To this day I remember my folks wouldn’t take me along when they went to see “The Hellfighters.” Because it had “hell” in the title.
Then they tormented me afterward by repeatedly telling me “Oh, that movie was OK, we could’ve taken you.”
Never seen it, to this day. Gotta put that on my list now.
Probably one of the top five John Wayne movies of all time.
My dad took me to see Jaws when I was 10. I spent most of the movie in the ladies room with several older black women who had gathered there, crying and holding hands and praying with them. (MAN!!!! Can they PRAY!!!)
We were all so scared and knew that only God could save those poor swimmers.
