Movies to Help Pass the Time

Watched "Quigley Down Under" again last night. The wife said she had never seen it. I can't imagine that, but she's seen it now!

You're about a half a bubble off plumb, and that's fer sure and fer certain.

Just watched the 1966 film The Sand Pebbles with Steve McQueen. Very good movie.

I don’t remember seeing a Steve McQueen movie I disliked. He was the original ‘Rambo-type’ tough guy.

One hellofa good movie.

Behind Enemy Lines is about a downed pilot in Bosnia
and Bat 21 was about a downed pilot in Viet Nam. Both are true stories.

Behind Enemy Lines was Owen Wilson’s best flick, IMO anyway.

Josey Wells. All the time. Every day.

And John Wick for dry fire practice.

Just watched the 1951 film The Thing From Another World, about an encounter between the US military and a hostile alien at the North Pole. One of the true classic movies.

The remakes of The Mummy with Brendan Fraser are pretty decent flicks. The one set in China was OK, but I preferred the films with Rachel Weisz.

One that I need to get and watch again is High Road to China. It's a movie with Tom Selleck, Wilford Brimley, and Bess Armstrong. If one hasn't watched it, it is a story where Bess' character hires Selleck's character to search out her father (Brimley) that is in China. It has some cool scenes with WWI style airplanes.

I remember liking that movie.

Re-watching the 1956 sci-fi flick, World Without End. This is a decent movie and one of my alll-time favorite films.

The first US space flight (a manned mission to Mars) has taken place in 1957 and after completing their mission, they are returning to earth. Suddenly, they hit a great turbulence and everyone on board is knocked out cold.

The ship crash-lands on a snowbank in some mountains, and our heroes figure out that they are on the earth several centuries in the future after a devastating atomic war.

In spite of the (by our standards) awful special effects, it is overall, a very good film, being well-acted, with a good plot and script.

It is available on DVD, and from what I hear, blu-ray.

A nice touch for me was the heroes carried S&W M&P revolvers, which became the Model 10.
