I second the Josey Wales, dying aint much of a living boy. . A close second fav is Hoosiers.

 

[mazdarotary]

I would have to say "Office Space" is my favorite movie. It is very well written,and shows what life in a cubicle is like. After that I would say Pulp Fiction is a close second. Then maybe "Jaws" that ia a classic. Then there is a whole bunch of comedies that I like. Aww ^%$# I can't pick just one movie. I love movies. Now you will have me thinking all day about what my favorite movie is.

Mike,

You are the first person to mention a John Wayne movie. I say Clint Eastwood Movies are heads and tails over any John Wayne Movie. what yall say

 

[Mike Ellis]

I like Eastwood movies, he is one of my favorite actors and I still enjoy watching him in the old "Rawhide" episodes. The Outlaw Josie Wales is one of my top 2 or 3 favorite movies - watched it a dozen times or more on laserdisc. I love the "Every Which Way but Loose" movies and the Dirty Harry series too.



The Duke put out a bunch of good old-fashioned enjoyable movies. His movies were often formulaic, but they were from a time when people believed in happy endings, kept the gore to a minimum, and tried to have more clear cut good/bad character division.



Other Favorite John Wayne movies:

- Big Jake

- Sons of Katie Elder

- McClintock

- The Quiet Man

- The Green Berets

- She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

- The Alamo

- The Shootist

- Rooster Cogburn



I enjoy a lot of movies that are SLAMMED by the critics. I actually like the old Elvis movies, and a lot of the John Wayne movies. Just yesterday we watched "North to Alaska" on DirecTV, enjoyed it just as much as I did when I saw it as a young boy. Some other Westerns that are stuck in the memory:



- Maverick

- McKenna's Gold

- The Wild Bunch

- That movie with Charles Bronson and the Samurai guy, name of it escapes me at the moment "One mosquito... ZIP... No mosquito!"

- Silverado

- The Quick and the Dead (yeah I know, but boy she looked good in that gunslinger outfit)

 

[rrausch]

Ditto's for Braveheart!

Also for John Wayne's version of The Alamo!

 

[GHinton]

A few of mine, non western.



"The Patriot" -If you take out that goofy gullah wedding scene



"Gladiator" -pretty strong.



"Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" Good movie, great soundtrack.

 

[DKayser]

Also for John Wayne's version of The Alamo!

Amen! Even though it is historically somewhat inaccurate, I have loved this film since I saw it in the theatres as a small lad. How many kids cried when the Lancer gored Davy Crockett? I recently went to San Antonio, so naturally I went to the "real Alamo" while there. A very humbling experience. I also went to the 1960 movie set The Duke built for his film. Wow! The original is a sobering experience, but the set, now that was fun. The quality of the original construction is in stark contrast to the repairs made for later use. No wonder the Alec Baldwin version stunk when compared to the 1960 version even though some aspects are more historically accurate. If you are a history buff, especially if you are fascinated by the Texas revolution, Go see it before it falls apart. It is looking frail after nearly 50 years. It is/was a trip. DK.

Ponder,

Thats from the movie that very, very loosely describes "liver eatin Johnsons" life story. "you've done well to keep your hair for so long pilgrim"

By the way, that is the name of the book than was written about his life and from direct interviews of his friends, associates and enemys. He was one he double toothpick of a man. More than good reading. Fasinating reading and explodes alot of myths about the old west.

Everybody seems to forget "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" and "Terror of Tinytown"... ... ... LOL



Final Countdown finally came out on DVD... ... a must see

 

[moparguy]

jponder or willystover, you may need to help my failing memory with the exact quote, a good friend and I used to use this one, a question at the end of the movie, " What month you reacon it is", "April, no, May".



Then there was the Eagle flying overhead and the discussion about how long it'd take him to reach the mountain range miles away, "Hell, he's already there".



Great movie.

 

[moparguy]

Lonesome Dove, even if it was a TV movie. All except the snakes at the river crossing.



Some of the best lines this side of Clint Eastwood and the Duke.



"I don't tolerate rude behavior in a man"



I may have to search out a DVD version to go with the long play tape we've got.
