True Grit

LOOKAYANNER Wrote:Wow!!! Some of you guys are really good movie critics. :igiveup:
10 Oscar nominations. What a terrible movie!! Maybe you're waiting for Saw XII to come out so you can see what a great movie is all about.:biggrin:

And by the way, John Wayne is one of the greatest character actors of all time. Now, he wouldn't have been much playing Hamlet but the man knew how to make a Western. He was one of the best and there's very few of his movies that I pass on if they are showing TV.

His True Grit movie was very good and he won an Oscar for his role in it. This movie is very good as well, albeit with a different style.
Google up the most popular actors of the 1940's and 50's and you'll see that John Wayne was rated #1 by movie fans for about 10 straight years.

And on another note, I think the best Western ever made was 1969's The Wild Bunch with Robert Ryan, William Holden, Warren Oates, Earnest Borgnine, and Ben Johnson.

Too bad i wasnt around in the 30s or i probably would have liked him considering it was him, clark gable, or charlie chaplin (of which i had to watch every move of when i was in college). I really hope you werent around then and still posting on bgr because thats addiction.
When i was in school we had to watch a john wayne movie for a cinema class i had taken in college but i left when it started lol.
