A little change of pace tonight with our first science fiction film at the DfB Theatre. A mysterious Pacific storm engulfs the USS Nimitz, sending it back in time almost 40 years, just hours before the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Starring Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, and Katharine Ross.

We should have nuked the Japs back then (in the movie). That would be a more satisfying ending. Would have saved my father-in-law a long and bloody trek across the Pacific to Iwo and Okinawa in real life.
Oh I remember this one. Nice..
I loved the ending of this movie.
This is one of my guilty pleasure movies.
saw it a few years ago....very good movie...no over dramatization...good acting....
I want to recommend two modern movies....Interstellar was excellent and so was the Imitation Game ( some reference to homosexuality but not overwhelming)
good movie
I had the same feeling when I saw it. The ending was a cop out.
I spoke to one of the guys flying the Zeros (PT19s) in the scene where the jet flies between two of Zeros.
There were 6 or so based out of Clover Field south of Houston TX in the late 70’s early 80’s.
He said they were warned that there would be quite a vortex coming off of the ends of the wings.
He said there was what seemed like an eternity when he was just a passenger waiting to regain control.
Holy CARP! I LOVE this movie!!
Cheesy, but creative.
One of my favorite Navy films. and that was made back in the days when sailors were allowed to grow beards.
This is one of my 5 all time favorite movies.
I have pedestrian taste, unapologetically so, so don’t bother.
I can even remember seeing this one in the theater way back when. A fun movie.
I watched it during Navy Recruit Training, probably in December, definitely 1980. Needless to say it was a friendly audience and the film was well received.
Please add me to your ping list for movies. Thanks! Spunky
This was the very first movie I rented on VHS. With the way it bridges the two genres of WWII war films and sci-fi, I can’t help but like it.
