Hmmmm...Â* My wife and I tried very hard to watch Catch 22 just a couple
of months ago.Â* We got disgusted with all the double talk and turned it
off.Â* Maybe the book was better than the movie.

BTW, I believe the author, Joseph Heller, was captured in Europe by the
Germans and was aboard a POW train that was attacked by allied aircraft.

Flight of the Phoenix was neat, especially as they actually built and

The film wasn't worth that. Which reminds me, Scholl died doing shots for
Top Gun - jeezthis make-believe is dangerous!
I've seen the film and read the book. The book was better.


"Ditto" on the FotP book/film comparison. Has anyone ever seen a film they
considered better than the book from which it was derived? (Musta been a
really lousy book IMO, dry chuckle...)
