+Wrench Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 For those of us in the States, the cable channel "Turner Classic Movies" (aka TCM) has been running a lot of the classic war films; the expected ones and some not so expected... They've had Back to Bataan They Were Expendable We Dive At Dawn Operation Crossbow (Sophia Loren!! woot!!!) still to come later today (well, for us West Coast Folks) Where Eagles Dare Bridge on the River Kawi and the ones I'm waiting for: Above and Beyond (Paul Tibbits & The Bomb - fictionalized 509th Story -- good flying scenes!) The Dambusters ('nuff said!) as TCM runs things uncut, I'm sure the dog is STILL named correctly... can't wait for 7 pm tonight!!! when these 2 start! wrench kevin stein
ONETINSOLDIER Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 ok, now im curious. whats the dogs name? p.s. I dont get TCM
+Wrench Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 Since the dog was a black lab .... and this taking place in the 1940s ... unforturantely, a fairly common term back then. and Gentlemen, and Ladies, DO NOT turn this into a political/historical correctness thread!!! It just about what movies to watch (if you get the channel, that is). Thank you! wrench kevin stein
Derk Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Wasn't it "Nebukadnezar" or something, very classic ??? "Nelson" would have been nice too..... Hou doe, Derk

+allenjb42 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 We had Pearl Harbour last night on the BBC, and Lawrence of Arabia and Where Eagles Dare this afternoon and tonight. Don't think it had anything to do with the US Memorial Day though.
+Syrinx Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 We get TCM on Sky over here. Yep there are some good old movies on there. Twelve o'clock high was on not so long ago. One of my favourite oldies.
+ST0RM Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 You would think that AFN (Armed Forces Network) would show similiar movies on a day such as this, but no... The spouses can't go without their soaps.
