Of Mice and Men (1992)
Best version of a great movie.
This is the third version of this movie. The first was made in 1939 with Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney Jr. The second was a made for television movie with Robert Blake and Randy Quaid. They were both great movies and this one is even better. Everything in this movie was done right. The viewer really feels he is on that depression era ranch near Soledad. This movie is a "must-see" for everyone who doesn't require constant car-chases and things getting blown up to enjoy a movie. It's too bad the studios pulled all promotion of this great movie and only a fortunate few of us got to see it on the big screen. I highly recommend this movie.
Pastime (1990)
Great minor league baseball movie
This is a great movie about minor league baseball. I recommend it to all baseball fans. If you're looking for endless car crashes and things getting blown up, forget it, this is not the movie for you. But if you're looking for a good, entertaining movie about minor league baseball and the people in it, you'll enjoy this one.
South Pacific (1958)
Worst movie ever made.
This has got to be the worst movie ever made. It makes "Plan Nine From Outer Space" and "Eyes Wide Shut" look like masterpieces. I was in the Navy, and not once did my shipmates all stop whatever they were doing and start singing and dancing. There are a lot of bad movies about the Navy, (Ensign Pulver, Operation Petticoat, and very few good ones, (The Caine Mutiny, The Last Detail,) and this one is the worst of the bad.
The Last Detail (1973)
Shows it like it was.
This is the only movie I've ever seen that shows Navy enlisted men as other than Laurel and Hardy type buffoons, or singers and dancers with their hats on the back of their heads like Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly. This movie shows that enlisted men are real, human, and have feelings just like everybody else. Anyone who has ever been in the Navy has known and been stationed with men like the three characters in this movie. I can't speak for the current Navy, I left in 1964, but it's refreshing to see a movie about Navy enlisted men.
