LIFE - Movies

It's funny. There are two movies that I have seen on DVD, that I was immediately inspired to watch again with the commentaries after watching the first time. They were Men of Honour (Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert De Niro) and K:19 The Widowmaker (Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson). Both are movies inspired by true stories (And naval stories at that), and both are movies that received lukewarm receptions from the public and critics. An example being, that K-19 (The first feature film produced by National Geographic - Among other things, best mag in the whole world), cost US$100,000,000.00 to produce and only brought in US$35,000,000.00 at the box office (Hope it’s brought in a bit from DVD sales). Both are movies I'd recommend.
