1.The Rounders starring: Glenn Ford, Henry Fonda, Sue Ane Langdon, Hope Holiday, Chill Wills directed by: Burt Kennedy April 25, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.99
This amiable modern Western benefits enormously from the casting of the great genre veterans Henry Fonda and Glenn Ford as two veteran cowboys ,forever on the verge of abandoning their nomadic lifestyle and settling down ,but never quite making it.The movie revolves around their attempts to tame an especially recalitrant bronco named Ol Fooler-who it is suggested is a little like the two men in being stubborn ,hard to tame and determined to go his own way but likeable and who eventually will be coerced back into the mainstream There is not a tightly constructed plot as such ,more a series of incidents heavy on the humour which -be aware ,is often slightly risque (there is a shot of bare bottoms for example which may bother the more prudish ). Ford and Fonda are wonderful ... Read More

2.Giant (2pc) (Ws Aniv) starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean, Carroll Baker, Jane Withers directed by: George Stevens November 05, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.94
"Giant" is a larger-than-life 1950s soap opera filled with all sorts of rivalries, oil derricks, class warfare, and cattle barons. Rock Hudson plays Jordan "Bick" Benedict who brings home an Easterner (Elizabeth Taylor) as his bride. Bick's sister, Luz, doesn't take none too kindly to new bride Leslie whereas ranch hand Jett Rink quite clearly does. Leslie herself is appalled that women are to be seen and not heard, and that no one seems the least perturbed that Mexican workers on the ranch live in squalid conditions. This first half of "Giant" is very entertaining in the way that soap operas can be. The ranch, Reata, is expansive; the mansion they live in is a colossus. The performances are quite good, especially Mercedes McCambridge's tough, almost mannish sister, Luz. Everyone ... Read More

3.Rio Grande (1950) starring: John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Ben Johnson, Claude Jarman Jr., Harry Carey Jr. directed by: John Ford January 12, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Another one of my favorite movies with John Wayne and the whole John Ford crew. The scene where Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr., and Claude Jarman Jr. ride two Horses Roman style (that's standing on the two horse's backs) was actually done by them, not stuntmen! They just don't make them like that anymore.

4.Harvey Girls starring: Judy Garland, John Hodiak, Ray Bolger, Angela Lansbury, Preston Foster directed by: George Sidney (II) April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.49
If you love Judy Garland and old musical romances this is the perfect movie for you.

5.The Alamo starring: Carlos Arruza, Frankie Avalon, Veda Ann Borg, Joseph Calleia, Linda Cristal October 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.69
I love this film. It's entertaining as it can be but historically it is way off the mark. The lyrics of one of song goes as follows: "...let the legend grow and grow....'bout those thirteen days of glory at the siege of Alamo..." I think this demonstrates Wayne's philosophy..."let the LEGEND grow and grow..." He had no problem with bending the facts a little to emphasize the glory that was Alamo. I'm in total disagreement with this philosophy. I think that the actual story of Alamo is so compelling that it shouldn't be fictionalized. So what if a few men, including possibly Davie Crockett, tried to surrender at the end? Outnumbered, out of ammunition and with a bayonet at your throat, ANYONE would have surrendered. It doesn't diminish the heroism by one iota. That fact is that the men at Alamo--against ... Read More

7.Liberation of L.B. Jones starring: Lee J. Cobb, Anthony Zerbe, Roscoe Lee Browne, Lola Falana, Lee Majors directed by: William Wyler June 30, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $39.99
Hello all! I hope my review helps. This is a true story, which happened in my hometown of Humboldt, TN. The character "Emma" is actually still alive. It's interesting to see how the whole town (if I may be so liberal to call it such)..still "shuns" her. I could hardly believe something like this happened in my home. My mom shared the story with me when I was 17, but I didn't get to see the movie until some years later. Oddly enough...things of this nature are still occuring in big cities and small towns.

8.Honky Tonk starring: Clark Gable, Lana Turner, Frank Morgan, Claire Trevor, Marjorie Main directed by: Jack Conway June 30, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $16.49
Honky Tonk is the story of Candy Johnson (Clark Gable), a swindler with plenty of charm. It is this quality that makes him so much money, but his line of work has him constantly moving from town to town. He vows to stop this by setting up stakes in a new town which he plans to take by storm. His intentions seem good when he starts his own saloon to get away from the corruption of the sherriff. He takes the town drunk, also the judge (Frank Morgan), under his wing and makes eyes at the judge's daughter (Lana Turner). His plot is completely successful, but at the expense of the people around him. Turner and Gable work well together, but this is Gable's film all the way. He uses his trademark personality masterfully in this role. All of his charm is believable and it is no wonder people do what he wants. His appeal with women is undeniable here, which ... Read More

9.McLintock! (John Wayne Estate Authorized Edition) starring: John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Patrick Wayne, Stefanie Powers, Jack Kruschen directed by: Andrew V. McLaglen October 17, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Great movie! Cute story. Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne have a magnetic chemistry which makes this movie work. Chill Wills is always fabulous in his supporting role. Comedy, romance, love, stubborn pride, etc. Nice romantic comedy with a western setting.

10.Boom Town starring: Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Claudette Colbert, Hedy Lamarr, Frank Morgan directed by: Jack Conway September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.59
My parents told me about this classic. I enjoyed it a great deal; however, I would like to know if it comes in DVD format. Usually when I order movies I don't check if it is in VHS or DVD and have always received DVD -- so I never thought to check it. Please advise, because I'd like to order one for my parents. Thank you.
