C22
Catch 22 – The film of an unfilmable novel, full of great cameos from a dozen well-known names like Alan Arkin (as main character John Yossarian), Bob Newhart, Jon Voight, Buck Henry, Art Garfunkel, Martin Sheen and many more. Great airplane shots, with dozens and dozens of bombers taking off. First five minutes show silent credits, dawn in the mountains, airplanes, eventually show humans, and then the movie picks up. Very artsy. Kafka-esque plot about paranoia and insanity. Great shot of 20 bombers taking off. Casual plane crash. Uses “Thus Sprach Zarathustra” two years after Kubrick did in 2001: A Space Odyssey. “You’re a very weird person, Yossarian” sums up the film. Plane prop blasts guy on platform. Airfield destruction.
