Last Non Western You Watched

Quote from alamo221

From a distance, the lady on the right looks like Pilar! Great pic!

She does, although Pilar is much older than the woman in the picture, and I believe more frail in health. But honestly, I was thinking the same thing myself!

Where Eagles Dare, Kelly's Heroes, and some others watched ;-))))

Was that the Blu ray double bill by any chance?

No Sir--I saw them on TCM ;-)) By the way, a good friend of mine from London--bought and sent to me-and just arrived this morning--my first collectable photo from Where Eagles Dare. It shows Richard Burton with Ingrid Pitt on his lap in that (Soldatenheim) and is the actual photo that The Chicago Tribune used when they first advertised that movie-also has a pasted copy of the ad as looked in the paper--pasted to the back side. My friend gave it to me as a Birthday gift ;-))

I saw more war movies late yesterday and earlier today but cant recall the titles because my mind is on a very ill vet/friend who just got released from Audie Murphy in San Antonio--and aint looking too good.

That's interesting as they paired those 2 films together on Blu ray.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ingrid Pitt some time ago in the UK and got a photo with her and autograph.

Best wishes to you and to your friend in these times.

Red Tails A very good movie. Like it a lot, and highly recommend it to all. It is very good and educational. Just really great.

I guess for the record, what out for the language. I didn't seem to pick up on it, but I am sure that it was there.

Just amazed with the dogfighting (for Carl).

And the way they were treated, which I knew was there. Let's face it the 1940's were not the best for blacks, and it was brutal in the south. But the respect factor comes around in this movie.

Not to give too much away, the story takes place in Italy; I thought it was starting in Alabama for the training, didn't go there. Enjoyed very much on Blu-ray.

Independence Day, in Blu-ray, my son received for his birthday. I was impressed by the high definition, though, having seen it before, and considering what activities the Mrs. and I have been up to the last four days, I was out like a light ten minutes into the movie.

Hi Peter adn thank you. I dont collect blue ray as I cant afford to replace my DvD collection. Im about to buy some more Werner Archive Collection movies soon as June hits ;-))

Ill bet she was a pleasure to meet. Ive seen her in maybe 2-3 movies but my favorite by far is Where Eagles Dare. The friend that got it for me posted the photo on another site and soon as I get there--ill copy it and place it here in a thread of its own. It really is a great shot of the two.

Thank you on the well wishes--ill gladly pass them on ;-))

Yes Carl, Michael York was Logan. But also had Peter Ustinov as the Old Man. And Jenny Agutter as Jessica, the woman who ran with Logan. The movie was not a good movie, but one that the Liberals yern for. The type that they worship: Sex, Drugs, and Rock-n-Roll. This movie is their stepping stone to paradise. Unfortuniately, most of those people are over 30, and would be terminated. Now, what to do.

Thirty Rock, again about 30% into it, and I was out!

The last non-Western we watched was John Ford–Dreaming the Quiet Man Documentary (Midwest Premiere! Saturday, May 26th, at the Iowa Theatre in Winterset).

From the Birthday Celebration site - Director and producer Sé Merry Doyle of Loopline Film is proud to present the Midwest Premiere of this new documentary that delves into the story of the making of the film and features contributions from well-known commentators like Maureen O’ Hara and filmmakers including Peter Bogdanovich, Martin Scorsese and Jim Sheridan. You’ll be transfixed by the astounding archive of treasured memories and rare photographs, and get a real feel for just what it took to get this cinematic masterpiece made. This premiere showing will include a special introduction by Maureen O’Hara and interview with Aissa Wayne recorded in Ireland last fall.

We enjoyed this documentary VERY much, and understand there is a possibility it might be available for purchase at some point. I highly recommend it!

This picture was taken after the showing, outside the theater -

Just found out from Joe Zuke, President of the Birthplace board, that there is a good chance this documentary will be available as early as the end of June.
