“I liked that movie and Midway too.”

Did you happen to see it in the theater? It was shown in SENSOROUND which would almost knock you out of your seat during dogfight scenes.

At least Midway tried to maintain a thread of historical accuracy.

The final scene on the pier was kinda depressing though. Two dozen tourists in aloha shirts greeting the fleet returning from one of the most epic victories in naval history. Prolly shoulda ended the movie differently.

I was probably way too young but would have probably loved that.

This is easy: Inherit the Wind. See www.themonkeytrial.com. It will make your blood boil!

Also see the new movie, ALLEGED, at www.allegedthemovie.com. I wrote the screenplay (full disclosure).

Yes, I loved when the planes were revving up on the deck of the carrier. Way cool!!

It was almost as real as the two aircraft carriers (USS Oriskany and USS Ranger) that I served on five to six years earlier.
