15:17 to Paris. Actual military as actors. Middle pace is slow, but good patriotic story line.

This movie is criticised as being boring. The subject matter really doesn't lend itself to a Luc Besson style car chase nor a Coen brothers script with a cast of characters. I wonder what the critics expect from the real life experience? Don't expect War And Peace. Watchable.

"The Lady Vanishes" (1938) A superb Hitchcock film, with elements of comedy, mystery, and high adventure. A young Englishwoman is travelling across Europe by train, and makes the acquaintance of an older woman, who suddenly disappears from the train, at which point, the "how" and "why" aspects begin to take form....this is the stuff that great films are made from !
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
(Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison, George Sanders)
In 1900, a young widow finds her seaside cottage is haunted...and forms a unique relationship with the ghost. - IMDb
Quite enjoyable.

The 2013 remake is also quite well done.

Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (1983) MST3K version (the only way it's watchable)
Absolutely horrible movie that was shot on video and made for PBS, somehow they got Raul Julia to disgrace himself long enough to star in this turkey.
It has all the trademark awfulness of 80's low budget Sci-Fi, the crappy digital effects, the synth soundtrack, giving everything a futuristic sounding name, usually ending in Tron or Tech.
MST3K gave it the roasting it deserves.

"Torn Curtain" (1966) Political intrigue, in which an American physicist (Paul Newman) pretends to defect to East Berlin, in order to obtain a critical missing piece of a puzzle from a brilliant German scientist. Julie Andrews is excellent as his fiance`. Another Hitchcock masterpiece !

"Oblivion" (2013)
A slightly different vehicle here for Tom Cruise....in the year 2077, he is Tech #49, Jack Harper, whose job is to repair and maintain attack drones on a nearly-demolished Earth, after we barely won an intergalactic war. Jack begins to question his mission after being confronted by Morgan Freeman, leader of an underground group of freedom fighters.
Probably a bit longer than it should have been, but interesting nonetheless....
