WOW! hock: :? shock:

As the old saying goes, "There's nothing new in Hollywood." and so it would seem that The Eagle Has Landed had an earlier incarnation.

Very interesting... :?

Narukami

[Narukami]

Many great films listed here -- a lot of favorites.

As for the films I return to again for many reasons, listed in no particular order other than as they come to mind:

The Seven Samurai ("Kurosawa stags a final battle that is confused without being confusing.")

Chushingura (1962) A great historical event, a great kabuki play, a great film

Les Enfants du Paradis ("Be quiet! We can't hear the pantomime!")

Star Wars ("Will someone get this walking carpet out of my way.")

O' Brother Where Art Thou ("You boys are as dumb as a bag of hammers.")

The Big Sleep ("Looks like we're closed for the afternoon.")

The Lord Of The Rings ("A wizard is never late.")

Shakespeare in Love ("The tide waits for no man, but I swear it would wait for you.")

Searching For Bobby Fisher ("He is better at chess then you will be at anything in your life.")

Crimes & Misdemeanors ("You'd think no one was ever compared to Mussolini before...")

The Marx Brothers ("Hello, I must be going...")

As for Television fare...

The Outer Limits -- old tricks are the best tricks
I Claudius -- The way we wish ancient Rome had been
Prime Suspect -- simply great
Futurama -- "Good news everybody!"
Rome -- I know, I know...but sometimes even poor ancient Rome is better than no ancient Rome

:wink:
