Two movies, quite unrelated

While I was working on a speaker installation this afternoon, I got to watch a fair bit of The Quiet Man (1952), starring John Wayne. I liked what I saw, so it's a shame I only got to see the beginning. :)
After work and dinner, Jillian and Oscar biked over, and we went to Greater Union to see the 8:45pm showing of The Return of the King, which was really really good. Made me want to read the books again, though most you are aware how futile a notion this is for me. :)

Date: 2004-01-13 02:12 pm (UTC)i grew up on john wayne. well, the westerns, i haven't the taste for his war movies, though i'm sure they're good too. let's see... which ones are my favorites (in no particular order) rio bravo, el dorado, the shootist (better if you know how he died), the cowboys, rooster cogburn (and true grit)
i think those are my personal favorites... rio bravo is cool b/c it has dean martin and ricky nelson in it. el dorado has robert mitchum (beef! it's what's for dinner!) and is funny b/c its exactly like rio bravo. there are lots of famous leading ladies in his movies too. and the shootist has ron howard!
