I hope they release Blue Steel. That's my favorite of the Lone Star stuff.

I'm surprised that The Shootist is not on BR yet.

His two detective movies were duds.

Brannigan is awesome. McQ is also good, but Brannigan is so much better.

I thought they were rather dull. Wayne just doesn't fit in that kind of environment. He was too old and over the hill by that time.

In Brannigan he wasn't too old and over the hill, in McQ I grant that he may have been too old to play that type of cynical cop. Brannigan was basically a western in modern dress. And I thought Duke fit that environment pretty good in Brannigan.

I've seen that one, but otherwise ignored the Lone Star stuff and most of the pre-Stagecoach titles- always thought they were programmers that didn't really have much to say or that didn't really give him a chance to be John Wayne. Any recommendations?

rkolinski · 05-08-2016, 06:56 PM

In no particular order (except for release date) my eleven are:

The Big Trail
Stagecoach
Angel and the Badman
Red River
Sands of Iwo Jima
The Quiet Man
The Seachers
Rio Bravo
The Alamo
True Grit
The Shootist

Hot dog! Doesn't it usually mean a month or two out at the most? Would love this for Father's Day....

Warner Archive keeps on rolling! They've officially announced John Ford's They Were Expendable (1945)

Supplies are dwindling. Troops are hopelessly outnumbered. But even in defeat there is victory. The defenders of the Philippines – including PT-boat skippers John Brickley (Robert Montgomery) and Rusty Ryan (John Wayne) – will give the U.S. war effort time to regroup after the devastation of Pearl Harbor.

Director John Ford’s World War II tale knows its battle-scarred topic firsthand. Montgomery was himself a Pacific PT-boat commander and a valorous Bronze Star recipient. Ford filmed the Academy Award-winning documentary The Battle of Midway. And Wayne creates a portrait of patriotic resolve as only he can. They Were Expendable salutes all who expended themselves during some of the war’s bleakest hours.

For anyone looking to pick up some early Wayne titles, DD has a BOGO deal on Olive Titles. You can get many John Wayne titles for 2 for $17.50, which is probably as cheap as you'll find them

Too bad it doesn't say anything about how long the sale will go on.

Duke_45 · 07-21-2016, 02:10 PM

Just a heads up that Olive's recent release of "Neath The Arizona Skies" is down to $12 at Amazon. I haven't read any reviews yet of the transfer, but ill blind buy for that price.

Duke_45 · 10-03-2016, 08:47 PM

Does anyone have specifics on Kino releasing "Dakota"? I think I read it's maybe getting released in November, but can't find anything concrete...

dommie · 10-03-2016, 09:52 PM

My Top 15 Wayne films (can't name just 10):

The Searchers
Red River
Rio Bravo
Hondo
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
The Quiet Man
El Dorado
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
McLintock
In Harm's Way
Rio Grande
The Commancheros
The Alamo
North to Alaska
The Sons of Katie Elder

Most of these are already on Blu-ray.
Note: I didn't include How the West Was Won or The Longest Day as I don't consider those primarily Wayne films. His roles in those films I consider to be cameos (part of the large ensemble cast list).

My question is, when are we going to get the following titles on Blu? It's been long enough.

In Harm's Way
The Alamo
The Sons of Katie Elder
Circus World (this may be one of the rarest titles in John Wayne's resume)
Blood Alley
The High and the Mighty

Last I heard, MGM/FOX was doing a barebones retouch of the Alamo for Blu-Ray release, but that was a few years ago.

Circus World is available on DVD & Blu-Ray (Region locked, however I think) over in the UK.
