The Alamo with Billy Bob Thornton on the Western Channel tonight!

[Phil C]

It is on from 7 P.M. to 9:20 P.M. This is a great movie and Thornton is great as Davy Crockett. If you can't watch it set the recorder. A great movie indeed. If you miss it tonight you can catch it on the Western Channel (529 on Direct TV) again as it is shown several times. Just consult your Western Channel or tv guides.

Way to go Super! Maybe you can eventually post where you are so we can watch out for you but of course that may not be possible with so many there. But good work anyway!

i actually got to visit the set of this movie all thanks to my cousin who was the art director for it.

i was told Tom Hanks was wanted to play Davey...however thanks to other obligations of his he had to decline. Even Viggo was looked at for playing some part in this movie [but alas...New Zealand was more interesting--and earned him the Aragon title...so eh..]
