Posts from Hondo Duke Lane in thread „Message Board Top 25 Movies“

B5Erik,

I want to welcome you to the greatest message board for John Wayne. I appreciate your votes, and can see that you need to get caaught up with your Duke dose of movies. I'd like to suggest that you look at the list and see the ones on this board likes and get the movie. I am impressed with what you have seen so far. And what you like the best. You don't have to buy, buy, buy. Just get one and enjoy it. Most of Duke's "A" movies are on VHS. You can get a great number of those on DVD. I hope when you see some of those movies, you'll post and tell us what you think of the movie.

I suggest that you get a copy of The Quiet Man, either on DVD or VHS. And watch your copy of True Grit. Those are two great ones.

Great to have you on board.

Cheers, Hondo B)

SXViper,

This will give you the best price at the on-line sites, and all the movies you ever want to see, including John Wayne movies.
