It's an awesome movie on so many levels. In one way one can compare it to an old comfortable pair of slippers that one wants to slip in and enjoy the feeling.

Just last night we watched an oldie: Once Upon A Time in the West. One has to admire those spaghetti westerns After all, they made Clint Eastwood's career. I agree with you about Chief Dan George.

I think westerns are my go-to more often than any other genre. These movies I like because they went a little deeper into the heart and mind of a cowboy than the depth of his tan.

I hop...Cheryl, I'm so delighted you stopped by. I hoped you would because we both love western movies. I've only seen Shane once and ditto for the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, so that's why I didn't include them because they're not repeats of mine. But I realize they popular classics. I was tempted to include Quigley Down Under, which we have watched so many times.

So many great movies here--I love all the John Wayne movies and like you and your hubby, Gary and I have bits and pieces of the dialogue memorized and we know what's coming. Some other favorites of mine are Shane (and the book ends differently than the iconic movie ending--"SHANE! Come back!") LOL Also, I love many of the Clint Eastwood movies, and Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-88593329442466966552020-07-06T13:28:11.243-05:002020-07-06T13:28:11.243-05:00I bought the book but confess I never had a chance...I bought the book but confess I never had a chance to read it as my son needed it for a book report, so I don't know about his writing. I just know Kevin urged him to write the book first and get it published, then he'd read it. Michael even stayed in Kevin's guesthouse to write the book rather than live in his car. I don't know if he also wrote the screenplay, although it won an Elizabeth Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553904624219542353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-9392492025096516252020-07-06T13:15:14.179-05:002020-07-06T13:15:14.179-05:00Thank you, Christine.

I only have to disagree with one thing and it's that you stated the movie Dances with Wolves was adapted from an "excellent novel written by Michael Blake." I guess you read a different novel--I thought it was a very poorly written piece of fiction and Kevin Costner worked a miracle bringing it to such cinematic heights!ninsthewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038887763302269193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-16369965119366213802020-07-06T08:28:12.714-05:002020-07-06T08:28:12.714-05:00What a great list.
