It's movie time on TB2K again. Here are a variety of movies to help kick back from the real world if only for a few hours.
I'm putting each in a separate post. That should make it easier to comment, discuss, or like a specific choice.
The movie mix comes from youtube and archive.org. I doubt that will change in the future.
Click on an individual movie poster if you would like to see it full size.
Click the "movies" tag at top to see a list of previous movie threads.
The movie trailers are located in post #6.
Enjoy the Show!

Considering current news, this link to Steven King's The Stand might still be of interest: PLAY - TB2K Movies - Steven King's THE STAND (1994) - DAMNATION ALLEY (1977) - THE DAY AFTER (1983) and others
Again, I tried to find Contagion from 2011, but no luck. It's a good, accurate, kind of scary film about China Flu.

The first movie this week is The Professionals. I've been looking for a high quality version of this 1966 western/adventure film for several months and finally found it last night. Only personal favorites get that kind of research time and this is a good one. This South of the border adventure is set in early 1900's Mexico. The big stars were Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Woody Strode, Jack Palance, Ralph Bellamy, and Claudia Cardinale. Most of them were WW2 vets and most did their own stunts in the film.
A wealthy Texas oilman hires four professional soldiers, each with their own special skills, to retrieve his kidnapped wife from Raza, a Mexican revolutionary and bandit who is demanding $100,000 for her return. Two of the men know Raza from their own days fighting with Pancho Villa during the Mexican revolutionary war.
