The end fight scene from The Prodigal Son.



I read Jackie Chans autobiography this year. He attended the same Hong Kong Chinese Opera school at the same time as Yuen Biao (white headband in this scene) and Sammo Hung. One of the funnier anecdotes amidst the recounting of general beatings and cruelty of the Opera School. Was that the young Yuen Biao was so tired once in a gymnastic training session. That he fell asleep balancing on his head.

One of the greatest American Westerns to have been filmed wasn't even a movie...."Lonesome Dove" was a TV mini-series and this scene starring Robert DuVall and Tommy Lee Jones was one of the best scenes in the whole mini-series.....

'Lonesome Dove' and 'Roots' were the two T.V. mini-series that were my all-time favorites tommie.

Hello

Please try these by John Ford:
They were expendable ( with John wayne)
Searchers ( john Wayne)
My darling Clementine (Henry Fonda)
Grapes of Wrath ( Henry Fonda)


Others:
Red River ( with Wayne and Clift)
Ivan the terrible part 1 (the end scene) and part2 (party scene/ watch the decors)
Watch these scenes and then you understand why Stalin hated it.

Nosferatu (Max Schreck/ No horror movie beat that one)
Bride of Frankenstein (Karloff/ actually based on horror scenes from world war I trenches/ James Whale did his best job creating it )
The third man ( end scene where Joseph Cotton goes away/ look at the girl's face with the music and of course Orson Welles)
Lady of Shanghai ( mirror scene by Welles)
Hidden fortress by Kurosawa ( george lucas stole starwars from that japanese midieval story / stunning girl in there)
Just a few

The Pale Rider was a man of few words tommie.

Notice how Pale Rider let the six of them finish reloading before he shot 'em?

Now that's class. _
