Movies

Let's talk movies; what you like, dislike, plan to watch, etc.

Today, since both my wife and myself like the Duke, we're seeing Legend of the Lost, Brannigan, Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo, and then Big Jake.

I like Stephen King's The Stand. I refer to the 1994 mini-series not the 2020 version.

Anyone else?

I do like old movies, especially westerns and crime drama/mysteries but I don't watch much TV so I rarely see one anymore.

However, I have watched a few shows on my phone on Amazon Prime and BritBox.

Two series that I really enjoyed was "The Man in High Castle" and The Americans", both on Amazon.

I enjoy watching "Silent Witness" on BritBox.

I haven't been to a movie in over ten years, we are 45 miles from the closest theater.

Big Jake, The Cowboys and The Quiet Man are my favs but like just about any John Wayne movie.

M O O N, that spells moon.

Only only movie that i can think of that shows Shiner Bock. The two old guys on the front porch at the beginning are drinking it.

The Quiet Man

When the wife is acting unreasonable, I suggest we sit down together and watch this.

Spaceballs....

Are you as excited as I am, with Rick Moranis coming out of retirement for the new one?

Yes. But if they don't name it "Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money" I'll be upset.

Used to like the Spaghetti Westerns, but watch "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" and "For A Few Dollars More" and realized I like more realism in movies now. So "Unforgiven", "The Outlaw Josey Walew", "Tombstone", "Ride With The Devil" and "Wyatt Earp" are at the top of my list for Westerns. As far as John Wayne, "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon" is my fave.

As far as westerns go, my favorites are (in no specific order)

• Unforgiven
• Magnificent Seven (with Denzel Washington, 2016)
• Magnificent Seven (original, 1956)
• Purgatory: West of the Pecos (1999)
• Quigley Down Under
• The Last Samurai (2003) Yeah, I know....technically not a western, because it takes place in Japan. But the themes could be easily translated into a western.

The 1950's were the Golden Age of sci-fi movies.

Them!
The Thing from Another World
War of the Worlds
World Without End
The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms
Target Earth
The Creature from the Black Lagoon
Tarantula
The Mole People.........................................

There are lots more where they came from.

I'll have to look-up Purgatory. I'm not familiar with it.
