Last Non Western You Watched

Quote from Gorch

I just love grand kids. I have a legitimate excuse to watch and re-watch all of these as they mature in different years. Have another on the way and will soon have to start all over again.
Last non western I ran was the original "Planet of the Apes" with my six year old grand daughter. It's a madhouse! A madhouse!

You've got a friend in me.

Planet of the apes is one of my favourite films of all time.
It's one of those very rare films which has stood the test of time and is still as fresh and thought provoking as when it first came out.
I must dig it out and watch it again!

The Fugitive with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. An excellent movie in my opinion with plenty of suspense and action.

Gettysburg. It may be long, but I think it is an awesome Civil War film.

On my ever growing list! Ordered it from the USA hopefully it will arrive soon.
I really enjoyed Gods and Generals.

Far From the Madding Crowd

Lured with Lucille Ball, George Sanders, Charles Coburn, and a host of other great character actors. It was a very good mystery, and interesting to see Lucy in a serious role. Overall a pretty good film.

Sword of the Valiant (1984)
A fun nonsensical movie with Connery adding immensely to the value of the movie with just 4 scenes

Again, Tom Selleck, in Stone Cold.

If you really enjoyed Gods and Generals, you'll LOVE Gettysburg. I love them both, but Gettysburg gets more replay by me.

Thanks Mark,

Hopefully it will arrive by Friday, and as it looks like its going to be torrential rain all over the weekend, I'll have a good excuse to sit down and enjoy!

Went to see 'Jaws' newly remastered and in all it's glory at the cinema.
Fantastic on every level! Never thought I'd get to see it on the big screen.
Well worth it if it's touring in your area.

I saw Jaws at the theater when it came out in the late 70's. When that head popped out of the bottom of the boat when Dreyfuss was pulling the tooth out of the hull, I nearly spilled my popcorn!

Prometheus- a prequel to Alien, tho I found too many discrepencies with it making it hard to lead to the first film. I watched Alien before seeing this to refresh my memory, but it only reinforced what a better film Alien was. Plus there's an incredibly bad makeup job on Guy Pierce.

The High and the Mighty (see our comments here)

The Bad Seed What a twisted movie from 1956. It was really good.

I THINK it came out in 1973? I too saw it at the theaters--in this case-the long since closed: Texas Theaters in Kingsville, Texas. The lines to get into the theater to see it--went for 2 city blocks round. It took us almost 8 hours to get in to see it. I too remember the head popping with loose eye scene and it gave me nightmares for a few months. I was about 6 at the time. I loved the fact that they had an M-1 Garand Rifle to shoot the shark with. I had a "Tanker-Garand" at onetime and loved the darn thing.

Argh, I forgot (part 2) Today, I watched Edmund O'Brien & Robert Stack in: Fighter Squadron. It was worth the money spent on it and i liked the usage of all the original combat footage too.

Been busy enjoying numerous Sonny Chiba movies.
