Just watched Major League.
Last night it was one of my favorite 1970s movies, Catch 22. Complete and unedited.
While a shadow of the book it's still a good movie. The movie is credited with saving the last 16 B-25s in existence at the time, 1970, they had 17 but used one that wasn't really airworthy for the crash and burn scene.
Although eclipsed by MASH I liked Catch 22 better. Whereas MASH was just a series of vignettes of a year in the unit, Catch 22 actually has a story although it could be a little hard to follow if you haven't read the book.
"It's an egg, sir!"
