My Goddddddd this brings back memories. I am starting to reflect on all of the GREATEST ACTORS, DIRECTORS, simple yet compelling stories or movies that even kids could watch in the later 60's - 80's. I miss Telly Savalas, Steve McQueen, Ryan O'Neal, George C. Scott, John Wayne, Charles Bronson. If we could have more shows that reflected more of a moral obligation to be better people it would be the greatest accomplishment or tribute to our society we could give.

@newrulz2005 Fact is JFK was pro war and anti-homosexual. And if JFK were alive today he would be considered a right wing conservative. Just read about him and his beliefs and his policies. But then again you are a liberal and facts, common sense and the truth do get in the way of your brainwashing.

A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today's military rejects include tomorrow's hard-core unemployed.

@nytmstr did you know that Lee Marvin was a liberal Democrat. He opposed the Vietnam War and declared his support for the gay rights movement in a January 1969 interview with Playboy magazine? He publicly endorsed John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election. Facts never mean much to you republicants, do they?

There can in now way be a comparison of the real actors of years gone by and the liberal Anti-American scum today.

6:11 So glad Violent Saturday got a shout - that is one helluva under-rated movie - if you are a fan of Lee Marvin I urge you to watch it.... 20th Century Fox, 1955.
