I bought a Blu-Ray player about 10 days ago and for my first Blu-Ray film, I bought and watched "Secretariat". Excellent movie.
Today I ordered from Amazon about 10 Duke films in Blu-Ray but wasn't willing to pay the $47.99 asking price for my all-time favorite "Rio Bravo".
That is an insane price Stumpy! Sure it will come around.
Sounds like you've got plenty to be getting on with in the mean time!
Hi Stumpy, I watched Secretariat last week or so. It had a feature plus on it with the real owner who kept and raced him. Also, it had the original Triple Crown races, full footage. The original owner was in the film in a few places also. Ebay has Rio Bravo for, I think $15. Or they did a day a while ago.
Hang in, you will get a fair price. I still cannot believe that horse....33 lengths and still pulling away. The feature said when they necropsied him, his heart was OVER twice the size of a normal horse's. His owner said it was in both ways......boy it shows her and that horse together......real love! SUPER MOVIE!

The Sands of Iwo Jima and ended my "feud" with Forrest Tucker. He was just too good of an actor to stay mad at for over 30 years, LOL. Explanation in The Sands of Iwo Jima. KPKEITH

Sorry about your friend Ringo. It is so hard to watch a part of you die. Hope he can go peacefully. Need to talk, PM me. I was a nurse in ICU/CCU before I began my rambling around. Perhaps there are some old time things I know to help his last days more comfortable. Never heard of Breakthrough, now I want to watch it. How do you find it? KPKEITH
Just watched The United States Military Band play the song. The lyrics posted are not quite the same as when we learned all the Military songs in Chorus in school. For one thing, it was the CAISSONS go rolling along. I looked it up and can only find The Army Goes Rolling Along. Is it the same one you like? Here is something I found about it. When we learned it in school, I remember associating it with John Phillip Sousa, (I call him "the March King, LOL).
The song is based on the "Caisson Song" written by field artillery First Lieutenant (later Brigadier General) Edmund L. Gruber, Lieutenant William Bryden, and Lieutenant (later Major General) Robert Danford while stationed at Fort Stotsenburg in the Philippines in March 1908.[2] The tune quickly became popular in field artillery units. In 1917 the Secretary of the Navy and Army Lieutenant George Friedlander of the 306th Field Artillery asked John Philip Sousa to create a march using the "Caisson Song." Sousa changed the key, harmony, and rhythm and renamed it "U.S. Field Artillery."[3] Sousa didn't know who had written the song and had been told that it dated back to the Civil War
So, which song is it? I will look for the movie. I love this type of thing!
Thanks for the post, KPKEITH
I NEEDED to watch again: Breakthrough w/ John Agar, Paul Picerni, & Frank Lovejoy. Reason being is that the theme of the movie is the Army Song: The Army Goes Marching Along. Im doing that viewing to honor a vet friend of mine who "isnt going to be around much longer" :-(((((
The theme song makes me feel slightly better on hearing it.
Ringo Kid, Here are part of the lyrics we learned back around 1960.
The Army Song
Over hill, over dale,
As we hit the dusty trail,
And those caissons go rolling along.
In and out, hear them shout,
“Counter march and right about”
And the caissons go rolling along.
Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hee! In the Field Artillery
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
Wher’er you go, you will always know,
That those caissons go rolling along,
And those caissons go rolling along.
Are these the words you know, or are they the new ones?
We performed in many places, but we were most appreciated at the VA Hospital then on Peachtree road around Brookhaven in Atlanta It was not at all like the ones they have now. But the men were the same. They cheered in many places throughout a song. And those who COULD stand, did so when we finished. For two more years, we went there every Christmas and made it our own special "CHARITY". We sang something most folks don't even know about it. Mom was a Lt. in the Navy Waves in WWII. She taught us Waves of the Navy. We sang it in Harmony with Anchors Aweigh. It is a very moving thing. Can't find it anywhere to download but can find text about it. Can't find Breakthrough, but will keep looking. Thanks, KPKEITH

This is a real love/hate film... I happen to think it's great!
Diamonds are Forever
Machine Gun Preacher
Highlander
Merrill's Marauders Great movie with the very underated Jeff Chandler in one of his last roles.

AMEN to that, it was a great movie. Believe it or not? but, I met a Gent who lives in Houston who grew up across the street from Merrill and other famed servicemen.
Watched and greatly enjoyed it with lunch today: Hall's of Montezuma w/ Richard Widmark, Jack Webb, Richard Boone, Reginald Gardiner, Richard Hylton, Robert Wagner, Bert Freed, Walter (Jack) Palance, Neville Brand, Skip Hoimeier and Karl Malden.
All I can say is that it was one hell of a great movie.
Sherlock Holmes
Casino Royale
North Sea Hijack with Roger Moore. Stupid but enjoyable!!

I was probably 1 of 20 people who saw it at the theaters. I liked it for several reasons. One was because Sir Moore--was so against his type in that he hated women. Another is because he loved Cats and finally--I thought the double "F" for Ffusiliers was kinda neat and related to the double "F" in Ffolkes.
I watched another grand classic: The Great Escape. Such a great all around cast and story. This movie will never be bested in a milliion years.
King kong, Peter Jackson version.
A good reworking but still not a patch on the original

Roger Moore actually makes the movie with his lines and performance (and of course a cat lover) although Anthony Perkins has some classic quotes too.
