I saw this in the theater in 1982. Clint Eastwood steals a prototype Russian fighter.

Good clip, I don't think I ever saw that movie. Nobody squints like Clint :-)

I seen it years ago. I saw a clip on YT but it isn't carried by any of my providers. Might go look for it in a second hand dvd store here.

I haven't so much as handled a DVD in years now. I used to make them from downloaded shows to watch at my friend's place (we had a little lounge set up in the tool shed with a heater, TV, DVD player etc.) but he's gone now. I don't have any optical drives on this system (but still have one on the other desk if I ever need to read or burn a disc). My case doesn't have provisions for them, even. At the time I was concerned about that, but haven't missed it. There's a TV in the basement room across the hall, and when my nephew stays over we watch shows on my Raspberry Pi 5 device (aarch64 port of EndeavourOS Linux and I use VLC, which is the player that seems to have the best acceleration on that hardware)

I have a small collection of dvds that I use in the camper. If the campground wifi isn't fast enough and phone reception is spotty, We'll have something to watch if necessary. I need to replace the player in the camper.....

For the most part, we have had decent luck with campground wifi or phone reception.
