I remember projecting "The Shootist." It's a classy movie. An actor like John Wayne couldn't have asked for a better swan-song. I think he should have won the Oscar for this one, rather than for "True Grit."

This is from the days where a movie could have a downbeat ending and still be satisfying.

I really liked Jimmy Stewart in it as well.

The others on the list....I know we probably showed most or all of them but I don't remember any of them.
