The Rocketeer -Cable TV- *****
This is easily one of my all time favorite movies. I could watch this movie again right now. I had put this one off for years and years and I can't imagine why. It's got a great story, great action, brilliant music, wonderful set design and a couple of perfectly cast villains.
I love the Bulldog Cafe, I love the destruction of the "land" in the Hollywoodland sign, I love the flight at a blimp, I love this movie.
What an exciting film.
If you are like me and haven't seen it, here is the plot:
Howard Hughes created a jet pack but it's now lost. A young man finds it and ultimately becomes a superhero. Some mafioso, Nazis, FBI and others are trying to get it back. Fantastic!
Set in Hollywood in 1938.

I saw this one in the theatres but haven't seen it since. I remember enjoying it a great deal and could never understand why it didn't do better at the box office or get more attention.
