Have you ever heard of John Paterson McGowan?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 10 May 25

The photo is of a kookaburra that came to visit. Nothing to do with the discussion apart from being typically Australian. I’m reading a book which is a collection of Australian tales and stories and came across information about...

Rooster Cogburn a Movie We Watched

Kharla Jolly @kobesbuddy (78833) • East Tawas, Michigan 13 Aug 24

This was an older western movie, starring Katharine Hepburn and John Wayne. She was a woman of God, who helped Rooster in more ways than one. She could shoot a gun as accurate as any man! And in the end, the crooked had met their...

Kharla Jolly @kobesbuddy (78833) • East Tawas, Michigan 27 Jun 24

We are watching a movie tonight, Mr. Baseball starring Tom Selleck. It's fairly boring, so I went in the office to take a short break. Jay hollered, "Honey, where are you?" I had to respond with, "I'm taking a little...

The Duke

Four Walls @FourWalls (86568) • United States 30 Sep 21

My dad was a huge John Wayne fan. I’m talking life-sized stand ups in his puzzle room fan. Back in the early 2000s I asked him if he wanted to accompany me on a trip to Winterset, Iowa to see John Wayne’s birthplace. He...

No, that's not really John Wayne

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 12 Aug 18

Including in the evening at the Prairie Rose Ranch was a chance to go through the Hopalong Cassidy Movie Museum. I think I got the name right. There was memorabilia from many silver screen cowboys, and girls. John Wayne is one of...

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 1 Jan 17

We are concluding our John Wayne Movie Marathon with The Quiet Man. I love this movie. If I had the freedom to do so, I'd live in a little Irish Village and spend my days writing and my evenings at the pub. Convincing my missus...

Watching The Flying Leathernecks With John Wayne

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 1 Jan 17

The Flying Leathernecks is one of the most intense of John Wayne's WWII movies, IMHO. It also uses a lot of actual archival footage shot by combat camera crews during the war to lend realism to the scenes. This is a continuation...

The Worst Comedy Acts Of All Time - Little And Large

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 9 Dec 16

The pitch by their agent must have been simple enough. ‘Hey look, there’s a big guy, and a smaller, much thinner one. The big fella tells jokes and does impersonations, while not letting the little guy talk enough – let’s give...

Great Movie Fight Scenes - The Quiet Man

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 9 Oct 16

Spoiler alerts Much of this fabulous 1952 movie is an arrow pointing to the hilarious climactic fight between John Wayne and Victor McLagen. As the fight finally engages, the entire sleepy village springs to life. The clergy...

Awful Movies That Weren’t Saved By A Great Cast

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 4 Aug 16

Many producers assume that a big budget cast is all it takes to ensure a movie’s box office success, and squander the bulk of their budget trying to get the big names involved in their latest spectacle. Never mind the script, we...

R I P Maureen O’Hara

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 27 Oct 15

Sad to see news of the death of Hollywood legend, Maureen O’Hara, aged 95. She is best known for her role alongside John Wayne in The Quiet Man, but she also appeared in many other movies, and worked until 1994. The Christmas...

true grit

teamrose @teamrose (1492) • United States 9 Jan 11

TRUE GRIT Fans of Coen brother movies will probably find this one enjoyable. It has the requisite chuckle-moments and absurdly over-the-top characters with deadpan one-liners, although I suppose I found this one a tad less...
