Last Non Western You Watched

Hi Arthur, John Chisum,

Arthur: Dunkirk is my most favorite Sir John Mills movie closely followed by: The Colditz Story. I can't get enough of both of those great movies.

John Chisum, mine too. In fact I think its tied at Nr 1 of my favorite Cary grant movies tied with: Gunga Din & Destination Tokyo..

Though not movies, the most recent non-Western watching in which we've been indulging is a TV cop-type show called Castle, along with episodes of Monk. Hulu is our friend!

Tonight I watched "Cape Fear" with Gregory Peck as a lawyer trying to defend his family against Robert Mitchum, a snake Greg helped send up the river several years before. Now Bobby wants revenge. I swear, old Robert can play a menacing lowlife to perfection.

Watched a couple of episodes of WWII in HD on THC as well as a couple of season 1 episodes of ZORO Oh and just now watched: First Blood. and IMO the best of all of the Rambo movies. Rambo: First Blood pt 2 is now starting.

Double Crossbones, with Donald O'Connor and a much younger Will Geer (best known in our household as Grandpa Walton - it was his voice that gave it away). It's one of 4 pirate movies on the same DVD. Definitely a cute spoof of the swashbuckling pirate movies of that era! Ar-r-r-r-r-r-rg!

What can I say about that one? Great special effects and my popcorn was ok.

This evening I watched "Air Force One", a good actioner with Harrison Ford as the President personally battling terrorists who've managed to sneak aboard his plane with the aid of a traitorous Secret Service agent.

Sure wish we had a president like the character played by Ford in this movie instead of the wuss we really have.

More Zorro episodes. I don't remember any of these that I might have seen as a kid but, these aint bad at all.

I watched the new "Star Trek" movie with the family. That movie is excellent, even better in Blu-ray. I am going to try and watch it again really soon.

Need to get a Blue-Ray Player soon. I enjoyed Star Trek in cinema as well.

BTW Is there a thread John Wayne on Blue-Ray already?

If you mean what movies of John Wayne's are on Blu-Ray. I have 3 of them so far: The Searchers, Rio Bravo, and How the West Was Won. The others that I know of are The Cowboys and The Longest Day. There may be others from other countries but those are the one's that I know of.

By the way, the 3 that I have are excellent. Picture quality is awesome.

The Green Berets is coming soon to Blu as well.

Yup, I just saw that for a January release date. Not sure what day, I believe it is roughly the 2nd week. That is on my "list"!!

I find it odd that they are putting The Green Berets on Blu-ray before his other more significant movies have been added to the format. There are so many others that should come before it, atleast from my perspective. Like True Grit, The Alamo, McLintock!, and the most significant one of Duke's film that needs a major restoration is The Quiet Man.

I can't explain the others but I suspect they are waiting till the restoration is done on The Alamo before releasing that to Blu-Ray. And as for The Quiet Man if they released a fully restored copy of that I would snap that baby right up, it would be a beautiful film if they restored it to it's glory.

I think most of us here would, that movie looks really bad on a bigger TV.

I've been watching "WWII in HD" on the History Channel. Don't know where they found all the footage they've woven into the presentation but the material is fascinating!

The movie looks bad on my 25 inch screen..

The pirates won out this evening . . . Against All Flags, with Errol Flynn, Maureen O'Hara and Mildred Natwick!

A few hours later . . . Buccaneer's Girl, with Pals of the Saddle Yvonne DeCarlo, Jay C. Flippen, and John Qualen playing a small part as well.

While we really like Maureen O'Hara, Buccaneer's Girl wins hands down, of the three pirate movies we've watched recently.
