The Tenth Level

Inspired by the Stanley Milgram obedience research, this TV movie chronicles a psychology professor's study to determine why people, such as the Nazis, were willing to "just follow orders" and do horrible things to others. Professor Stephen Turner leads students to believe that they are applying increasingly painful electric shocks to other subjects when they fail to perform a task correctly, and is alarmed to see how much pain the students can be convinced to inflict "in the name of science."

Believe it or not, that's what we were aiming for. I wanted to create the same feeling I had after leaving the movie Platoon.

The Final Countdown

During routine manoeuvres near Hawaii in 1980, the aircraft-carrier USS Nimitz is caught in a strange vortex-like storm, throwing the ship back in time to 1941—mere hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

There was a movie, I think they did it in late 1970s or 1908 I think it came out called The Final Countdown. And it’s relatively horrible as a movie goes. But it doesn’t matter. The story is about what if a modern aircraft carrier went back to the eve of the Pearl Harbor attack.

It's why the story concept behind the movie Field of dreams so intrigues me. I'd love to meet my father and grandfather and have us all be 28 years old at the same time.

- What is a good movie about ww1? Just binge listened to “blueprint for Armageddon” and I can’t get enough. - If you find it, let me know. I don't think it's been made yet. The Canadians have a decent one about Passchendaele I think…
