Black Friday..........

Robert Shaw is a mossad agent who whacks the arab terrorists.

Raid on Entebbe was also good.

Exodus is the best. Followed by Cast a Giant Shadow then Fiddler on the Roof.

He wrote the Man in the Glass Booth, BTW.

His best role was the blond assassin Grant in 007's From Russia With Love.

Anyone ever see the movie 'Hester Street' ?

Small budget film shot in black and white about a Jewish couple going through a divorce on the Lower East Side of Manhattan around the turn of the century.

Nice mixture of comedy and drama with interesting cultural and historical observations.

In the comedy/romance genre, I enjoyed 'Crossing Delancy'.

The Jewish grandmother was a hoot.

A Walk on the Moon, and Dirty Dancing. Both Catskills movies worth a look. I'm always reminded of going to Kutscher's when watching these!

You know, I'd like to see a movie about Eli Cohen or even a histography of Rabbi Meir Kahane...  That would be a real treat...  A movie about the 6 Day War would be good... O0

Really, I've read the book "Our Man in Damascus"...  I was unaware it was made into a movie.  I think with today's technological resources a movie of that sort would be just fabulous...

Yes, Bugsy is a great gangster film as well.  You're right, I forgot Pesci wasn't Jewish in Once Upon A Time In America, but DeNiro, the main character, was Jewish.  Brighten Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues were pretty good comedies, although Neil Simon's nebishy humor could be borderline self-hating to some.  Woody Allen films clearly fall into this category.

I wish they would do more films about the Irgun, The Stern Gang, Betar or heros like Jabotinsky, Begin, Shlomo Ben Joseph, Dov Shilanksy, Jonathan Pollard or Rehavam Ze'evi.

Our tragadies are well documented, it's time some of our defenders were as well!

Oh yeah, I also forgot Rocky 3 when we found out Mickey was Jewish.  Too bad it was at his funeral service.  Priceless seeing Stallone try to speak Hebrew.
