Good "Ole" Movies - George C. Scott aka Mordecai C. Jones

[gwtwdbss]

Today was a hell ride from South Bend IN back to the Dayton/Cincy area. I went through three separate snow squalls while around the lakes and it was a bit distressing. Now I am just tired and wore out from the drive. Gonna pop some corn in the microwave, brew some cinnamon tea and watch a 1967 classic The Flim Flam Man with George C. Scott and Slim Pickens. I met Slim during my youth in New Mexico.

There is just something about ole Mordecai C. Jones that just tugs at me how he changes and becomes a better man. Or at least does right by his past. Anyone one else like to watch old movies? Depending on your age, "they don't make 'em like this anymore" may be a good or a bad thing. Just ask my kids!

Someone put it all on You Tube. So here is the first of 10 parts part for your viewing pleasure.

Anyone else have an old favorite we should check it out?

I am watching Ben Hur right now! One of my all time favorites, I think I have seen it at least 20 times.

Hard to beat the classics! I watched The Maltese Falcon last weekend for the first time in years and really enjoyed it again. Of course, I couldn't watch a Bogart movie without smoking something so I got out the pipe and had one of the best smokes I've ever had. I guess it probably had to do with focusing more on the movie and slowing my pace a bit.

One of my favorites.

Did you spot the pipes?
These are revealed when Sam Spade picks up the phone, and learns of Archer's murder.

From the Flim Flam man era, try Emperor of the North Pole

I need to watch Ben Hur and The Maltese Falcon for the first time soon.

Both are quite good, Spartacus and of course Casablanca would be another couple in those genres that everyone must see... if they haven't already of course. Just because they're house-hold names (as it were) doesn't mean they aren't worth watching.
Here's a departure from the "A" List that I make a point of watching when I'm in the mood for a damn good war story.... To my mind one of Marion Morrison's best performances... Back to Bhutan .
