I started watching The Lawless 90's from 1936 last night Those old B westerns were simple, but still better than most , if not all the new stuff.

I'm a huge John Wayne fan. Have many of his later westerns on DVD. Big Jake, Rooster Cogburn, True Grit, The War Wagon, The Sons of Katie Elder, The Cowboys, McClintock. Excellent movies all...... But the old B movies suck by any measure.

I've seen a few of the B westerns of the Duke's. Some aren't that bad, but I do enjoy the later "A" list films a lot more.
I've got most of his (my favorites) on DVD, not to mention Fonda, Stewart, Bronson and others. I keep my eyes peeled for films that I enjoy, as almost all the modern films leave me cold.
Good plots and real scenery and stunts compared to recycled plots with overdone violence and computer simulated explosions?
No thanks.

Weren't all his movies B movies, maybe with the exception of The Shootist.

The Duke was a pretty poor excuse for an actor.

As opposed to the stellar artist on Hollywierd's Silver Screens now? Not to mention the fact that 90% of the are limousine liberal douches flying around in private jets while pushing socialism on us common folk? Very few of them I would cross the street to whiz on if they were on fire.

I can't remember the title but he was in the NW Territories working with the mounties. In one scene he was paddling a canoe down a river, wearing a big white hat, and squatting in the canoe wearing SPURS. There wasn't a horse for 100 miles.

Many things are better than what they made in the 30’s but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a Model A, even though you would rather drive a Yukon every day...

They were no better or no worse than any other movies of the same era but I do like watching them.
If nothing else he's still in his prime and could really set a horse as opposed to the newer saddle horn hugging Rooster Cogburn era.

Ben Johnson and Slim Pickens we’re both rodeo cowboys. Slim about ended his career riding an elk at a dude ranch in Montana...

I seem to recall reading that he really didn't like horses.

Did seem fond of Spanish ladies and boats. Owned a converted minesweeper?

Never said anything about not liking him, just that he was a piss poor excuse for an actor; never held a candle to James Stewart, Steve McQueen, Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin & Robert Shaw, just to name a few.

So please, just don't piss down my neck & tell be it's raining.
