I've seen it many times and have a copy of the DVD. I also have a fairly well-worn copy of the book.
I get the distinct impression that Tom Wolfe was not particularly enamored of John Glenn and that Gordon Cooper was his favorite. LOL
You think everyone in the filmmaking business is a Stalinist?
I cant remember a movie that so captured a time in America that embodied What and who we are .
The spirit of Exploration ,courage and Accomplishment,I came out of the Theater thinking where did that America go ,What a Shame it has all been lost
‘A Few Good Men’ also springs to mind.
“Portrayal of the future? Did you know “iFart” was the top selling application on iPhone last week? “
LMAO! Are you serious?
I always liked that movie. It brings out the importance of doing good things with your life and being kind to other people.
I nominate Shorty.
My brother loves Barbershop, he almost drove me crazy talking aboiut it, then I saw it. It is a wonderful movie, extremely funny, but with a very good message about family and tradition and caring for others.
My favorite too.
Paul: “A world full of ignorant people is too dangerous to live in.” from Judy Holliday’s Born Yesterday. I love that movie!
I also like October Sky.
Family Man is one of our favorite Christmas movies.
I’d forgotten that one. Kenneth Branaugh may have his faults, but he could do Shakespeare like few others have been able to. I wish he would return to doing so, rather than the crap he has done over the last several years.
Starship Troopers....well the movie could have been done better, but it should have been one of the best conservative movies.
How did I know G&G would be tops on your list? (grin)
I haven’t seen that movie in a while, but I don’t recall the government the cast were all operating under as being conservative.
lol I love Gone with the Wind too, until they burn Atlanta. I leave the room during that part.
I lived in Atlanta for 15 years and consider it my real home.
Yes. And if nothing else, it is the lesser of two weevils.
Nobody puts baby in a corner.
LMAO! Are you serious?
I am serious. And the first thing I thought of was "Ass" the movie from Idiocracy. We are basically there (but Starbuck's isn't as fun). Here's a link to a story about the application:
