There are probably a few movies of course that is as good as better than the original (like True Grit?)

I don't agree with the author's conclusion on True Grit. IMHO, the original wiht John Wayne was much better than the remake a few years ago. I liked Glen Campbell in the original better, too. I can't explain it, I just do.

You’re totally correct and no explanation needed.

I totally agree...and I love Jeff Bridges.

Big John rocked. Although Campbell was very stilted in his performance...if you read the book, his performance stayed very much in line with the tone.

I will sit thru the whole dang movie just to see John Wayne put the reins in his teeth and charge. As an aside...I tried this once (sans blazing guns). Kids...DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. I darn near jerked every tooth out of my head.
