Topic: The "guilt them into watching The Cowboys" thread

Trey, at least in my case, is preaching to the choir in insisting everyone should watch the best John Wayne movie, if not the best western, ever made. So, how can we force the issue?

If availability is somehow an issue, when I went into Walmart the other day to look for a theatrical version of Superman (tons of great animated versions for sale, but not that), I instead picked up a $4 copy of The Cowboys. You can, too smile

I'm on board.

Paper Moon and The Cowboys would make a pretty weird double feature. Who wouldn't love going from Tatum O'Neal to Slim Pickens?

I had a blast at the recording of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid so I am all for John Wayne-my grandmother loves a good Western. I'm sure I can borrow her copy wink

I'm another fan of The Cowboys, it's bloody good. And I am really not a fan of the genre at all. It's a coming of age drama though, maybe that is why I like it.

Would love to.  So far we're still on Step One: convincing the rest of the panel to watch it.  smile

How about enticing them with the gateway drug that is Young Guns? Then accidentally on purpose replace Young Guns II in the player with the bluray of The Searchers - my favourite western of them all.

And if you haven't yet seen The Searchers on bluray, then I would highly recommend it. That and Ben-Hur have resulted in the most satisfying experience with the HD format for me so far - they really do look superb.

I still want to know how you're going to quilt me into watching cowboys.

Wait, guilt? Oh, that's not as interesting.

How about a double header, starting with "The Magnificent Seven?" That should get everyone in the mood

I don't have much to contribute, other than I was raised on John Wayne movies. His characters helped define manhood for me, my father and his father before him. The next one a' you what starts spreadin' pernicious rumors of cross-dressing or other fetishism, I'm gonna shoot ya'.

Bring back the guilt...some day, they will watch this film.

And like it!

Holy shit.  So that's what The Big Bang Theory is like?   That's some weapons-grade crap right there.

Anyway, as for the Trey Stokes action figure... tempting.  Very tempting.
