Alternative to War Films
May 23, 2009
If you are looking for relief from the plethora of war-glorification films that are being cranked out on television this weekend by the war-machine, may I suggest a selection from the lists provided in some earlier articles of mine; see here and here. Wouldn’t it be a nice statement if the video rental stores suddenly experienced an increased demand for any of these movies? The best of the lot? “The Americanization of Emily,” with James Garner and Julie Andrews, and pay special attention (early on) to the garden scene at the home of Julie Andrews’ mother!
