Check out this collection of PH clips set to my personal favorite love song, "Pearl Harbor Sucked (and I Miss You)" Listen carefully to the lyrics and you'll understand why...

Sorry Hellcat but I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you. "Saving Private Ryan" grossed $216 M in box office receipts while "Pearl Harbor" grossed $198 M. Micheal Bay may be doing well but Steven Spielberg is the second most successful filmmaker of all time despite some of Micheal Bay's successes.

I have been around the block a few times myself.

I happen to have a feeling that this production team may try and redeem itself with a much more realistic aviation movie in the not so distant future...

Well, she's still kept you, she can't be that perfect ....

Ouch!!!! .... that was wrong, I'll take that back ....

"Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway."

Very true indeed, but in overall sales ... talking DVD's, rentals, etc, .... PH will surpass SPR, if not already, soon. .... and comparing Bay and Spielberg is like comparing ... Britney Spears to Angelina Jolie ... ... one's hot, ones got a bald head ....

But I do get your point ... well taken

Pearl Harbor took in $450 m in total revenue
Saving Private Ryan took in $480 m in total revenue

Pearl Harbor had a budget of $132 m
Saving Private Ryan had a budget of $70 m

Both of the movies are likely to continue similar trends in DVD sales and if I was to venture a guess i would bet that Private Ryan DVD sales are higher on an annual basis.

The best thing that came out of Pearl Harbor is the DVD cover and posters most of which were designed by my friend. Also pleased that Aero Trader, Westpac were able to make some money to keep their birds flying.

You win!!! .... I lose .... ... I posted this on another thread, but it seems to work here as well, ... BTW ... is your last name Spielberg or Hanks? .... just funnin with ya,

I know that todays movie set has to have more than just one thing going for the attention deficit movie crowd. Simple well told stories just do not seem to fly anymore. How many times have they made a great movie that did not make a dime and some total flaming dung heat like PH with some much fluff that actually sold tickets, heck, I even bought the DVD, but only at the great discounted price of only $5 bucks!

Memphis Belle had a crew that would have fit right in at McDonalds, nobody got along, always trying to outdo each other, all except for the emo kid at the back window/tailgun position. If they would have tried to play it straight nobody would have cared because it would have been ten guys just doing their jobs.

The movie may have been better if they would have used people who could actually act a little or fake it well.

I watched if for the planes and that is the only reason I even bothered to buy the DVD. As for Saving Pvt. Ryan, that is mandatory watching every Memorial Day since I got the movie on DVD.

We need a Saving Pvt. Ryan for the warbird crowd.

Give me those Tank Buster P-51's!!!

Stay tuned...
