    I have just joined and I am glad I did. I have been a Duke fan for as long as I can
    remember ( I am now 53). My name is Tony, I lived in Tasmania, Australia.


    I am now collecting DVD's and they have a John Wayne collection going that I have
    the first 6 DVD's and an accompanying book that tells about the movies and the cast.


    The first 6 so far are:
    The Searchers
    Rooster Cogburn
    Hellfighters
    Rio Lobo
    Stagecoach
    They Were Expendable
    and Chisum is the one out this week.


    I really enjoy collecting Duke's movies, I have already picked up:
    The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallence
    Rio Grande
    The Undefeated
    The Horse Soldiers
    The Alamo
    Angel and The Badman
    How the West Was Won
    plus a few of his older ones I was lucky to pick up.


    I look forward to hearing from the members and learning more.
    All the best

    Welcome aboard, Tony. Glad you found us. You got the start of a great DVD collection. That's the fun of being a collector of Duke movies...he made so many of them, that you can collect for a long time :wink_smile:. Hope to hear more from you in the near future. Jump right in!

    Hello Tony, looks like your off to a good start on the DVD's.

    You have come to the right place to learn about the Duke, his life and his films. Hope to see you around.

    Life is hard, its even harder when your stupid!!

    Thank you all for the great welcome, it is much appreciated.
    I picked up Chisum yesterday and next fortnight it is The Shepard of the Hills.


    I have not opened mine up as I want to keep them in collection condition so I have not
    read the magazine that come with the DVD. It tells about how the film was made and
    about the cast and the characters. I has interviews and pics galore.


    I just love westerns, especially John Wayne westerns, and will continue to collect as
    many as I can.
    I have also picked up three Clint Eastwood DVD's (Kelly's Heroes, Honky Tonk Man and of course Dirty Harry)
    I am glad to be a part of a friendly group and I hope to be able to give some input at times as well.
    All the best to everyone.
