I didn't want to snake Rudedawg's (now freefallinghttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif) DVD thread. I had asked if anyone could name five movies the "Duke" died in? For you young wippersnappers the "Duke"(John Wayne)was the original hero he didn't need machine guns, and could whip all comers in a saloon fight. Women swound(sp?), villans fled, puppies howledhttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

OK, here are my five, dredged from memory.
I'm sure about three, but not so sure of the last two.

1. The Alamo
2. The Shootist
3. The Sands of Iwo Jima (don't remember if the title is The Battle of...)
4. The Cowboys
5. a diving movie with Red Witch in the title

I'll get the exact title for #5 after Johnny D gives me the go-ahead...

You betcha pilgrim!

Forgive me John D. but Katheryn Hepburn didn't swoon. She was down right crotchety. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

You are right though, he was and still is the Hero of all times! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/338.gif

Does a bear sh*t in the woods? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Hmm, well the Alamo Movie was one. Thinking real hard and can't rember if he died in any of the WWII movies (can't rember). I'm thinking the Sands of Iwo Jima, and there was one Cavalary film I think too.

That's only three I can think of.

Sheesh, fill me in please http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Don't tell my dad that I missed four of them, he'll skin me...
It took too much thinkin to get the five I did.

hhhhhmmmmmmmmm
I've never even SEEN Central Airport.
Liberty Vallance threw me, 'cause of what you said. I didn't see him die.
Wild Wind, and Fighting SeaBees, I'm kinda fuzzy on. I need to go rent them again, it's been too long.

5 out of 9, my dad's gonna be pissed.... http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/eek.gif

BTW, I just bought three black and white prints of the Duke, signed by the artist, Dan Brewer. I'll get them framed later this month, and send you a pic...

Also, I'm getting the Quiet Man, Iwo Jima, and Rio Grande in a boxed set DVD. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif

Gotta love the Duke.... http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...sfiring_v1.gif

RudeDawg,5outof9 thats better than most. I liked the Quite man,differant from what you'd expect from the Duke. Maureen O'Hare is my favorite older actress love that flaming red hair.

After taking your test....I have concluded....I'm a Duke rookie. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/disgust.gif

Katheryn Hepburn was a broad in every sense of the word, one of the last. When she was younger OOOOh baby, if you get the chance to see "Baby" with Katheryn and Cary Grant watch its realy funny.
