I freaking love Rocketeer. Idea, setting, artdeco style...

Why, oh, why it didn't become something HUGE?

[XephinaTheEleven]

The score for The Rocketeer is so beautiful...and my favorite film score by far!

[Johnrl]

Film that is definitely worth is phenomenal as well

[noahfortner]

The theme music for this movie made a cameo in Star Wars Rebels (the composer, Kevin Kiner, loves acknowledging classic scores)

[WilliamSteelheart]

And heck, the climax has the mafia and the police teaming up to fight the nazis. What's not to love?

[paulleow]

I just saw this movie, and it was fantastic!

[BitterMillenial]

Man I haven't watched this one in years and I loved this one as a kid.

[DeadRider]

Looks like quite a fun film to be honest

[ajet]

Awesome movie! One of my favorites from when I was a kid!

I was watching The Last Crusade today and something came to my mind:

Would anybody else want to see Joe Johnstone (director of The Rocketeer, Captain America) direct an Indiana Jones movie?

[deathbykslimes]

This is one of my all-time favorite movies.

[Kuro]

Also forgot to mention that the music is, fantastic! Well... it does go without saying. Has that sort of Americana/aviation vibe that I could easily listen to along with the 'Patton' soundtrack.

[skabcat]

I am shocked this movie hasn't been remade.

[Abazigal]

Yes, Jennifer Connelly might not have had a big name at the time but she had a couple of big things in the movie.

[Opalance]

Oh dude, the timing! I just bought EVERY Rocketeer comic last week and got them in th email today.

[bavtie]

Freaking love this movie: the caracters, the story, the setting, the directing, the soundtrack. All great stuff! I wish this was more popular than it turned out to be

[getmario]

"The Rocketeer" is a great adventure movie. It was the same director who did "Captain America: The First Avenger, " which can be interesting and feels like a "Indiana Jones" territory. Overall, great movie.

[AGrayPhantom]

When I'm watching a movie about a rocketeer, I wanna see him flying around and doing rocketeer stuff. This movie delivers just that.

[ohthepeppers]

This and _The Shadow_ make a great double-bill.

[jmsg_PR]

I just saw the movie yesterday and it was just awesome. And the main villain is Great.
