Rico,

Since you mentioned True Grit, I may have to amend one of my five to include The Shootist, Wyane's last picture.

Both films are somewhat guilty pleasures for me...the "acting" of Glenn Cambell and Kim Darby in the former, and Ron Howard (fine director, lousy actor, imo) in the later somewhat taint these films for me...but I still love 'em!

I'm sure you know the character actor Strother Martin, who has a small role as the horse trader in Grit...this guy is MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! He appeared in most of Wayne's westerns, and several Paul Newman films, among others, portraying...well, as he is quoted..."I made a good living for years playing prarie scum."

Of course, he is best known for the line form Cool hand Luke...regarding a "failure to communicate."

Strother really had a way with a line reading!

regards,

Gary
