A Movie A Day: Quint on SANDS OF IWO JIMA (1949)You know, my natural dislike for you is turning into a great hatred.

My DVD collection is thousands strong, many of them films I haven't seen yet, but picked up as I scoured used DVD stores. Each day I'll pull a previously unseen film from my collection and discuss it here. Each movie will have some sort of connection to the one before it, be it cast or crew member.] | Ain't It Cool News
