  • What Are Your Favorite Non-wayne-movies?

    Thorsten, you can even link "Gunfight of the OK Corrall" (one of my favorites as well, I love the Frankie Laine ballad, wish they would put the whole soundtrack out one of these days) to JW:
    In the advertisments of "The Sons of Katie Elder" they used the phrase "from the makers of Gunfight of the OK Corrall", or something like that.

    Guys, did y'all notice that the girls just can't make a decision for just TEN movies? It's the same when the have to make the decision if they are about to turn left or right when driving. ;)
    If the ship sinks they would go down, end of picture (nobody mentioned Titanic yet?)

    Hey Chance,
    we got similar taste! Some of your favorites almost were on my 10-best-list, like Captains Courageous (always gets me when they kill of Spencer Tracy) and Robin Hood (there's a DVD Special Edition coming at us!)

    Hi Gang
    Thought this board could use a new poll. Just curious: Which are your favorites BESIDES the JW-films? I don’t mean the films you think are supposed to be on the list of the best movies ever made, so Citizen Kane should be in it. No, not that kind of list. Just the 10 films in your personal absolute 10-Best-List in which JW plays absolutely no part. I know it’s hard. So make a decision. Imagine the ship is sinking just right now and you can save 10 films only - yeah I know, you’d grab the Waynes first but anyway – here’s my own list:



    LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
    Every single shot in it is great, and O’Toole delivers what I think ranks with the best performances ever put on a movie screen.


    THE GREAT ESCAPE
    The great fun, the great adventure, the great McQueen – great escapism. And based on a great true story.


    SPARTACUS
    The intelligent epic. One of the „you couldn’t do that today“ films. A great script by Dalton Trumbo, comparing communism and capitalism.


    LONELY ARE THE BRAVE
    That sad neo-western, with music by Jerry Goldsmith


    WHERE EAGLES DARE
    Not to be taken seriously when Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood decided one weekend to win World War II. I love a lot of „Commando“-movies, like Guns of Navarone, or The Dirty Dozen – but this one is the most fun.


    SEARGENT YORK
    Coopers oscar-winning performance, Hawks‘ masterful direction – and the fact that this is one hell of a propaganda movie you must study when you’re interested in Hollwood’s call of arms in 1940.


    MY DARLING CLEMENTINE
    Pure Ford.


    FROM HERE TO ETERNITY
    The great story under Zinnemann’s direction pulled great performances by Lancaster, Clift, Kerr, Donna Reed and Sinatra. Unforgettable.


    THE FAR COUNTRY
    Jimmy Stewart and director Mann at their peak. Even today, one of the most underrated westerns.


    NORTH BY NORTHWEST
    Hitchcock‘s and Gary Crant’s best thriller.
