    Nice choices, everyone.

    I just realized The Incredible Mr. Limpet was a war movie.

    Now list those from 1-5, best to worst.
    I've seen Fury, and 1917, but not the others. So I want to know.

    I don't really know. They are all so different from each other. Just keep it in that order and check them out.

    I'm not sure if I've seen it. It looks very familiar, but I can't remember if I've watched it , or not.

    Here is a Catch-22 for you. Growing old sucks but we all want to get there.

    I haven't read it either. I'm putting it on my list. I'm reading through all the Lovecraft e-zine Megapacks right now. I'm on the 2011 one right now. I'm not much into short stories, but they are all dedicated to HP Lovecraft so....:shrug:.
    I'm a geek for cosmic horror stuff.
