It'd be hard to find a more successful movie - at least upon release - than Miramax's "The English Patient."

On World War II Movie Night we like to look past the luster. Does TEP hold up? Is it an actual WWII movie? Join us as we ponder the deeper questions... Asides include the shenanigans of Harvey Weinstein, "Seinfeld" as a cultural barometer, and the weird connetion between TEP and an obsucre, 1981 slasher-in-the-woods flick.  Drop us a line at [email protected] Check out our X/Twitter at http://twitter.com/WWIIMovieNight
