nhtagmemberWatching my 1st Jimmy Stewart Movie
I’ve actually never watched a movie with him before but found GRIT TV and they were playing Cheyenne Social Club with Henry Fonda
Quite entertaining

ZSMICHAELReally??? He has quite the range from Hitchcock thrillers to George Bailey role.

kkinaHe was also, in case you didn't know, a colonel in the Army Air Corps during WWII, and later a general in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.

B-24 Pilot and flew missions over Europe. He could have taken an easier route as a celebrity, but he jumped in the middle of the action.
Also, he was a Princeton grad with a degree in Architecture. Definitely a smart man.

Yes! Especially if you've only seen the remake.

cheesegritsThe Shop Around the Corner is one of my favorite movies. Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan were always good together.
The movie You've Got Mail is based off of (and not nearly as good as) The Shop Around the Corner.
The Philadelphia Story with Stewart, Katharine Hepburn, and Cary Grant is another favorite of mine.
I also liked Stewart in The Glenn Miller Story because it combined two of my favorite fellas: Jimmy Stewart and Glenn Miller!

erj_pilotWatch "Strategic Air Command" next. You're welcome......
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 GRIT has lot of great western's. This week it is the Magnificent Seven.

PalJust watched Anatomy of a Murder last night. It is on On Demand for a few more days. Filmed in Marquette MI. about an actual murder in the area. I hope Yooper Sig see this. many of the scenes look familiar. Good movie, fast paced.
