And wow.
Pictured: Badassus Pilotus
I mean, 98% on Rotten Tomatoes is hard to get, and this is one of he best films I’ve seen in a long time, if not one of the best I’ve ever seen. I’m a history buff, and this movie just hit me where I live, man.
Also, Chuck Yeager is on a level of badass nearly unattainable by mankind.

You do realize that the old bartender at Poncho’s is General Yeager right?

Yup. The dude talking about the movie before they played it (PBS, channel 13) mentioned that.

These films were nominated for Best Picture that year:
Terms of Endearment (winner)
Remember The Dresser? Yeah, me neither. Sam Shepherd was nominated for best supporting actor, but lost out to Jack Nicholson in Terms of Endearment. I can understand that one.

It’s one of my favorite films.

So good.

It is a great movie. Not perfect, but there is some amazing stuff in it. They over stuff Yeager a bit. He was awesome and cocky, but that whole borrowing a F-104 was a bit much. Scott Glenn was awesome as Shepard and Fred Ward as Grissom made my day.
