My favorite John Wayne movie was his last, The Shootist.  A dying gunslinger taking out his enemies.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Last night using Youtube Movies, rented "Ford vs. Ferrari," in HD for 48 hours, for $5.99

Movies, story is very good.

Like "Grand Prix," "Le Mans," "Rush," etc is is mainly a Auto Racine flick.

I happen to be  sports car enthusiast.

European, American, Japanese; doesn't matter.

Dr Zhivago

Ben Hur (with Charlton Heston)

I'd have to think about the other two...

Both Ben Hur and Dr. Zhivago are two of my favorites as well. They just don't make movies like that anymore.  Also these days, it is hard to find movies that are even 2 hours long.

It's hard to find movies you'd want to be 2 hours long.

I'd add The Robe, too.

It does seem as though those plus The Godfather series are outliers now.

John Wayne, he was my favorite actor as a child all the way through until adulthood.  He was great.  Everything he did, I enjoyed.

Perhaps his most impressionable movie for me as a young boy was the Flying Tigers.  Read the book by Col Scott if I recall when I was very young.  Loved this movie.  Could watch it 100 times and never tire of it.  For me, it was about bravery, men who went to war to fight the Japs when they did not need to do so.

Right behind it, The Fighting Seabees, which again honored brave men.  It was John Wayne at his best.

And there were other WWII movies with Wayne, and I loved them all.

in 1952, he made what I consider his best movie, The Quiet Man.  John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara were excellent together in this movie, which spawned others.  All the actors in this movie were in great form.  Since I had Irish ancestors on both sides of my family, my own paternal grandfather from Ireland to the USA in 1920, it was that much more endearing.

So many movies he made that I enjoyed.  The Horse Soldiers, North to Alaska, The Searchers, In Harm's Way, True Grit, Rooster Cogburn, The Shootist, and many others.

And a special mention to The Cowboys, which I thought was a special story, for it was Wayne and a bunch of kids, and the story came across very real and dramatic.

As a lover of movies, boiling it down to five movies would be near impossible.

At the top of my list, Spartacus, my all time favorite movie.

And in no order, the following:

Ben Hur

Forest Gump

My Fair Lady


and one of the following, for they are all great movies:

Bringing Up Baby

The Sound of Music

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
(my youngest daughter's favorite movie.  Watched it 100s of
                                                       times with her)

Planes, Trains and Automobiles  (watched it last night.  Laugh riot.  My work life was similar to
                                                          the role of Steve Martin.  Many years in airports, missed/late
                                                          flights, etc)


...and so many more great movies!

Forgive me .. this is not a movie clip.  It's a TV clip and is posted in honor of today --- William Shatner's 90th birthday.

In this spirit, I give you a best of Denny Crane moment:   :shotglass:

Great clip. I hadn't thought about it, and was surprised to see Shatner is 90. Good for him!

For the ladies...from my fav book

@mystery-ak

This exchange between Elizabeth and Lady Catherine was also great.  Their exquisite command of the English language is spectacular.





I also liked the scene where Elizabeth's father gives her the impossible option by telling her that if she doesn't marry Mr. Collins, her mother will never speak to her again, and that she does, he will never speak to her again.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
