I watched:

Code Name: Emerald (TCM) 1985 WWII movie starring Eric Stoltz as an 
American POW being held by Nazis who are trying to trick him into 
revealing plans for D-Day.  The allies planted a fake medical report 
that keeps the Nazis from torturing him.  Ed Harris stars as a double 
agent brought in by the Nazis to trick Stoltz into revealing the plans. 
Max von Sydow and Patrick Stewart are also featured.  I never heard of 
this movie before now.  TCM ran a bunch of D-Day movies for the 
anniversary of D-Day and this one looked interesting.  I watched mainly 
for the cast but It held my interest well enough.


The Cincinnati Kid (TCM) 1965 movie starring Steve McQueen as a young 
card player who goes up against a seasoned pro played by Edward G. 
Robinson in a high stakes game of poker.  It was an OK movie but the 
ending seemed very abrupt.
