|  Delta Force is a 1986 American action film starring Chuck Norris as counterterrorism expert and Delta soldier Major Scott McCoy. The film was produced by Cannon Films. Major Scott McCoy and his partner, Colonel Nick Alexander, are commanders of Delta Force, a United States counter-terrorism force deployed on November 21, 1977. The film begins with the failed rescue of the hostages in the American Embassy in Tehran. Captain McCoy rescues a soldier from a burning helicopter and is promoted to major as a result. Terrorists led by Abdul hijacked an American Travelways Airlines (ATW) Boeing 707 on Flight 282 from Athens to Rome. The President sends McCoy and his squad on Abdul. Abdul separates the Jewish hostages and secretly has them taken off the ship during a stopover in Beirut. Two Navy soldiers are also taken away, as well as a priest who joined the Jewish hostages. At the same time, other fighters from Abdul's organization come on board, which is also hidden from Delta Force, they continue to assume that there are two hijackers. Then the machine flies on to Algiers and lands there. All female hostages are released. The command followed in a Lockheed C-130 and is preparing to storm the machine, but is called back at the last second by Colonel Alexander, who has learned from the German stewardess Ingrid that other hijackers are on board. In revenge, the kidnappers kill the third Navy soldier on board and throw him out of the starting machine. The Boeing returns to Beirut, where Abdul's terrorist organization called the New World Revolutionary Organization is apparently based and has semi-official support. The remaining hostages are being held captive in a school. McCoy and his partner Pete Peterson travel to Beirut disguised as Canadian reporters to scout out the situation and prepare for the liberation operation with the help of a Greek Orthodox priest who works for the Mossad. The priest is exposed and captured. He escapes torture and possible betrayal by falling from the balcony and dying. Still, McCoy and Peterson are forced to flee under fire, but manage to escape. During the night, Colonel Alexander's entire command is infiltrated and the liberation action begins. Most of the hostages can be transported quickly. McCoy blows up the building as support from the New World Revolutionary Organization arrives. However, Abdul escaped with a smaller portion of the hostages. Peterson finds out where Abdul is fleeing to and the commandos manage to free the remaining hostages. In this skirmish, Peterson is badly hit. McCoy is also able to eventually kill Abdul. They drive to the airport and overwhelm the guards on the plane. McCoy clears the runway and the commandos escape to Israel with the hostages. Peterson dies in flight. From Israel, Colonel Alexander immediately flies on with his troops towards home.

|  A mysterious creature from another planet, resembling a giant blob of jelly, lands on earth. The people of a nearby small town refuse to listen to some teenagers who have witnessed the blob's destructive power. In the meantime, the blob just keeps on getting bigger. Steve McQueen had the poster of this film on his bedroom wall at the time of his death. | |

|  Lock Martin, the doorman at Grauman's Chinese Theater, was cast because of his nearly seven-foot height. However, he was not a physically strong man and could not actually carry Patricia Neal, and so had to be aided by wires (in shots from the back where he's carrying her, it's actually a lightweight dummy in his arms). He also had difficulty with the heavy Gort suit and could only stay in it for about a half hour at a time. | |

| Now, I love Brosnan's version of this film, but goddman, son, this one is absolutely superb. Special mention to Michel LeGrand's brilliant soundtrack The Windmills of Your Mind.  | |

|  Airport '80 - Die Concorde (original title: The Concorde ... Airport '79; also: Airport '80 - The Concorde is the fourth and final film in a disaster film series that began with the 1970 film Airport. The film was released in German cinemas on October 25, 1979. The flight captains Metrand and Patroni fly the supersonic passenger plane Concorde, newly handed over to the American airline Federation World Airlines, from Washington via Paris to Moscow. In preparation for the Olympic Games in Moscow, a delegation of Soviet athletes, several illustrious personalities and a journalist, Maggie Whelan, are on board. Until recently, the latter was in a relationship with industrialist Kevin Harrison, chairman of the Harrison Industries armaments company. Maggie Whelan has confidential material given to her in dramatic circumstances by a former Harrison Industries employee who alleges the company was involved in illegal but top-level sanctioned arms deals, including with the Viet Cong. Willing to do anything to avoid publication, Harrison hijacks an armed drone while testing it and uses it to attack Concorde. Through extreme flight maneuvers, however, Patroni manages to keep the drone at a distance until the American Air Force succeeds in shooting it down. Harrison then informs a French partner who sends a Phantom on its way from the European side. The pilots can again save the Concorde by daring maneuvers and by using signal ammunition as decoys until French fighter pilots can eliminate the Phantom. However, the machine was so badly damaged by these incidents that a normal landing is no longer possible. Shortly before the end of the Le Bourget runway and supported by safety nets, the first stage of the flight was safely completed. As a result of these two failures, the conspirators decide to sabotage the Concorde as it flies to Moscow the next day, and hire a hired technician to fix the damage to the plane overnight to install a timer circuit on the cargo hatch. This then opens as intended the next day while the plane is over the Alps. The drop in pressure and the baggage flying around damage the fuselage so badly that the next airport can no longer be reached. So the Concorde is forced to make an emergency landing in the middle of the Alps, which succeeds on a prepared ski slope. While evacuating the passengers, Maggie is also able to salvage the documents on Kevin Harrison. In her live report from the scene of the accident, she announces the publication of the explosive information. Kevin Harrison then commits suicide on board his private plane. All passengers and crew members manage to get off the Concorde in time before it explodes in a huge fireball.

| 1939  *A little trivia... When MGM acquired the film rights to "The Wizard of Oz", Hollywood sweetheart Shirley Temple was considered a shoe-in for the role of Dorothy. Her subsequent audition was thought to be a formality, but a huge problem was revealed. According to the 1990 documentary "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: The Making of a Movie Classic", Temple's singing voice was considered too weak for the demanding musical numbers, and the producers rejected her. | |

| Superb Movie 🎥 Trivia Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason established a friendship on the set. At one point, Newman got a little cocky about his newfound pool skills and challenged the much more experienced Gleason to a $50 bet on a game. Newman broke, then it was Gleason's turn. He knocked all 15 balls in and Newman never got another shot. Gleason recalled that the next day Newman paid him off with 5000 pennies. | |
