So I was watching a movie with my kids (10 and 13) the other day and was thinking about how different the media is that they consume than from the stuff I was raised on.
I would like to get them interested in older movies with positive messages. Which John Wayne and which WWII movies are your favorites and which would think would grab kids' attention?
I'm thinking "The Cowboys" would be good, but what else would everyone suggest?
I knew it had Shepherd in the title but couldn’t quite remember. I think you are right about Harry Carey too. I liked it but the Searchers is my favorite Wayne movie.
The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come is a wonderful historical novel by John Fox - very much an early childhood favorite - and a fair movie, starring Chill Wills and George Kennedy.
I have a low tolerance when it comes to John Wayne flicks, but:
Stage Coach
Sands of Iwo Jima
The Shootist
