Movie Mania!
Merril's Marauders - Sam Fuller directed this account of the attempts of the US Army to capture Burma in the Second World War after being driven out by the Japanese. For a film made in 1961, it's pretty dark and fairly accurate in its portrayal of the brutal conditions that the marines undergo just to get to the fighting - typhus, malaria, starvation - and Fuller's ability with action is ever-present. I'm not sure if it's quite as entertaining as another film on the subject, the earlier Errol Flynn-starrer Objective Burma! but it's a whole lot more credible.
Airport '77 - Thieves try to steal valuable artwork onboard a commercial airplane only for things to go wrong and the plane crash into the sea and sink to the depths. Jack Lemmon stars as the captain tasked with rescuing everyone on board before they all drown. A good cast - Christopher Lee, Joseph Cotten, James Stewart, and Olivia de Havilland - make the dumb stuff worth watching, which is more than can be said for...
The Concorde...Airport '79 - Which doesn't have a great cast - unless you count Robert Wagner and Sylvia Kristel as good - and is even more implausible than its predecessors. Here, Robert Wagner is desperate to destroy an airplane which carries with it information that will implicate him in an illegal arms deal, so he employs a whole manner of tactics in the attempt. Despite its silliness, it never approaches the kind of dumb fun that can be had with the rest of the series.
