    I do love me High Plains Drifter, one of my faves (also featuring Clint as a man with no name, sorta).
    OMG, you haven't seen "The Searchers?" Please make sure you do, soon. Wayne deserved an Oscar for that role. Very dark. Several times in the fiim somebody says something and Wayne responds "that'll be the day." It impressed a young kid in Lubbock enough to write a song. That device was also used in "Big Jake," where periodically people would say: "You're Jacob McCandles? I thought you wuz dead." And Duke would reply "not hardly."

      There's a crapload of old movies I haven't seen. I didn't start getting into them until the past few years. I had a severe dis-connect with movies made before I was a movie fan, actually. Dunno why. Now that I can appreciate what they offer, my queue is loaded with them. A few snuck through the cracks before then (mainly westerns and such) because they always used to play on holidays. Since we were usually at my grandparents, that was what was on (hence the previous old westerns I mentioned).

      The only other mentionable movie I remember (and I have to see it again) is "The Great Escape" with Steve McQueen. I remember liking it, but it was so long ago I forgot why I liked it.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        "Rio Bravo" -- also excellent. Plus Angie Dickinson is HOT.

          I remember seeing her in other things, although I don't remember what. Yeah.

            I liked Rio Bravo in Get Shorty.

                No doubt I saw many of them before they were "old." LOL. But "The Searchers" may be Ford's best effort, Wayne's best effort and the best western of them all. Shot in monument vallley. With lots of the Ford stock company: Ward Bond, Patrick Wayne, Ken Curtis, that bald guy with the Swedish accent who was in every Wayne film, and that guy who always acted like he had a screw loose (also seemingly in every Wayne film). I cannot recommend it more highly.

                  Maybe I'll bump up that one. I haven't watched a western in a while. I'm due.

                    AFI ranks it the number one western. See it, then let me know what you think. I can't imagine you won't like it. Maybe not your favorite, but an extraordinarily good film. Wayne was never better.

                      I think I'll time it for next weekend (not this coming weekend, I have some plans that need attending to). I will definitely let you know my thoughts.
