Some brilliant choices there people 8)

I remember when we got our first video recorder in the early 1980s.. a massive, chunky, big behemoth bastard of a toploader thing made by Ferguson I think. It quickly became the altar of all things watchable in our cramped household.
BLAZING SADDLES and THE QUIET MAN were the two staple VHS diets.
Both these classics have endured quite a bit of revisionist negativity from the handwringing sects of present day politicos, but (in the case of the former) the sheer outrageousness and (with regard to the latter) simple sincerity of both these works makes them timeless.

Mel Brooks’ scathingly brilliant pisstake on the Western is so full of relentless gems that it is hard to pull one from the mine, but Harvey Korman’s delicious turn as arch-schemer Hedley Lamarr is unforgettable…

“Men, you are about to embark on a great crusade to stamp out runaway decency in the west. Now you will only be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor”

BLAZING SADDLES

As for John Ford’s 1952 masterpiece.. I totally agree with you, eve, when you say John Wayne deserved an Oscar. For behind all the fun and frolics was a subtlety rarely seen in his performances as the damaged and deep Trooper Thornton.
Barry Fitzgerald played the marvellous Michaleen Flynn btw, and revelled in it.
Yet again, too many quotes to muster, but this one springs to mind from “Red Will Danaher”..

“He’ll regret it till his dying day, if ever he lives that long”

Here’s the full fight sequence…

THE QUIET MAN

Wonderful work Mrs Teapot =D>
