Midway is a favorite of ours. Kind of melodramatic in places, but still a pretty good chronicle of the decimation of the Japanese carrier fleet. Bonus - spot a very young Eric Estrada as one of the flyers (Ponch from CHIPS). Also, one about the women caught up in the Japanese interment camps "Paradise Road". Stars Glen Close.

There are also the two HBO miniseries: "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific".
In your previous post you mentioned A Bridge Too Far which is one of my favorite movies. You can catch a quick glimpse of a young Cliff Clavin in that movie.
 
Or Animal House

I guess I could have mentioned History of the World Part 1, also.

I lean on my left forearm a lot. How come it isn't desensitized yet? : )

Sounds funny, but I lean on my left elbow all the time at work. Started getting numb fingers, so I try not to do it......but somehow I find myself leaning on my elbow again. o_O

Plus - we were all talking about carpal tunnel yesterday, since most of us have a mouse in our hand all day long. @ImJustKCClone suggested I use my left hand on occasion, but I haven't quite become adept at that yet.

My cousin was an extra in a few episodes of "Band of Brothers".

If you've ever seen "Motel Hell" with Rory Calhoun, you'll recognize a young John Ratzenberger, buried up to his neck in the garden, making strangling noises because his tongue has been cut out. That was a classic piece of schlock.

I saw this years ago. Didn't know who John Ratzenberger was at the time.

I do this too. I've noticed that elbow wears out on my shirts faster than my right elbow.

I still haven't gotten used to the desk in this office. I leaned on my right elbow for quite some time and the way this desk is configured it makes for an awkward position.
 
I always sit on the front of my chairs and straight up. Came from my time at the car dealership. Owner was dirt cheap. Had a chair that if you leaned back more than a couple inches in the chair, it would fly backwards and slam to one side and dump you out.
 
Do people shampoo their eyebrows? Noticed mine have some dandruff today. Maybe I never was taught right and Im supposed to shampoo them also?
 
Grrr. Vikings game kicks off at 3:40p. I have to be at work at 5:30p. And there's no good way for me to check the score.

Bleh.
