I agree. That's the problem EasyEd.
I just did Jimmy Stewart movies as an example.
I can't limit myself to 6 movies of all time.
My brain can't wrap around that concept.
Sorry Cloud9Gal! :icon_lol:

I mean, "The Duke", 6 favorites? Impossible...

Red River
True Grit
Rooster Cogburn
Island In The Sky
Stagecoach
The Cowboys
The Shootist

The Searchers
In Harm's Way
The Longest Day
Flying Leathernecks

North To Alaska
The Alamo
Rio Bravo
The High and Mighty
The Angel and The Badman
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon

Then there's Henry Fonda.... :icon_lol:
 
Hey All,

You've got it Dain. The greatest trio ever Wayne, Stewart and Fonda (and the accompanying female leads like Hepburn and O'Hara). There's other's I'd put up near em (like Poitier, Y Brenner and Newman for examples of just a couple) but these 3 are it for me.

I guess that makes me a fossil - but so be it.

-Ed-
 
I can't name just 5!

How about 5 days worth of movies... still not enough... would not even finish with John Wayne in that time! Then still to cover Jimmy Stewart.

Of course there are movies and then there are mini-series such as Winds of War,Centennial and Band of Brothers!

I guess if I had to name only 5... had to be... pick any war/aviation movies that were always on late weekend nights... then Dad would let me stay up and drink coffee with him.... so I would pick any 5 out of hundreds of times that happened. :jump:
 
Oh man... This is difficult...


Star Wars
Star Gate
Das Boot
Blade Runner
Pride and Prejudice
The Prince of Egypt


I have a few more, but I think those are the top six..

Star Wars is of course, the first one to come out, 1976.
