Not a bad collection you have on tape either. I have about 28 of what you have listed.

Hi Stumpy, Chester & the Mrs, Mr Brooks, Robbie:

Stumpy: Many many thanks. If I can find my list of them, I will gladly post them here. I too have many Westerns that are not released on VHS and or DVD. Your amount of movies is verry impressive as well Im not much of a Sci Fi fan either cept for Star Wars and Star Trek and few others. Like you, I don't care for the commercials on AMC either. They did so many years very well without them.

Hi Mrs C: I love older movies too and will always take them over new ones anytime. Just a few days ago, I watched Treasure of the Sierra Madre again. I do not tire of this fine movie. I also do not blame you for dropping cable. If it were not for stations like TCM, The History Channel, Discovery Channel, TV Land and TLC, I would not be watching TV at all.

Im getting a bit disgusted with the folks at TV land because they are not sticking with older classics. Instead, they are playing Cheers, McGyver and now Hunter. The good older shows are being shoved aside. I have been calling them up for months at TV Land about playing a show that I have never seen like Twelve O'Clock High. Instead of a real answer, I get that they will get my suggestion. Has not worked yet. Also like you do, I do buy a few newer movies like We Were Soldiers, Black Hawk Down and Behind Enemy Lines, but I buy a select few.

Hi Robbie: The last new movie I went to see that I enjoyed was: "Around the World In 80 Days" w/ Jackie Chan. It was well done and was funny though it strayed a bit from the version w/ David Niven. I did see that thread about voting for The Searchers and I did vote for it. I gave it a 10.

Stumpy: of your list, I have appx 190 of those movies on either DVD and or VHS. I only have about 110 or so DVDs so far. My next purchase will be Titanic (1953) W/ Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck, Richard Basehart and Robert Wagner & probably The Hunters w/ Robert Mitchum & Robert Wagner. My last two purchases were: COMBAT Season 1, Campaign 1 (Which I am VERy satisfied with ) and Judgement At Nuremberg w/ Spencer Tracy, Richard Widmark, William Shatner, Montgomery Clift, Burt Lancaster, Werner Klemperer, Howard Caine and Judy Garland.

Hi Stumpy et el.

I love older black & white movies. I will take them over the stuff made these days. You are correct in your assumption of my taste in movies. I simply love the older stuff and will always prefer it over the stuff made these days. There are few exceptions to movies made in the last say, 27 years. I loved the original three Star Wars movies, and a few others since then. The Big Red One, Lethal Weapon 1-3, some of the Star Trek movies, Big, Romancing The Stone, and movies like: We Were Soldiers and Around the World in 80 Days -- which just came out recently and has Jackie Chan.

Not to disagree with anyone but, I absolutely cannot stand horror movies as well as sex oriented movies. My brother who is 2 yrs older than I am, hates all older movies. If it is not in color, he will not watch it. Too bad because he has missed hundreds of great classics. If you were ever here where I live and walked into my house, you would see I prefer the older movies. I think that about 90% of my collection on both VHS and DVD are older and B&W movies.

I'm not bragging but, it took me years to collect some 500 western movies--something I am proud of having. My next favorite Genre is War Movies. I am also slowly moving to Cold War and Spy type movies. One of the few more recent movies I really enjoyed were: The Bourne Identity, Behind Enemy Lines, Around the World In 80 Days, Samurai and We Were Soldiers.

For years my favorite TV stations were: WTBS, WGN, TCM, TNT and AMC. However, AMC, has definitely taken a turn for the worse when they started playing the newer movie especially horror movies. WGN seems to no longer air classics as well as TNT.

I will take: They Died With Their Boots On w/ Errol Flynn and Olivia DeHavilland any day over something like: Friday the 13th or Nightmare On Elms Street.

BTW, anyone here enjoy movies with Richard Basehart? To me he is one of the all time underrated actors.

Sorry I got long-winded--TRK.

Thank you Stumpy, I was not aware it was released. I too buy from Deepdiscountdvd.com and I noticed that they actually not only have the better deals with free shipping but, they have THE BEST selection of older movies on the market. I'm hoping that "Santa" will give me that movie as well as Treasure of the Sierra Madre; for Christmas ;-))

I do seem to remember that High noon did have a great deal of tension for the lead character, and I thought that was a great thing to have in the movie. Kinda reminds me a bit of: "Last Train From Gun Hill" which has Kirk DOuglas and another favorite of mine: Anthony Quinn. I liked the movie but did not like that Anthony Quinn was the main bad guy--though he was great in that role.

Sorry I got off topic

Thanks for the info on that movie. I had forgotten that Anthony Perkins was in it. I'm not familiar with Dorothy McGuire though.

I think I have a soft spot for Vera Cruz because of the star power it had in it like: Burt Lancaster, Ernest Borgnine, Jack Elam and Charles Bronson--all in early career roles. Cesar Romero who was the actor who played the Joker in Batman, was also in this movie. I have always liked his acting as well.

They Came To Cordura, is enjoyable in my book but is not a great movie. I think I liked it more because of the recognizable faces in it as well. Dick York and Tab Hunter come to mind. I wonder whatever happened to Tab Hunter? As far as I know, he is still living.

As for Sergeant York, it is one of my all-time favorite movies about ww1. It is only beat by James Cagney, Alan Hale Sr and Pat O.Brien in; The Fighting 69th.

I also keep forgetting about other Cooper classics like: Springfield Rifle, The Westerner, They Came To Cordura and Vera Cruz.

Greetings Stumpy. I have seen Friendly Persuasion before. It was about 15 or so years ago and was played on Thanksgiving. I don't remember enough about it to say anything but, I do believe I liked it.

Is this the movie where he was a Quaker or something and he later on joins the Union Army? I seem to recall something about a Goose as well.

BTW, on the day this movie was played, I do remember that WTBS was playing a marathon of great movies on Thanksgiving. I remember it because I taped three that were played in a row. They played: Mutiny On The Bounty (the one with Charles Laughton and Clark Gable) Boys Town w/ Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney and Sergeant York with Gary Cooper, George Tobias and Walter Brennan.

I had this great combination of movies until I loaned my tape out to a friend who accidently recorded over it with Down and out in beverly hills.

The first time I saw it, I disliked it because I was too young to appreciate what the real meaning of the movie was. I then watched it again a few yeard ago and thought it was pretty decent. I have always like Gary Cooper. Still, I think his best movie was when he played Beau Geste in Beau Geste.
