Movies to Help Pass the Time

Limited on what I can watch in the RV on the road but scanning local channels turn up some interesting classics on the TV.
GET Tv had Archie Bunker on tonight arguing about the right to bear arms with meathead.
Pretty funny stuff that one will not see on today’s liberal tv.

That’s a good one! Haven’t seen that since I was a kid, reruns at grandmas house.

Two films adapted from stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Land That Time Forgot and The People That Time Forgot are both on the same DVD disc, and I watched both of them yesterday and today. Pretty good flicks made in 1974 and 1977.

Speaking of vintage cinema, I watched Buffalo Rider the other day. Full movie is free on YouTube. It held up.

Not sure if it’s been talked about but I watched “Operation Finale” last weekend. Good movie. Historical significance.

“Fifteen years after the end of World War II, a team of top-secret Israeli agents travels to Argentina to track down Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi officer who masterminded the transportation logistics that brought millions of innocent Jews to their deaths in concentration camps. Hoping to sneak him out of the country to stand trial, agent Peter Malkin soon finds himself playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with the notorious war criminal.”

Fast Times at Ridgemont High
16 Candles

Bill O'Reilly's book, Killing The SS, is a blow by blow account of the Doctor of Death Josef Mengele. How he was tracked down and what steps they took to keep from being discovered.
Great Read!

Check out ‘Not Another Teen Movie’. It’s a spoof of all of those. Some hilarious stuff.

Watched "Metropolis" produced by Fritz Lang. Astounding technically given the time, good one to see.
