I need to check my movie collection. My husband has purchased a whole lotta DVD's that I don't discover unless I start thumbing through them. I think he bought this one. I had seen it years ago when I was sick at home and channel surfing. I loved it. It was on a few years ago, I taped it, and watched it with hubby. We both think that it is just a terrific movie.
Your intelligence is matched only by your good taste ;)
Flight of the Phoenix and Patton were the first two movies I got for my father when I bought him his first VCR (a Betamax that must have weighed 600 pounds) in 1979. I had to dub FOTP off of broadcast TV because it hadn't been released for sale yet.
