I never forgot the original movie Joe. In 1970 I was stationed in Korea at a little airfield on the DMZ and I only saw two movies that year. Our chaplain got permission to show movies in an empty quonset hut that wasn't being used. One movie was Mash, which seemed kind of strange since we were in Korea a half a mile from the medical unit that it was based on, and the other movie was Joe with Peter Boyle. I never saw Joe again on TV or anywhere else until I rented it from Netflix about 5 years ago and it was still just as powerful.
