Clooney is a talented actor and has made good films I just wanted to use him as an example of someone I don't think will have the long lasting appeal that someone like Duke had. Thanks for sharing SP really interesting stuff. The Sopranos is something iv'e been meaning to get into for a long time but it's a big undertaking with so many episodes!

It can be alot of things that make people go back I think, that they truely love the movie, feel they relate to the characters or that it takes them back to a certain time or period in my life. Anything I rewatch often is like an old friend I can just unwind with and I think that's a big part of the Duke's lasting appeal. So many actors out there do a good film here or a bad film there but I think John Wayne on screen even in some of his less well received films just connects with the viewer and you know what your getting with him, they'll still be talking about the Duke 100 years after someone like George Clooney dies.

I hear you Rocklin, I too feel weird when iv'e gone awhile without watching anything with the Duke in. Try and watch something with him at least once a fortnight.

As a kid I watched the likes of bicentennial man and flubber many times, but now I try and watch any Duke film I see on t.v
