That's a great film. The cinematography of that scene when the B-25's are doing their run in is fantastic. I understand the actual B-25's were used and flown over desert areas of LA.

Cruise finally hitting the wall? He lasted a lot longer than most. Didn’t they shoot Top Gun 2 in 2018 or so too?

They’re almost all dead. But even the last ones around still need to be hunted down.

Why should the passage of time wipe away what they did?

“The Master Race’’

Yeah, right.

That’s probably about the age I was when my Dad took me to see it. In our local movie theater on a Saturday night.

Man, I’d forgotten what that was like. A local movie theater.

Yeah that scene with Holden was great and he gets killed himself and Guinness , in the ultimate irony as he picks himself up from the mortar blast, tries to straighten up as a British officer before he collapses and say’s “What have I done?’’ as the whole damn bridge goes into the river.

End all non-western (ie non-European) immigration if you want to even begin to preserve our culture.

Fact is ...Hollywood is 100% “Dead-In-The-Water”!!! Tinsel town will continue to die as is our once great, powerful nation republic!!! Sad days for our once wonderful land, from sea to shinning sea!!!!!! IMHO, any American that watches the idiotic award shows ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer...by a long shot!!! Big...monster waste of time!!! We have not gone to see a theater movie in at least the last ten years!!! Better off watching the “Hallmark Movie Channel!!! It blows “Hollywood away”!!!
