My crowd here in Atlanta is going tonight at 8:10. There are eight of us going so far. I don't usually recommend movies to people because if they don't like it they come back take it out on you. But I have probably talked to 50 or 60 people about it. Enjoy the movie everybody.

I'll be seeing it tonight--opeining night, and taking the Queen of Science with me. I don't have a lot of other WWI enthusiasts that I know personally in the area, so I really haven't been able to enthuse anyone locally.

In the past week, I've subbed six high school phys ed classes of 45 students each. After I called the roll, I plugged the movie and told the students that I'd put a star on the roll sheet next to the names (in the next class I have them in) of anyone who goes to see it.

Overall, I'm very uncertain about seeing the movie. I just don't know if I'll be able to shut my mind up for that long. Though, I've been contemplating seeing it, especially since my family showed some interest. But, I won't have time to see it until about two weeks from now. Gotta love college

My year long "Christmas Eve" is over as today I will get to see this
movie. I have already purchased my ticket for the 4PM today, and
will skip out from the last hour of work to make it. I told as many
people as I could about it and actually got some interest rolling around
here. All I can ask for is a little bit of Theatrical entertainment mixed
with some historical accuracy.

Hi all, new member here If you want to see a review of the movie, check the www.rottentomatoes.com For now it's rotten 36%. Tells something about the Flyboys (stupid name by the way, what they were thinking ) Movie is produced by the same guy that produced Patriot and Independence Day (horrible movies both)
That's a reason enough for me to pass this movie.

That's right Bordeaux Beau! Merry Christmas!

I'm taking my wife and son tonight. My son has been jazzed to see the film since meeting David Ellison at the Flyboys promotion at the Indianapolis Air Show. He has been plugging the film to his classmates and friends at his school.
