Just wondered if anyone knows what movies were watched on the show...
This sounds like a strange thread, but give it a thought:
- Of course, Stalag 17 comes to mind.
- In I Do? (S03E16) Magnum watches Gunga Din.

Anything else - and does he ever watch anything besides black and white classics?

Of course, the Maltese Falcon would be POSSIBLE, with Magnum repeatedly referring to Dashiell Hammett, as well as the other Bogart classic of classics, Casablanca.

But do they actually pop up?
And does anything else?

Let's see if something comes to your minds...

In addition to those that you have mentioned, Magnum is also seen watching these:

The Murder at the Vicarage (1930) - Case of the Red Faced Thespian
The Bad Sister (1931) - Flashback
The Hunters (1958) - Solo Flight
"Woodpecker in the Rough" (1952) - Treasure of Kalaniopuu

Mentioned, but not seen:

The Magnificent Seven (1960) - Infinity and Jelly Doughnuts
Julie (1956) - On the Fly
Airport (1970) - On the Fly
Airplane (1980) - On the Fly
The Maltese Falcon (1941) - A.A.P.I.
Key Largo (1948) - The Big Blow

(and from Legend of the Lost Art):
The Treasure of the Sierre Madre (1948)
North by Northwest (1959)
Bad Day at Black Rock (1955)
King Soloman's Mines (1950, the Stewart Granger version)
Raiders of Ghost City (1944)
The Perils of Pauline (1947)
Perils of Nyoka, aka "Nyoka and the Lost Secrets of Hippocrates" (1942)

I'm sure there are others that I have missed.

Shocked Thank you - that's quite an impressive list ... and I do not figure you just watched all the episode to make sure, so I almost feel like a complete ignoramus to have dared ask the question... Smile

Should be interesting to see if anyone else comes up with an addition...

Did he ever watch the Bridge on the River Kwai? I can't remember, but it would've been an approriate one!
