What Is The Last Movie/Show You Saw? (30 Viewers)

The Birth of a Nation (1915) - IMDb

I can understand why it caused riots now.
 
 
DR2 showed this program at 1810 today:
The Great Escape: The Reckoning - Channel 4

DR2 is rather cool when it comes to showing WW2-stuff.
There's usually an episode of some docu series about WW2 every day at ten past six. :)
They haven't shown much about either the Luftwaffe or the RAF, yet - but hey, there's still plenty of time for them to do that. ;)

Is that out on DVD already?

Watched a couple of episodes of "Hogan's Hero's" and one of "Gomer Pyle USMC" this afternoon, over at my wife's grandparent's place. Her grandfather (SBD mech on carriers, WW2) is recovering from bypass surgery. We both agreed, they just don't make TV shows like they used to.

The Runaway - a polish documentary about Kazimierz Piechowski, who managed to escape from Auschwitz together with three others in 1942; they escaped by driving out of the main gate in a stolen car, wearing SS-uniforms.
After the escape he joined the polish resistance forces, which later cost him ten years in prison under the polish communist rule.
He educated himself and became an engineer, working at the wharf in Gdansk, before he managed to fulfill a lifelong dream at age 70, travelling and seeing the world together with his wife Iga.
Kazimierz Piechowski is the last survivor of the four guys who managed to escape from Auschwitz.

Harrowing in places, highlights the improvements that have been made since then and the work that Sir Jackie Stewart among others put in to improve the safety standards of F1.

Seen "Expendable" before...had a hard time watching it. I had just finished a book about a guy who survived the Bataan Death March, so every time they had to send a crew to fill in the trenches at Bataan after losing a PT boat, I literally had to stop myself from screaming "NO!!!", knowing what they were getting in to. Good movie otherwise.

I think the book was "Baby of Bataan".
