Watched "The Red Baron" last night... romanticized tale of the German Ace that claims to be a realistic view, but I have my doubts. Scratch that... I have a LOT of doubts. The movie didn't mention how many of his victories resulted from shooting down observation planes either. Fun filled fluff... not particularly recommended, but the planes are nice.

The old World at War tv series made about 1970.

I found the DVD box set in sale.

I have not seen it in 20 years.

It is very good!

If the Berlin wall had already fallen it could have been that much better.

I found a DVD box set of the old TV series "The Persuaders": starring Tony Curtis and Roger Moore

The quips between the 2 central characters makes this very entertaining!

I just watched a movie about the English Civil War called "To Kill a King". I'm not exactly sure what I will watch next, but I enjoyed the movie.

Cannibal: The Musical

It was on a list of little known gems that everyone should watch... so far I'm not impressed <yawn>. It was done by the "South Park" guys.

I�ve just been watching Garrow�s Law. I don�t usually like courtroom drama, but Garrow�s Law is a very good period (Georgian London) drama too.

Just watched a documentary on Pearl Harbor; The 24 hours after the attack.

Quite interesting to watch although nothing earth shattering uncovered. Brought home just what a struggle everyday life was for FDR - thanks to his Polio - let alone the stress of being the President of the USA.

I really enjoyed Persons Unkown (Much better than Lost as it did away with all that supernatural stuff and filler episodes).

Also enjoyed The Prisoner, wasn't sure I would but with Ian Mckellan it's worth watching just for his performance.

For light entertainment then Eureka and Warehouse 13 are two programmes I enjoy watching at the moment.

Finally the repeats of The Professionals (loved that programme when I was a kid, I think it was the UK's version of TSarsky and Hutch which I loved also, and the acting on the whoe still holds up today, infact the dialogue between Bodie and Doyle is way ahead of it's time in the way the the converstaion flows. Similar to the dialogue flow in an Quintin Tarrantino film without the swearing). What I never noticed though when I was 10 was that it's pretty much the same story every episode and they always end the programme nicking or killing villians in a big house in the country. Still love it.

The prisoner was strange but I watched it because of Caviezel. It was a good, if somewhat strange, series.

I have the VHS set - cost me �140 back in the day....it takes up quite some shelf space too! I now have the DVD collection which is much more slimline and at a fraction of the cost (I think the DVD collection was �12)

Just finished watching the last episode of Boss. Right up there with The Wire and Breaking Bad in my book. Also watching Ken Burn's Prohibition.

Talking about World at War the previous BBC Doc The Great War from the 60's is also a superb watch. Infact it's my favourite doc on WW1 as they have some amazing footage and also alot of interviews with the participants who where I suppose in their 60's or 70's so younger than our remaining WW2 vets. You can buy it on DVD and I highley recommend it.

@H_Gilmor The original Prisoner TV series for the 60's is just as strange but not as dark as the modenr version. Infact I was a little wary about the remake as the original has cult status.
