Nice one! Next to The Searchers, this is my favourite Wayne movie and it features one of my favourite character actors of all time: Victor McLaglen!- DNO

Movies That Kill Off the Main Character
Bridge on the River Kwai: probably the best way to resolve the Colonel Nicholson character. Lawrence of Arabia: Heck, they kill him off in the opening scenes! Khartoum: When they are dealing with a historical character like Gordon (or Lawrence, for that matter), they really have little choice.- DNO

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Beach Party (1963). Watching it right now on TBS. It's worth watching just to enjoy Harvey Lembeck's Eric Von Zipper character.- DNO

"WE LIKE TO FIRE.." (RAF fighter pilots do a Take That spoof!)
"Take that, Hitler". Hilarious but I just spent ages looking at oodles of other episodes! Absolutely great idea...loved the Terrible Tudors as well. I'm going to send the link to several old history teacher contacts. I'm sure they'll enjoy them as well. Thanks for posting that, Paddy. -
What Are You Reading
Years ago I got addicted and read all the Hornblower series, all the Bolitho series and all of Dudley Pope's Ramage series. I could never seem to get into O'Brian...perhaps I've had about as much of the Napoleonic vintage Royal Navy as I can take! However, I recently read Julian Stockwin's...- DNO

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
It's a movie that can be watched a gajillion times! I always enjoy the scene in which the British paras are finally relieved by ground forces at Pegasus Bridge. "Hold until relieved." I believe that Richard Todd, who plays the commander of the airborne forces that took the bridge, was...- DNO

Movies That Kill Off the Main Character
But if memory serves, the main character doesn't die in the film. Doesn't it end with his wonderful farewell speech? (Have the DVD around here somewhere...time to watch it again!)- DNO

nifty device
I have a similar item in a stingy brim Stetson Milan. It's clear plastic and even has the Stetson logo on it, if memory serves. -
Movies That Kill Off the Main Character
Gallipoli. Archy's fate was a stunner, but essential to the 'message' of the film. The same was true for Lt Terrien's fate in Intimate Enemies, or Morant's demise in Breaker Morant. Sometimes the death of the main character is essential to the film.- DNO

Pirate Radio, again...this time I watched the deleted scenes as well. They're funnier than the film! They also explain a lot of holes in the plot (as well as the hole in the ship).- DNO
