Tombstone w/ Kurt Russell is fantastic at the theater. it is one of those movies better seen at the theater. i have it on dvd, but it just isn't the same. maybe i can use this as a good excuse to buy that 81" flat screen tv! think my wife will go for my reasons?
on a side note, i really miss drive-ins. i had so much fun when we were kids and my father took us to them. there just are not very many left anymore. i remember in high school after i got my drivers license, we would go to the drive-in and take my old Ford truck and park so the bed faced the screen and set lawn chairs in the back and watch the movie. the drive-in had the sound where it could play through your radio on AM. so cool!
yes it is! i am a big John Wayne fan and like most any movie he has been in. the westerns are my favorites. his last one, The Shootist will be my all time favorite John Wayne movie. to me, the movie was a fitting end to all the movies he made, the character was befitting the Duke and showed him at his best. the Duke was a hero and a role model, too bad there aren't more like him. my wife is even a big John Wayne fan also. she won't pass up a John Wayne dvd up at Wal-Mart if we don't have it!
I like anything Clint, but "The Unforgiven" was also a very good movie. " The Hackman characters opinion of what makes a good shooter mirrors what I was taught and hope I can do if I ever have to. The Quick and the Dead" is a favorite.
I've been watching the western channel a lot recently doing research for my leather rigs. I came across "The Law and Jake Wade" 1958, and OMG the Richard Widmark character reminds me so much of myself when I was younger (except he's a bad guy in the movie) it had me riveted. He even looks like me and wore the same type of western style dress I like and have worn forever. I was so cock sure about EVERYTHING and a real pain in the arse much of the time. But like the character in the movie I really am pretty good.
it was one of the movies she had on her Christmas list. the other was Giant. i also got her the Quiet Man and McClintock. she got me The Shootist, Rio Lobo, Rio Grande and The Sons Of Katie Elder. my wife is as much a John Wayne fan as i am. she loves the western channel on tv. yeah, she's a keeper!
My Father in Law is lending me his John Wayne collection. I saw most of them in my youth but it's been so long I can't really talk about them anymore.
