that is quite a list glory days. You had me until you went with the new True Grit.
edit- I do like The Natural but they lose me at the home run popping lights scene at the end. I just hate it. It reeks of Hollywood schmaltz and they lay it on too thick.

I have watched that flick at least a couple hundred times over the years.. Nice Choice. I have also had a number of avatar's based off Doc.. like this one I currently use elsewhere. Welcome aboard.

I know it was made with 60's cowboy hokeyness but I don't care. His scene with the reins in his mouth and firing his guns is one of the greatest movie scenes ever. No disrespect intended but the new version seems to me like someone who buys a little plastic statue of Mt Rushmore in the gift shop below the real thing.

Look, Jeff has the patch over the wrong eye and he has two revolvers. So wrong it hurts to even look at it. [duh]

I also love the line at the end when John tells Kim Darby to come see him some time.

Mattie Ross: Trust you to buy another tall horse.
Rooster Cogburn: Yeah. He's not as game as Beau, but Stonehill says he can jump a four rail fence.
Mattie Ross: You are too old and fat to be jumping horses.
Rooster Cogburn: Well, come see a fat old man some time!

Being older and over weight it appeals to me.

Dawn Of The Dead - The original George A Romero masterpiece

Old British Ealing Comedies you might want to try and see:

"Passport to Pimlico"
"Kind hearts and Coronets" - If you haven't seen this you've missed something very special. Alec Guiness plays 8 different characters.
"The Lavender Hill Mob"
"The Lady Killers"

It's already been listed but -

"It's a wonderful Life" Got to be the black and white version not the coloured release (sacrilege). If you don't like this film you are dead inside.

Formed Merseyside Nighthawks. British Champions 1992. Packer fan for 32 years

I feel very wrong now!!!!!!!!!

some great movies there. I use to prefer Roger Moore. I think I have drifted back to Sean over the past few years.
