Posts from Hondo Duke Lane in thread „Favorite O'Hara Movie“

    The Christmas Box is a very good movie that came out a few years ago on TV. Richard Thomas and Annette O'Toole were in the movie as well. I think this is one of the last movies he made. She is approaching 88 years old, and I know it gets difficult to do these movies for a woman her age. I wish she would do more, but I do understand.

    Cheers :cool:

    I have really enjoyed reading your favorite O'Hara movies and I find it very hard to say which one I like the best. She is one of the greatest actresses in film. I loved her in The Parent Trap and Spencer's Mountain. And I can't think of a movie with Duke that I didn't like either. How can you forget Miracle on 34th Street. And so many others. But I have to tell you that my favorite one is The Quiet Man with John Wayne. She is my favorite actress and no one and I mean no one can ever take her place.

    What are some of your favorites?

    Cheers :cool: Hondo

    I thought that we would do a Top Ten movies of Maureen O'Hara.


    1. Any movie she did will count, and you may change your mind but your list will be counted one time only. The best way to make you changes are to edit your list.


    2.This will continue until November 30 at midnight your time.


    3. All members on this message board are eligible for the vote.


    4. Let's stick with 10 (ten) of her movies. Any more will not count. You may also list less than ten.


    5. Have fun

    I know there were other Maureen and Duke movies out there, but in order to keep this simple, I just wanted to add others on the topic because there were others who played with the Lady.

    There where only 2 films on that list that I haven't seen yet and then there are so many others that aren't on that list so it sure was a difficult decision but I did vote for the Quiet Man in the end because no way how I toss and turn that remains my all time favourite :D

    Hey Moonshine, what are the movies not listed that you have seen?

    This is a list of some of our grand lady's movies, which I think were her best. You might think of others, but here is a top list of her movies with a seprate selection being "Other". Of course you may comment what the other is on your choice.
