That was also my impression of The Right Stuff. Glenn was squeaky clean, while the other astronauts had serious character flaws.
I also didn't like the scene set in 1953 in which the radio is playing a song from 1958. Such errors really annoy me.
Top Gun and Red Dawn. :)
Agree ‘The Sands of Iwo Jima’ should be on the list.
I believe that the Original ‘Red Dawn’ should be on.
Well count me as a third who likes that musical. Saw in stage in Boston. Loved it... sit down, John...for Gods sake john sit down. :-)
Don’t forget Patton.
Patton and Saving Private Ryan.
Lone Survivor
The Patriot
We Were Brothers Once
John Adams
