Ah yes......Paint Your Wagon, the movie that featured vocals by both Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin.

Hey! i loved Paint Your Wagon! Especially Lee Marvin singing "I was born under a wandering star". Perfect movie for hobbyists and providers. Speaking as one who "has a real talent for dissipation". But my favorite is The President's Analyst with James Coburn. At least the original uncut version. And one of the best movies ever made was Little Big Man. And my wife and i used to watch Dave every time it came on cable.

Damn, damn, damn. Saw the thread title and decided to join in, then sadly demoralized when I saw that "old" meant within the last 40-years.

Agree with Paint Your Wagon just to see Marvin/Eastwood sing but my all time favorite is "To Kill a Mockingbird" best book to movie ever done IMHO, plus you get get to see Robert Duval in his first role.

When I need a new ray of hope- Return of the King
When I need some serious introspecion- Days of Wine and Roses
When I need to laugh- Porky's
When I want to think- Fort Apache
When I want to remember the old days- Animal House

Best overall- The Wind and The Lion

"Mockingbird" is my favorite non-science fiction classic. Great Hollywood intro for talented Duval as Boo Radley, but Gregory Peck immortalized the stalwart, cool-as-iced-tea attorney Atticus Finch. If all lawyers were as moral and tenacious as his character, the justice system wouldn't be the screwed up mess it is today.

Another classic fav with combating legal eagles neck-deep in a mire of controversy and based on a real court case is "Inherit the Wind." Starred Spencer Tracy, Frederic March, Gene Kelly, and a pre-Bewitched Dick York as a teacher in the Bible Belt being prosecuted for teaching evolution.

Where's Durango? You know who I'm thinking about does that in real life, in those post-orgasmic comas she goes into? You know! She's even fun when she's unconscious.

October, baby!!! Meanwhile I think I'll go watch Night at the Opera again and dream....

I already posted in this thread some time ago, but I gotta say, "Lonesome Dove", (not really a movie, a mini-series, but still movie caliber) did use the word "whore" WAY more times than any other "made for TV movie". It kind of threw me off guard when I viewed it as a teenager, and watching it again on DVD a few years ago, I was STILL taken aback by the brazzeness of the language. It made me like the film. Unlike anything I remember seeing.
