Movies You Liked In Past 30 Years

[Terri9630]

Your comment reminded me of on that I read then saw the movie. By the way, no movie compares to the book if you can picture what you are reading. The movie was...

Where the Red Fern Grows

That was my favorite book growing up. The movie was not done bad but the book is way better.

They both made my eyes water, just a little.

I like a lot of the great western movies, ironically many were based on novels by "Louis L'Amour". I have most of the novels he wrote, over 100. For instance, "Hondo" w/John Wayne, "The Sacketts" w/ Sam Elliot/Tom Selleck. "The Shadow Riders" w/Elliot and Selleck, "Shaugnessy". "Crossfire Trial" w/Selleck, these are movies almost verbatim from L'Amour novels.

There are actually 17 novels written about the Sackett family. 4 more were movies, 2 starred Sam Elliot. Parts of 6 others were used in films.

More than a dozen other great westerns were based on novels written by Louis L'Amour.

The Sacketts was made into a movie? I'm going to have to find it.


Its on YouTube. There was a Tv series too.

I think one of the major cable TV stations made the Sacketts movie. Maybe TBS? Anyway, it was made for TV but it's a good movie nonetheless...
