3. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance |
|
Cuz you get Jimmy + the Duke + Lee Marvin + Vera Miles + scads of character actors + great story + great message about America + John Ford directing.
"My name is Ransom Stoddard, attorney-at-law!"
+ cameo by John Carradine!

5. Hard to choose, but I'd say "Harvey" |
|
"The name is Dowd, Elwood P."
"...it's better to be nice than smart" (or something to that effect).

6. "Phoenix" is my favourite, too. |
|
"Liberty Valence" is too dark, and frankly, until Ted Turner did us all a favour and bought the copyright, I was totally SICK of seeing "Life" 24-7 during December. I remeber one year I was running it, and EVERY un-scambled movie channel in the arc was running it, too. 27 outlets for "Don'tcha KNOW me Martinin? I'm GEORGE!!!" all going at the same time.
