Seemingly like half the country is today.
My vote is Sargent York. There’re sure a lot of others out there. I hope to find some I haven’t seen, or at least don’t remember. One of the pluses of getting older.
A movie that is one of my all-time favorites but not widely mentioned is; "The Light Horsemen," a story from WWI.
I dare you to watch it only one time.
i really don't have a favorite movie. i like to read books. "The Stand" by Stephen King is definitely in the 10 best books.
I wouldn't even keep a Steven King book in the old 3 holer.

i purchase my books from a second-hand store. it becomes too expensive to read a new book.
I never tire watching the classic movie ZULU
Hold Still Varmint; while I plugs Yer!
The Light Horsemen and Zulu rank right up there on my favorite list of movies.

Man, that Walter Matheu was gettin' busy with a Bullwhip! He never did that to Jack Lemon.

Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.

Left out William Faulkner, Kipling, among many others, and another I really like is Richard Russo - "Nobody's Fool". These days I get most of my books for free from the Arkansas Digital Library Consortium for my Kindle.

i should really buy a kindle, but i'm old fashioned and i like to hold my books and go on read them one (or 2, 3, 4.....) more time. add to fact, i just like them.
He was whipping that candle flame like there was a million dollars riding on a bet.
I never get tired of the old movies.

My wife gave me a Kindle about 10 years ago. Took me a spell to get used to it, but I really like it. I have about everything from Macaulay's History of England 4x read, to Flayderman's Guide to Antique Firearms (it goes to gun shows with me), to Shots Fired in Anger 3x read, to Ordnance went up front 3x, to a Rifleman went to War 4x, etc. On the other hand I do like my pulp - John Sandford, Lee Child, and C.J. Box. I am on my second reading of those pulp books, and per the Arkansas Digital Library Consortium they are free. Benefit of age is with the pulp books by the time I start them again I have pert near forgotten the plots and they are bright and shiny again. I like regular books, but as voracious as I am on books the Kindle has been great to easily carry with me down at my shop, or out in the woods.

you guys ain't helping!!!!!!!maybe i should look into it.
Me too Buddy, I have a nice library in my man room. I even have kept a large handcrafted glass front gun cabinet stocked with old favorites in there even though, I have 2 safes for most. I just want to reach out and touch my stuff when I want to.

Humphrey Bogart "Sahara" with Lloyd Bridges and one of my favorite character actors J Carrol Naish.
Saw that as a boy, really like it. Later I became a tank commander myself. Every few years I revisit it. My favorite Bogey, for sure.
