BTW- This has nothing to do with this discussion.......I don't think I've said that my second favorite JW movie has to be Chisum. I LOVE that one! Isn't it so cool?![snapback]15494[/snapback]
Talk about it anyway! 
Heck, it's the Duke we're talkin' about! I've noticed that CHISUM has quite a following. I like it well enough, especially that darn theme song...so catchy.
Speaking of MCLINTOCK, has there ever been a widescreen print of the film? I was watching it on Turner Classic Movies last night and it was full frame. If a movie is in widescreen format, TCM will show it as such. My video copy is also full-frame.

Bonnie,
Big Jake does have its moments and may not be suitable to younger audiences, but with today's movies I must say that almost every movie out today, and I do say almost, is a lot tamer than Big Jake. But I do value your mother's concern.

Today's movies tamer than Big Jake? Wow, I'll have to see that one again, as it's been awhile. I can't imagine any Duke movie being more violent than say, Kill Bill. I think you're being too harsh on Big Jake, but I'll have to see it again to really be sure.
No Indiana Jones, eh? I was 10 when the first one came out and EVERY boy worth his weight in Topps trading cards had to see it. But, who the heck am I to tell someone how to raise their child? BTW, most boys love monsters and adventure stuff. It works wonders for the imagination, IMO.

Okay, which way to the old age pension/social security office. I must be in a shrinking minority that can remember when John Wayne was alive. Fourteen and Nineteen....been out of high school longer than that, but that's good, I am glad his fans come in all age groups.

I was eight when John Wayne died, and I remember that day well. I was visiting my grandparents and was sitting in front of their huge TV set (the ones that looked like furniture) and I recall being surprised that he died, as I was unaware that Duke had been ill.
Didn't we have a poll thread here a while back that allowed forum members to click the age group they were in? We'll have to bump that and have the new members chime in on it.

Well thanks Cole,nice of you to say so!.But i must confess....i had to look up "erudite", lol.
-IHW
LOL! The only thing more embarrassing than my occasional choice of words is when I begin to pontificate when someone asks me a question! One of the many perils of having a humanities degree...
Welcome, Bonnie! El Dorado was the Wayne movie that got me into the Duke and until my new obsession with Donovan's Reef, it was my favorite of his. I, too have every line memorized. BTW, you're much cooler than I was when I was 14, it took me another eight years to fully appreciate John Wayne's legend! I was merely a casual fan before that time.
InHarmsWay: You're only 19? You sure had me fooled! I enjoy reading your erudite posts, keep 'em coming!
