Movie - Final Countdown in English on now :)

[iafirebuff]

I was cleaning up some channels tongiht, and came across the movie The Final Countdown in English! I love this movie! Anyway I found it on IA5/G25 on the channel Assyriasat. No subtitles and no commercials! In case your interested, this movie is about the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz that gets sent back in time to the days before Pearl Harbor. It is interesting watching 1980's fighter planes taking on Japenese Zeros

I remember that movie, It's been awhile since I've seen that. I loved the F-14 tomcats against the Japanese Zeros

It now has a lady playing a keyboard or harp or something..... says KBES- KBSV and a phone # here in the states. She is speaking a foreign language. Interesting.

OK, call me a nerd...I just called the number...the lady on TV answered in foreign language, I said "hello" she spoke english. I told her I love their station. She said the are broadcasting from Celinas? California. She asked where I was calling from, I told her. I know...boy I am a nerd. My daughter and I was watching the lady on tv as she talked to me hehe.

I really liked that movie. My favorite part was at the end where the now older couple go to meet the ship. I love those kinds of "things" in the movies that have dealt with time travel.

Maybe I should get around to moving some of those foriegn language channels to the favorite list that we usually use, which is all basically the stuff that's usually 100% English...

Yes, The Final Countdown is one of my all-time favorite time travel movies, just behind the Back to the Future series! Very interesting premise, and well written/acted
