A mini-series is coming soon based on Joseph Heller's, Catch-22. But, I'll not be watching it. The real/original is a true masterpiece. Here's a review of the new version.
I have the DVD and have read the book several times. In fact, I can remember how I first learned of the book. It was about 1964 and I was stationed at an airbase in Columbus, Ohio. I was enrolled in an on-base psychology class taught by a teacher from Ohio University (yes, Ohio State is in Columbus, OU is in Athens). The professor said Catch-22 was a truly important book and should be read by everyone. And, most of us would agree. You'll find it on all of the must-read and best-ever lists.
If you haven't read it, rush out and get a copy and get a copy of the DVD.
Here's a trailer from the original. Watch to the end where all of the stars are listed.
Read and watch (the original) Catch-22!!!!
