The Philadelphia Experiment

Oh God! Not another one! I know the movie. I thought it was good! Something like, "The San Fransisco Experiment", or summat, wasn't it?

EDIT: No, hang on, it was more like, "The Philadelphia Experiment", I think... or maybe that was the cheese advert...

If someone doesn't get this I won't be having much sleep tonight! :shucks:

EDIT: It is The Philadelphia Experiment so added to the list. :thumbs:

Whatever would we do without Google?

"The Cruel Sea", (Jack Hawkins et al ), The Ship That Died of Shame( ex MTB used for smuggling after demob) and before all fellow Scots get in "The Vital Spark " And "Whisky Galore" (which is about to be re-made) . "Raise the Titanic" expensive flop. Subs are boats so..."We Dive at Dawn"....and the pink sub , was it "Operation Petticoat" ? "Mutiny on the Bounty" and the funny other mutiny where Jack Lemmon throws Capt Quweek`s palm tree overboard. Forget the title. Jeez I watch a lot of films !

Are you sure the palm tree overboard wasn't "The Caine Mutiny"? The one about the time travelling aircraft carrier was "The Final Countdown" (1980) with Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen

Nope Kiwi, I remember the Caine Mutiny, Humphery Bogart played a tough USN captain on a rather sloppy ship. He had the habit of rolling ball-bearings through his fingers, a trick my elder brother tried to emulate but never succeeded. My father reckoned a conjurer/magican`s hands were used for the close-ups. Cant remember anything else about the film except it ended with a court-martial. Black and white ..the palm tree film was in colour and very lightweight . " :fish2:...what Palm tree ?"

Adzam...that film you mentioned with the aircraft carrier going back through time was "The Final Countdown" with Kirk Douglas and Michael Sheen...where they sail through the storm and end up back in 1942 just prior to Pearl Harbour...... I have it here on DVD. I mentioned it on the Aviation movies post because of the flying bits.

You can all sleep easy now :D

Regards............Mark
