Photo #26 was quite depressing and disturbing.

Another fan of The Rocketeer, but a sad reminder that the early 90's was Disney's finest moment (including the parks, IMO).

I'd like to add this picture to NFB's post took me awhile to realize what I was looking at and finally relaized it was men covering the Statue of liberty.Had to copy it to paint and Zoom in
You should check it out. Not a great movie, but worth watching.
“I like it”
That depends on your what you consider a 'great movie', og. Not going to rank up there with the classics, but it did what a movie should do, which is entertain and lift one's spirits. Add to that the fact that it came when it was still cheaper to fly real airplanes than hire a couple hundred CG animators, the references to historical people, places, and events those of familiar enough with them will get (Neville Sinclair's being based on Errol Flynn, including the rumors that Flynn was a Nazi spy, and Dalton's resemblance to Flynn as well as the fact that Dalton had recently played Bond...Howard Hughes, particularly when the model Spruce Goose glides across the factory...Eddie Valentine choosing to fight the Nazis, just as the Mafia did assist the US in the war...and my favorite, the Hollywoodland sign, to name a few), and it's pretty easy to call it great.

I never saw it but I knew James Horner did the score for the film and that the film had a very similar "vibe" to the Indiana Jones movies.
