  • Hi all,

    Next month a cinema here in Belfast
    will be screening 5 John Wayne westerns.
    One a night for 5 nights. They are,
    The Searchers, She Wore a Yellow Ribbin,
    Fort Apache, The Shootist, and Stagecoach.
    5 classic movies and all on the big screen.
    I know were I'll be on those nights.

    Emmanuel.


    I'll try one of those black beers....THE QUIET MAN.

  • HI Emmanuel, I too would love to be able to join ye watching those movies. I hope you have an unforgettable time enjoying these classics on the big screen.

  • Wow, you lucky dog:bowwow: you!


    Hm-m-m-m-m, wonder what a round-trip ticket from SFO to Belfast would set me back? You would let me camp out in your living room, right, Emmanuel?:wink_smile:


    Well, we did get to see The Quiet Man on the big screen a couple of years ago, and had a great time.


    Enjoy it for all of us who can't be there!!

  • Hmmm, an hour's flight from Portsmouth to Belfast = a flight from Corpus Christi "International" airport to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW). I wonder how much a ticket would cost round trip? I wonder if the price here vs in England, would be about the same?

  • Well, the rumor is still goig on here in town that the old Ritz Theater, which is located downtown here in Corpus Christi, is suppoed to be undergoing renovation and is only going to show older classic movies. If it ever does happen, I will be spending a lot of my time there.

  • Hi all,

    Mike you are right the QFT are showing the
    movies as part of "THE Belfast Festival at Queens".
    It runs from 27th October, The Searchers will be
    shown first.

    Carl I wish you could be here to enjoy these movies.
    Chester, We could manage more than a bed by the fire.

    Keith, I'm sorry I don't come around as much as I would like to,
    I'm up to my eyes at work, but when I find a wee bit of time
    to myself this is the place I head for first, even if it's just to
    read all the wonderful posts

    Emmanuel.

  • Hi all,

    Well I went and watched Duke in "The Searchers"
    on Friday night, I went with my wife, daughter,and
    2 of our sons, and I have to say that it was an
    unforgetable experience. They had an original
    Vista Vision print which made it even more enjoyable,
    and to hear people laugh at all the right places in the
    movie was really something. I missed out on
    "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" tonight, but I'm going to
    see "Fort Apache" tomorrow night, The Shootist" on
    Tuesday, night and "stagecoach" on Thursday night.
    I wish you all could be there.

    Emmanuel.

  • Hi Emmanuel, I sure envy you in having a theater nearby that is showing Dukes movies. I had hoped that by now, the Century Theaters here in town, which has 16 screens, would have started showing classic movies on at least one of their screens. I had heard that they too, were planning on having one screen reserved for only showing nothing but classics. I was by there last weekend and nope, they still have not changed their selections. :(
