1.Magnificent Seven starring: Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Eli Wallach, Robert Vaughn directed by: John Sturges April 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.12
This movie was made in the days before film-makers realized that people were sophisticated enough to recognize corn when they saw it. Horz Bucholz's impetuous kid act was just total corn. Talk about bad acting. Robert Vaughn deliberately affects some kind of bizarre weakling voice quality. The whole premise of the movie was that the villagers were wothless cowards but Bronson goes off his head proclaiming how brave they are because they're dirt scratching farmers. The 40 banditos ride into the village and the hired guns(the seven) expose themselves in positions where they could easily be shot by less than half of 40 banditos. The banditos get the drop on the seven when the seven return to the village and the ultimate in movie absurdity happens. The banditos ... Read More

2.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: $25.00
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

3.The Sacketts starring: Sam Elliott, Tom Selleck, Jeff Osterhage, Glenn Ford, Ben Johnson directed by: Robert Totten July 22, 1994

As always we received the DVD's in record time from USA. Both DVD's were excellent and as they were from Louis L'Amour's books which my husband has all of his books, we did enjoy the films. We like buying off Amazon as we know we will get a good product. Thank You

4.Man Who Shot Liberty Valance starring: James Stewart, John Wayne, Vera Miles, Lee Marvin, Edmond O'Brien directed by: John Ford February 19, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.56
Stylistically, this is a very interesting film from director John Ford. The film begins with alot of colorful characterizations familiar to audiences with films as diverse as "Stagecoach" and "The Searchers". There's also alot of brutal realism which would anticipate the work of Sam Peckinpah. It's also interesting that Ford contrasts the traditional western as represented by John Wayne with the new west represented by James Stewart who made a series of "psychological" westerns in and around this time. Also noteworthy is the presence of Lee Van Cleef who made his mark in the terrific Sergio Leone westerns in the sixties. What is Ford trying to say here? Probably sensing that his days behind the camera were nearing an end he probably understood that a re-evaluation was in order. The paradox here ... Read More

5.Dark Command (Colorized) starring: Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Walter Pidgeon, Roy Rogers, George 'Gabby' Hayes directed by: Raoul Walsh June 22, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.48
After Wayne hit the jackpot in John Ford's groundbreaking Western STAGECOACH (1939) he was quickly reunited with his co-star Claire Trevor in ALLEGHENY UPRISING (1939) and again here in the DARK COMMAND (1940). Directed by Raoul Walsh, the man who incidentally gave young Michael Morrison his first starring role as a very young "John Wayne" in THE BIG TRAIL (1929) but it was a box office failure and Wayne was relegated to mainly B-Westerns until rescued by John Ford. The fact based story is from the period starting just before the outbreak of the American Civil War depicting growing tensions on the Kansas Missouri border leading up to the infamous William Quantrill and his guerrillas burning down the town of Laurence, Kansas on August 21 1863. Based on the novel by W R Burnett Will Cantrill (Walter ... Read More

6.Gunfighter starring: Gregory Peck, Helen Westcott, Millard Mitchell, Jean Parker, Karl Malden directed by: Henry King January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.77
I'm really surprised this isn't on DVD and more accessible to the public. Gregory Peck is first rate in his role as Ringo, the aging gun-fighter who's taking a hard look at life and wanting to change his ways. And Millard Mitchell was impressive in his supporting role. I loved the foreshadowing all through the picture and I was left stunned by the ending. Wasn't expecting that from a 1950's movie. I'm not a great fan of the western genre (although I'm learning to appreciate it) but this movie is beyond genre; it's a good, solid story with a great leading man.

7.El Dorado starring: John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, James Caan, Charlene Holt, Paul Fix directed by: Howard Hawks February 19, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
Mitchum(Baby,I don't care) seems to be having the most fun in playing the part of the drunken sheriff; his performance seemed most convincing.( Overall Dvd quality is good and with fine opening credits.)If they played this for farce,they may have gotten away with it. 2 Spitoons...just for Bob. (This was a big hit when it opened way back when so I guess they DID get away with it)Your move.

8.True Grit starring: John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Jeremy Slate, Robert Duvall directed by: Henry Hathaway February 19, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.50
True Grit (Special Collector's Edition)This is the movie John Wayne won an Oscar for his performance and well deserved it truely is! Excellent script, excellent directing and most of all, excellent acting. The movie was perfectly cast and all the actors delivered their best. The most beautiful locations added to the movie presentation. They have a featurette on this dvd about the location of the movie---and it is a real town. All I can say is the entire movie is so impressive and I would recommend this dvd as a must have for any film library.

9.Sons of Katie Elder starring: John Wayne, Dean Martin, Martha Hyer, Michael Anderson Jr., Earl Holliman directed by: Henry Hathaway February 19, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.36
Please, no more John Wayne-Dean Martin movies. Just as slow moving and horsey as they get.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.00
