Damn, pick a favorite Jimmy Stewart movie? I love “Shenandoah”, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”, along with many of his Westerns, but holy smokes, we’re talking about one of the hottest Hollywood Stars of the ages! Were I to pick just one, I’d have to go with “Vertigo”, Stewart and Kim Novack, Along with a young Barbara Belgedes. It’s always been, for my moneys worth, the best he’s ever done. (Of course, I had a boyhood crush on Kim Novack,so take as you may.) They did another together, “Bell, Book, And Candle”, and Jack Lemon was another favorite actor of mine. But I always thought that Audie Murphy’s “Destry” was the better. Marlene Dietrich wasn’t near as good looking as Maria Blanchard. 7mm
"Preserving the Constitution, fighting off the nibblers and chippers, even nibblers and chippers with good intentions, was once regarded by conservatives as the first duty of the citizen. It still is." � Wesley Pruden
Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
The man was truly exceptional in every facet of his life, one of the hardest actors in history to select 1 favorite movie.
Lets not forget that in WWII he was a Captain Bomber Pilot that won the highest award the Airforce had to offer, he won the Distinguished Flying Cross. My best friend won one as well and he actually reminded me of Stewart. Not only did he win the DFC, he retired as a Brigadier General. He was the perfect choice to star in Strategic Air Command.
As mentioned Rear Window with Grace Kelly was an excellent Alfred Hitchcock movie, I remember still to this day the first time I watched it about 50 years ago how I was riveted to the screen both by the suspense as well as the beauty of Kelly.
Another Hitchcock classic was The Man Who knew To Much with Doris Day, another great movie.
The man simply made this world a better place to live.
