How many days a week does AMC re-run "Midway?"
I swear, American Movie Classics must run that movie with it's over-use of WW2 footage, and re-used shots from "Tora! Tora! Tora!" at least 2-3 times each week.

They just ran it again today.

2. The funny part is some of it's not even WWII footage.
There's a stock footage scene of a plane crashing on a carrier deck that's obviously from the Korean War.

For reference: This is a F4 Wildcat, typical US Navy fighter during the battle of Midway:



This is an F2H2 Banshee, the plane from the stock footage scene:



:rofl:

3. When I was in college, AMC re-ran Ice Station Zebra a lot.

At least that was a decent movie. Borgnine, Rock Hudson, Patrick McGoohan, Jim Brown...

7. Well, the demographic that watches AMC does skew older.
They just forget they just watched it on Sunday.
