Thirteen days

 

<wikipedia>

Thirteen Days (2000) is a historical film directed by Roger Donaldson about the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, seen from the perspective of the US political leadership.

Most of the scenes take place in the White House, focusing on the decision-making process as President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert confront the military, who are pushing for an invasion of Cuba as a reaction to the installation of missiles there by the Soviet Union. Most of the film deals not so much with the Cold War between the Superpowers so much as the conflict between the civilian and military authorities over the correct strategy to pursue. The film is structured so that much of it is seen through the eyes of Kenny O'Donnell, a White House aide played by Kevin Costner.

Nice film. I never thought I would like a political drama. Almost did a nightout on a week day for this. Started just to watch the beginning but ended up stuck for two and a half hours before the screen, till about four in the morning...

Across the Universe



Its a musical. Felt somewhat weird at times. Must be because of the switching between story and the songs.
Music's good. That's from the Beatles. Loved "Dear Prudence"

12 Angry Men

"Life Is In Their Hands -- Death Is On Their Minds!"

Beautiful.

This 1957 movie is a classic. Wonderful acting by one and all. Superb movie.

The imdb comment section says: "The over-used term "classic movie" really comes into its own here!"

Yes. It does.
