Ask Senator McCain what he thinks about her! (Although I'm not a political fan of his).

She needed to be hung as a traitor!

For you young folks that were not around, the short version is while she was "touring" Hanoi, Viet Nam during the war, an American prisoner slipped her a note to take back and she gave it to the enemy and they were punished severely for it!

Sorry, but it strikes a nerve.

 

[jrbfishn]

Yes it does, a deep one. They should have kept her.

 

[Charlie]

Thank you. I'm not sure lots of folks remember that or are even aware of that.

 

[jrbfishn]

There are more than you think.
Unfortunately, there are still some that think it was a good thing. After that though, not many movies did well with the Fonda name in it. Go figure.

They have been divorced for a long, long time.

'Hanoi Jane' Rumors Blend Fact and Fiction

tru dat but the movies he shows are important i no longer give a crap about his political leaning, as far as tmc is concerned. .
But he owns the rights to a lot of movies that wouldn't be seen, if not for this channel

 

[ROGER4314]

That "Hanoi Jane" episode still sticks in my throat. I never forgot it and will never forgive it.

My movie choices are "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Longest Day." "Fury" is a stand out movie, too.
