And our pal Dean Mora was an adviser in the film's production. Check the credits!                   

                     And yet another fun one that I just saw - The Rocketeer.  Great 1930s serial adventure style movie that takes place in Hollywood, complete with flyboys, Nazis, G-men, and of course, a PG-rated romance.                   

                     Oooh, thanks for the suggestions!

I have quite a list of vintage movies I am trying to see, but unfortunately most of the rental places DON'T CARRY THEM!!  (Horrors!)  I rent what I can, and I am planning to buy many of them (e-bay).  I will take a look and see if I can find the 3 movies listed above.  I forgot all about the Rocketeer.  I wanted to see that.

Other decent era movies, I think, were October Sky and Forever Young.  (Forever Young still makes me cry.)

Nys.                   

                     I loved October Sky!

Nyssa, you should check out your public libraries; often they have a good selection of old movies & newer releases that were not as commercially successful as the ones still at Blockbuster.  And best of all, you can "rent" them for free!                   

                     for a fun but awful retro flick try streets of fire with diane lane and michael pare. lots of slick 50's style clothes and pretty decent soundtrack, and an appearance by the Blasters. if you can stand sittin through a lousy plot and bad acting, its worth it
