This is a film I love. Primarily I enjoy it for Donald Crisp's performance. He rules with an iron fist and a warm heart. The family structure precedes what will follow in the Cavalry pictures. My favorite scene (at least one of them) is when after Crisp has the blow up with his sons the only one lef...

"The Rockford Files" is my favorite theme. Mike Post my be the best TV composer.

Also thought "The Equalizer" had a pretty cool theme.

Ken: You're talking two different parties. Democrats aren't going to vote for Powell for the reasons you note. Republicans aren't going to vote for O'Bama because he's liberal and relatively inexperienced. I don't think either party is going to throw somebody out there that will draw a big enough po...

The scene where the singers come around to sing to Maureen O'Hara is just lovely. The look on her face, thinking Wayne ordered it, is so warm. Wayne, looking embarassed because he didn't, is just as good. I even like the relationship between O'Hara and McLaglen is wonderful in its bizarre way.

If it was it must have been one of the most miserable failures. I think if you want to go that far then shouldn't there have been a lot more things happen that day.

Gordon Scott, who played Tarzan in 5 films during the 1950's died in Baltimore Monday. He was 79.

Personally, I think the change has to start from inside . . . And you would be right. Until people decide to take repsonsibility for what they do and understand that actions have consequences nothing will change. People have to get past the thought that everyhting that is wrong is not somebody else...

Take out that paragraph and there seems little with which to argue.

Moira:

Such fine timing. Just last week I got Jack Benny's show on DVD from Netflix. Man, that was funny. One that was really good was Jack casting a show that would do his life story. I'm waiting on the other discs to follow.

The Beatles: The Moody Blues: Dan Fogelberg: The Rippingtons: Jane Olivor (anyone heard of her?): Earl Klugh: Andy Williams: John Barry and others

Beethoven: Brahms: Tchaikovsky: Copland

Since classical music was brought up in this thread I thought I'd mention, just in case, that Mistislav Rostropovich died on Friday in Russia. One of the most renowned cellists he was also famous in my area as he lead the National Symphony Orchestra (Wash DC) for 15 years or so. Critics around here ...

You're welcome Danny. My wife had the idea to have him draw this for me for Christmas. "Bedtime for Sniffles" is one of my favorite cartoons. It's not a laugh-out-loud cartoon as much as it is an adorable one. It is required viewing in our house every Christmas. The drawing hangs, neatly f...

Danny: Here is the picture of Sniffles I talked about. (Thanks to Mo for helping me.) It was done by a friend as a Christmas present at my wife's request. He did it from a freeze frame of "Bedtime for Sniffles." It's the one where he waits for Santa. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u20/...

You summed it up quite well. It's much deeper than a "changing of the west" picture. I never thought of Valance, the man, as the last of a dying breed, he was just a man who made that town miserable. I'm not sure Doniphan is doing anything more (at that moment) than saving his friend. I'm ...

"Law and "Order" (1990- ) has always been my favorite. Anyone remember "Cop Rock"?
