Awesome movie!

By Dawns Early Light

1990, James Earl Jones... Powers Booth... the dad from Christmas Story... need I say more

"The crew of a nuclear bomber attack the Soviet Union while the President of the United States tries desperately to regain control of his military after his helicopter crashes during a limited nuclear exchange in this film with a scenario similar to _Fail Safe_ and _Dr. Strangelove_. Originally a made for cable movie, it concentrates on the relationship between a veteran pilot and his female co-pilot and the president's attempt to wrest control away from a war-mongering successor"

A movie that I have watched a million times and that no one seems to have ever heard about:

The Paraclete

[Crow Hunter]

Also, if you missed Sinners and Saints, it's worth checking out. After all, there are a couple of M4C'ers in the flick.

I really liked that.

Who was in it from M4C?

If I'm not mistaken, a couple of guys that used to post here regularly were in a couple of the larger fight scenes. Also, Shihan's chest rig was in numerous scenes.

The In-laws with Allan Arkin and Peter Falk. One of the best comedies you will ever watch.

The Siege of Firebase Gloria (1989)

"At the start of the Tet Offensive a Marine unit on patrol stops at Firebase Gloria. When the base comes under attack the patrol remains to help aid in its defense. The Soldiers and Marines come under numerous attacks by the VC (Viet Cong), but in the end hold the base with assistance from the First Cavalry Division. While the Marines try and defend the base, the Viet Cong commander discovers that he is in a similar position: it was never his mission to win the battle, but to lead his men to their deaths in order to allow the North Vietnamese Army to take a more substantial role in the war. The Marines are subsequently forced to abandon the base having lost too many men in the process of defending it. In the end, the soldiers and commanders on both sides take stock of the loss of life for this single base."

The Lost City (2005)

Written, directed and produced by Andy Garcia.

An excellent film about the final days before Castro took over Cuba and how the revolution tore a family apart.

Garcia himself, escaped Cuba at age 6 with his family and is very anti-Castro and anti-communist.

The film shows what communism and Castro did to a once thriving and vibrant culture and economy. The damage that this type of system brings upon families and businesses and the tragedy that ensues.

A great film that is very well done and has great acting as well. Garcia does an amazing job on this film and it got almost no play in theaters.

It remains one of my favorite films and Garcia is one of my favorite actors.

The Proposition with Guy Pierce. May just be my circle, but nobody has seen it and its beautifully shot and scored with a neat story.
