Streamers (1983)
Transit quarters for replacements being sent to Viet Nam and the emotions that are brought out by the tension of waiting and their feelings when one of them admits he is gay.
I went to Viet Nam in 1971 as a replacement. I spent time in just such a scenario and except for the gay issue which would not have been discussed so openly, it was very realistic in it's description of the emotional interaction of the soldiers.
I felt they put more focus on the gay issue than needed. there should have been more focus on the war and how they expected to react in it. I don't think we know what their occupational specialties are but these soldiers are not all green trainees. a couple have been in a while and have rank and qualifications as Specialist 4.
It is a great character study in any case.
Executive Suite (1954)
Best movie showing the Board of directors and their behind the scenes manipulations.
This film should be mandatory viewing by every CEO,CFO and Executive board in the United States. If they can't hold them self up to the ethical standard set by "Mac" Walling, they need to resign. Every one who sides with Shaw needs to be fired. Perhaps there would have been no Enron scandal if we used this film as a guide for our Corporate ethics.
The words in the board room speech given by Mr. Walling are just as true today as they were in 1954. "You can't make men work for money alone--you starve their souls when you try it, and you can starve a company to death the same way." I am excited each time I see it. It renews my faith in the business world that a man with ethics will take control of the company for the good of the employees, the customers, and the stockholders. If a company manufactures a product, it's first loyalty is to the customers who buy the product. The employees and the share holders will receive the rewards if they are due.
