Well, I agree about Smith, but not about the old guys. I've never been one for movies that came from my parents generation. Bogart, Garfield, Grant, Cagny etc all leave me cold. I like John Wayne in the few non-westerns he did. As for the westerns, I just never cared for them.
C'mon. You can't discount Bogey and all his movies. Even the spaghetti Westerns in the Seventies had more going on than the current crop of stuff.
