Starting a trend, Die Hard with a Vengeance.
Not seen this since I WAS about 12 Is it the Frank Sinatra film about raising a WWII U boat hoping to rob an ocean liner? I can't remember all the details but were the dead crew all skeletonised, sitting at the table in their Uniforms or something similar to that? Good fun though, in a similar vein to Raise the TitanicAssault on The Queen. Another film you should watch if your 12, or can partially shut down you brain, so all the implausibility doesn't ruin it!
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir was on TCM tonight and of course I had to watch it.
That's it! Only the good Captain's skeleton was left. Great movie for a 12 year old!Not seen this since I WAS about 12 Is it the Frank Sinatra film about raising a WWII U boat hoping to rob an ocean liner?

Inglorious Basterds. First time to see it (I'm not a big Quentin Tarantino fan). It was ok. I wasn't enthralled with it, that's for sure.
Right now I'm watching The House On 56th Street (1933) with Kay Francis for a second time. Yesterday I watched Trog (1970).
What was the last movie you watched?
I liked it - not as much as his best movies - but I enjoyed it. Brad Pitt did an incredible job as did Melanie Laurant. Once you accept (you either can or can't and I understand if you can't) that this is not history, but a made up story built around history and not meant even to reflect events that might have happened, I thought it worked. It is very Tarantino - it brings his crazy mind of how people think and act into a familiar-to-movie-goers WWII setting.
I actually thought Brad Pitt was too much of a caricature. But then again, aren't all the characters in this film some form of caricature? I did like that all of the top Nazis got wiped out in one fell swoop.
