Movie Reviews of The John Wayne Century Collection (Big Jake, Donovan's Reef, El Dorado, Hatari!, Hondo, In Harm's Way, Island in the Sky, McLintock!, Rio Lobo, The High and the Mighty, etc.)
Movie Review: TRUE AMERICAN
Summary: 5 Stars
JOHN WAYNE is what all us AMERICANS THINK and would like to be, these films, despick the lives and way we all wish we were. I WATCH THESE MOVIES WHEN I get discouraged with the way some of our leaders conduct themselves. RESTORES my faith in the COWBOY-AMERICAN WAY. Movie Review: Great fathers day gift
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this for my dad for Father's day. It was the perfect gift. He absolutely loved it. Not to mention Amazon's price was great! Movie Review: John Waynes Various Movies On DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful & Safe Entertainment For Whole Family
We do not have regular TV as a result of what is being shown today, especially the
commercials we find very to be very offensive and can be worst then the programming in some cases.
We are purchasing more & more of the various DVDs from the time when shows were morally much safer all around! Healthier experience for children of all ages!
Movie Review: Better extra features than I'd expect from Paramount
Summary: 5 Stars
Paramount is generally clueless about handling the classic movies they have in their possession. Just because the movies star John Wayne, I wouldn't expect Paramount to treat them any differently, but this time they actually did a good job. Paramount actually included commentary on five of the films, although why there isn't anything extra on the wonderful "Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" and there's only a featurette on the epic "In Harm's Way", I don't know. The product description does a pretty good job of describing each film, so I'll just list the extra features for each movie:
Big Jake - NO EXTRAS
Donovan's Reef - NO EXTRAS
Hatari! - NO EXTRAS
In Harm's Way - Three theatrical trailers; "The Making of in Harm's Way"

El Dorado - NO EXTRAS
Even though we're not getting "The Quiet Man" in this extensive set, "McLintock" almost makes up for it as the dynamic between John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara is just as combative with that same underlying chemistry. Think of it as The Quiet Man of the frontier west. Highly recommended.
Movie Review: Great gift...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the John Wayne box set for my father, but I like the movies listed here. John Wayne was a hero in his time, and as far as I'm concerned no one else can be the actor or even come close to the work he accomplished. I greatly recommend this box set for anyone who's a big fan of the classics.
