Aside from the 16mm training movies (and there were damned few of those) the only TV I saw in basics was the 1969 Moon Landing. I have to say my favorite John Wayne movies are "The Quiet Man", and John Ford's Cavalry trilogy.
And what WWI movie would that be? If you haven't seen it, "War Horse" is an excellent film, tho it's a "watch once" thing for me. Just too depressing for rewatching. "They Shall Not Grow Old" by Peter Jackson is another worth viewing. These are too realistic and accurate to be considered entertainment, but fit into the documentary mode.
Saw 1917. It's supposed to be a true story. Look into "The Lost Battalion" with Ricky Schroder. It's another true story. "Passchendaele" as well. "All Quiet On The Western Front" is a must watch---especially the original. All great WWI stories.
Klaus....The humpback from Eastwood's "For A Few Dollars More". I have read the man had a brutal temper and even his children, one was the late'70s thru '80s actress/model (most famous for the movie "Cat People") Natassjia Kinski hated him. He also was a **** as a paratrooper and captured early in his service in '43 by the British...... I think in Operation Market Garden.
Everyone seems to love the Big Lebowski but honestly I hated it.
I have some that made the transition from VHS to laser disc then DVD and also Blu Ray but now much is just online. I travel so much I like my apple Library for the simple fact it goes with me.
There are many old films that are impossible to locate anywhere.
I downloaded metropolis a few months ago, not as entertaining as it once was for me. I’m spoiled by to many special effects in sci-fi movies now I guess.
No opinion on the rest, but it shocks me that "Arsenic and Old Lace" would be too hard to find. And I've watched "Laurence of Arabia" and "Metropolis" recently. I could tell you where I found them, but they're out there.
