I've got to ditto the above selections as some of my favorites.
I loved
The Quiet Man, as well as its western counterpart,
McClintock.
The humor of these two movies just makes me laugh to think about them. They are basically the same story with a different setting. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara starred in both of them, and the magic between them on the screen was incredible. I could watch either of these movies almost any time.
I also like the
Tom Selleck and/or Sam Elliott westerns:
Quigley Down Under
The Sacketts
Monte Walsh ("Mr. Slocum, you can't have any idea how little I care...")
The Shadow Riders
Crossfire Trail
Last Stand at Saber River
The Quick and the Dead (not the Sharon Stone one)
Conagher
You probably guessed by now that I also like the
Clint Eastwood westerns, too. If so, you're right.
I also like quite a few war movies, especially those with John Wayne in them. Another favorite war movie is
Midway, without John Wayne, but with Charlton Heston. A couple other favorite war movies are
Saving Private Ryan and
Pearl Harbor.
Besides westerns and war movies, I also like good action and drama movies.
Here are just a few of my favorites:
The Hunt for Red October/Patriot Games/Clear and Present Danger/The Sum of All Fears (Tom Clancey's Jack Ryan stories)
Forrest Gump
Cast Away
Radio
National Treasure
Men In Black/Men In Black II
Ben Hur
The Ten Commandments
Lastly, I'll mention just a few of the animated movies that I like:
Cars
Toy Story/Toy Story II
The Incredibles
The Lion King
These are by no means all my favorite movies. These are just some of the many that I could watch over and over again, and some of them were mentioned because no one else brought them up.
