Flight of the Phoenix

My favorite James Stewart movie? A tie between "Rear Window" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much." Both are Hitchcock classics with plenty of suspense and drama.

Love the way The Shootist started, showing old John Wayne clips. Such a fitting end to a great career. Including the old guys, was just icing on the cake.

I want to adjust my vote every time another posts. They are all great (not good-great). How did I forget Rear Window with (heavy sigh...) Grace Kelly.

Now that I think of it did that man ever make a bad movie?

What a stand up guy--flew B24's in 20 combat missions in WWII. He retired as a Brigadier General. "It's a Wonderful Life" was his first movie after he served.

Although Mr. Stuart won his only Oscar for The Philadelphia Story" he has said It's a Wonderful Life was his personal favorite.

Every now and then you stand back and admire some of the amazing and truly talented people in this country.

He was an admirable person on so many levels.

My favorite James Stewart is any of Rich Littles portrayals of him on the Dean Martin Roasts!

One of my favorites is "Bell, Book and Candle"
It's a romantic comedy with a great cast.

I really enjoy watching the Glenn Miller movie. Love the story, the music, and the actors.

Can’t beat It’a a wonderful life..but close second is Rear Window

Our stumbling mumbling best actor didn’t make bad movie that I know of.
All of the mentioned movies are great but let’s not forget Rear Window and Vertigo.
