First up this week is THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX. This 1965 desert survival movie stars James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, Hardy Kruger, Ernest Borgnine, and Peter Finch.
- A routine flight in an old flying box car with a broken radio, carrying a group of tired oil workers and worn out tools, encounters a fierce sand storm in the Sahara desert. The men are hundreds of miles from rescue, and nobody knows where they are. With zero chance of rescue and a 10 days supply of water, the group is forced to make a decision. Wait to die or build a flyable airplane using the salvaged parts of the wrecked flying boxcar.

The second movie is THE WORLD MADE STRAIGHT. This 2015 drama stars Noah Wyle (of the TV show ER fame -254 episodes!). Filmed in Asheville, NC, the scenery is stunning. This is a gritty drama about life for an older teen in early 1970's Appalachia. It's also about an adult (Wyle) who grew up there, made it out then lost everything, and is learning to live again.
- In a rural Appalachian community haunted by the legacy of a Civil War massacre, a rebellious young man struggles to escape the violence that would bind him to the past.

The third movie is DARK ANGEL. This 1990 Dolph Lundgren film is about a smart cop trying to stop an alien drug dealer while saddled with a by-the-book young FBI agent. You might remember the movie tagline: I COME IN PEACE. It has good action, interesting weapons, interesting people, and a new drug that the galaxy can not be allowed to learn about.
- Jack Caine (Dolph Lundgren) is a Houston vice cop who's forgotten the rule book. His self-appointed mission is to stop the drug trade and the number one supplier Victor Manning. While involved in an undercover operation to entrap Victor Manning, his partner gets killed, and a sinister newcomer enters the scene... Along with F.B.I. agent Lawrence Smith, the two investigate a spate of mysterious deaths; normal non-junkies dying of massive heroin overdoses and bearing the same horrific puncture marks on the forehead. This, coupled with Caine's own evidence, indicates an alien force is present on the streets of Houston, killing and gathering stocks of a rare drug found only in the brain... Caine is used to fighting the toughest of criminals, but up to now they've all been human.

The last few films are 1960's Christmas TV favorites: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, The Little Drummer Boy, A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965 version), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966 version).
These are all on www.archive.org. I provide 2 links to play each show. The first should take you there and probably start the movie. If the first link doesn't work, try clicking the second link. It'll open that page on archive.org, but you'll have to click the start arrow once or twice to start the video. Once started, click the button to expand to full screen.
Last week, we discovered that older Internet Explorer browsers may have issues with archive.org. My 2 suggestions for that are a different browser (I use firefox) or download the file and once complete, play as a file using windows media player.
