We will be getting a new female German shorthaired pointer hunting dog and would love to name her something from the John Wayne universe. Example, Hondo, Marion, Angel, etc.

Ideas?

So, I finally got and saw John Ford's The Quiet Man on DVD for the first time. The only one with English subtitles too. It was great and funny at the same time. Talk about another movie with Maureen O'Hara (boy, was she hot back then) and Ward Bond.

P.S.: The famous kissing scene was later seen on T.V. in Steven Spielberg's E.T. too.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about these two actors I got this picture in a random box from a storage unit years ago

I can't wait to see that movie next week or so.

Dad has been bugging me to watch The Quiet Man for a few days, not that I had a problem with that besides finding the dedicated time to do it uninterrupted.

I absolutely love Barry Fitzgerald in this movie, to me Michaleen Flynn was the greatest side character in any of his movies. The Duke had so many great actors along side him but I will always come back to this.

Who would you all feel is the greatest side character? Just wondering

For those who haven't seen Rio Lobo yet, here's the full movie on YouTube.

That'll be the day...

Has anyone read any biographies about the Duke? I have read several. Which ones have you read?

Which John Wayne movie was the first one you watched in your life?

Me? The War Wagon.

Followed by Hatari, Rio Bravo, El Dorado, Rio Lobo, and recently, Hondo.

First, John Wayne plays a guy named Sean Thornton in The Quiet Man.

Then, he plays a guy named Sean Mercer in Hatari.

And finally, he plays a guy named Cole Thornton in El Dorado.

Most of his other roles have names starting with "John" too. Lol.

What is your favorite John Wayne movie?

I just finished seeing Hondo for the first time tonight. First time I saw Geraldine Page in live-action as well.

I should've known Geraldine Page was the same actress who voiced Madam Medusa in Disney's The Rescuers and was married to Rip Torn who voiced Zeus in Disney's Hercules too.

I dunno if anyone else noticed, but when I first saw El Dorado, somehow, James Caan's character suddenly reminded me of James Coburn's character from The Magnificent Seven when it came to the whole knife throwing thing.

Next thing you know, those 2 actors played together with another one named James (Cromwell) in that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, Eraser.

Could The Magnificent Seven have possibly served as another inspiration for El Dorado, next to Rio Bravo?

Did anyone notice any similarities in particular between all 3 John Wayne movies mentioned within the title besides the fact that John Wayne played in them?

John Wayne has some excellent fight scenes in his movies, but I've always had a question about him. Did John Wayne train in boxing?

Does anyone own The Quiet Man on region 1 NTSC DVD and WITH English subtitles?

If yes, which DVD version do you recommend I get soon?

Does this look like a legit crew mug?

If I wanted to buy The Quiet Man on DVD region 1 WITH English subtitles, which one should I order from Amazon/eBay?

Recently I watched Howard Hawks' "Rio Bravo," and I was blown away by its powerful depiction of addiction. Through the character Dude, played by Dean Martin, "Rio Bravo" demonstrates the negative effects of addiction, as well as our tendencies to continually identify with our worst impulses. Dude has been a town drunk for so long that hardly anybody can remember a time he wasn't that way. He's built a reputation for being a wasted mess; others view him this way, and deep down, it's how he views himself. However, the film shows him overcoming this reputation and regaining the respect of his friend John Chance (played by John Wayne), and others.

However, Dude's recovering is rocky, and he quite nearly falls back into drinking hard liquor before the movie is over. He's been stuck in addiction for so long that sobriety doesn't feel right, and he's begun to find comfort in the drinking. But one thing keeps his head above water, and that's purpose. Being the right-hand man to his friend John Chance in his time of need.

The film shows us that overcoming addiction isn't merely about practicing severe self-discipline, but rather replacing our bad habits with productivity and purpose. Surely, we are best equipped to ditch our worst addictions when we instead set our sights on meaningful struggles in our daily lives.

I made a short video on this. Please check it out!

I've been searching for 2 days and can't find it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
