Found this years ago in a flea market in Atlanta. Snatched it up for $15 for my dad for a Christmas gift one year and wanted to share with y’all. I’ve always thought it was cool to have a pic of the man himself that no one else in the world has. If anyone can identify the movie it came from or narrow it down that’d be awesome.
To end my John Wayne movie night a very underrated Hatari. A movie I loved as a kid and haven't seen since.
Over the Easter holiday I watched my first John Wayne movie and became an instant fan . I can't believe it's taken me 51 years but anyway....I found a lady on Facebook who was selling 97 movies for £15 . Not quite a complete set but should keep me busy for a while .
My wife and I LOVE both Rio Bravo (1959), and El Dorado (1966), but recently she pointed out that both movies essentially are the same plot, revolving around powerful outside forces wanting the sheriff to give up an incarcerated miscreant awaiting the marshal. This shook me a bit. Is she wrong?
I think the title sums it up realy well.
Just went to the John Wayne museum in the stockyards and it was amazing. Highly recommend! It had plenty to see but wasn’t over done/overstimulating. Just the right amount of items tastefully situated. The gift shop products were good quality and had some really great things too. I love a portion of the money made goes to cancer research in the Duke’s name. I recommend staying at the Dover hotel if you go. Stockyard Hotel is neat bc of its history but very loud bc of all the bars and live music and it has no amenities or breakfast.
On the set of ‘the sons of Katie Elder’ with Dean Martin in the background
Everyone knows "The Searchers", "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", and "Rio Bravo". Fans love the likes of "El Dorado", "The Shootist", "True Grit", "The Sons Of Katie Elder", "Rio Lobo", and "Big Jake", etc. But which of his westerns do you think doesn't get nearly as much love and respect as it deserves? For me, it's "The Cowboys", a Top 10 for big JW for sure!
Just watched The Big Trail, John's first starring role. It was awesome! The cinematography of the 70mm Grandeur shots were phenomenal. I loved how even though it was a western, it still portrayed suspense, romance, action, good comedy and melancholy very well. I liked the juxtaposition of the baking sun, the drowning river and the freezing winter all packed into one. It really showcased the hardships of trailblazing - it wasn't all fun n' games. My favorite character was Gus. Overall: 9/10
It's the No Pain No Wayne Christmas Special! This time we review 5 John Wayne Films all in one day! Happy Holidays!
I recently watched Red River, Rio Bravo, Liberty Valance and a few other non-John Wayne films. I’m looking for suggestions on what to watch next. What’s your favorite John Wayne film (not one of those three)?
My brother is a huge fan of the Duke and for Christmas I'd like to get him a replica of John Wayne's Red River belt buckle. I'm trying to get one as close to the original as possible so I'm looking for an actual picture of it if anyone has one or knows where to find one. There are a bunch of replicas out there but every one seems to be just a little bit different and I want to make sure I get home the best gift I can.
Thanks in advance.
Hey everybody we missed last week due to being busy traveling for the holidays but we are back! Now we are reviewing both Blue Steel and Randy Rides Alone as a bit of a double feature. As always we would love to hear your thoughts on the films!
