corsair beat me to John Adams. An absolute MUST...

But alas, today is the 5th. Smile



"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Thanks. I looked up a few of the movies/series mentioned (John Adams was a series, wasn’t it?) and they were PPV, not expensive mind you, but I just didn’t feel like going that route. I actually ended up watching Blazing Saddles, I guess I can rationalize it as a good movie for July 4th.

We settled on Top Gun Maverick. Pondered all listed already (and I loved Turn).




Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

A little late to the party but watch Sons of Liberty with Claude Rains.

I saw this short film when it and aired in-between two movies being shown on TMC.

They Were Expendable.

"Patton" for runner up, and "The Longest Day" if you want a trifecta.



"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.
