Jeffrey Hunter (Martin Pawley), John Wayne (Ethan Edwards)
Last night I sat down with Krystalle and Jareth to watch the 1956 John Wayne movie The Searchers.
The reason we picked this particular movie is because it appears on the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 Greatest Movies of All Time. While we were waiting in line to get on the Great Movie Ride at Hollywood Studios last week we decided that there were a lot of “classic” films that we haven’t seen and that one of our goals in 2011 should be to rectify that situation. The Searchers was the first movie we picked off of the list, largely due to the fact that it is only going to be available through Netflix for a few more days.
