I saw that movie. It was the third of the "shocker" movies in that period. I saw "Blackhawk Down" too. All of them(starting with "saving Private Ryan", were a massive change to the "old standard" war movie, where you might see someone get shot, but they would IMMEDIATELY go to the next shot, not showing any "blood and guts", of what really happens when a mortar exploded near you or machine guns tear you apart. "Private Ryan"(especially the beach sequence) changed all of that forever. It tried to make the audience "feel the pain, and smell the cordite", so to speak. I think it succeeded!!

One of my favorite bands when I was a teen was Journey. I still like Journey(but not the NEW journey as much).

I also liked Duran Duran. Still do "Her name is Rio, and she dances on the sand".....

I liked "teenage mutant ninja turtles", for a short time, back i about 1989-90. I can't believe I did, now!!

I liked easy listening music, as far back as a kid. I still do. But it can only be heard by streaming or on music choice nowdays.

I saw it. A tear jerker. Loved it, though.
