I didn't see anyone mention "12 Oclock High" :mrgreen:
Just saw it again. A GREAT movie! From back in the time when Hollywood would show the USA in a good light.

Is Catch 22 any good? I read the book and liked the story and theme but not how it was told exactly. Is the movie very close to the book?
