After reading the Post "Should or Should Not" I thought I would list all the Should nots. All of us here on these boards love the Duke and his work, his ethics, and what he stood for. We all agree and disagree on these boards.
so for what its worth here is my opinion of the compiled should nots.

1. The Conqueror --Not, I bought the movie to add it to my collection, watched it once.
2. Jet Pilot --Not, The second Howard Hughes movie..the movie was held over far to long before release and most of the jets were being phased out at time of release. The plot was very weak.
3. Big Jim McLain --Not, During the heyday of McCarthyisum, alot of good writers and actors were black listed
around this time frame.
4. The Barbarian and the Geisha --Not, just didn't care for it.
5. Green Berets --great movie
6. Alamo-- Loved it
7. UnDefeated-- Great movie
8. Flame of the Barbarry Coast-- Never seen
9. Tycoon--so so
10. Donavans Reef-- the Duke and Marvin, great
11. Lady for a Night-Never seen
12. Brannigan-opening scene Door kicked in and JW saying "Knock Knock" who can't love that?
13. Circus World- alittle out of place, But the Duke made it work with his western work..I liked it.
14. Hell Fighters- Great Movie
15. Legend of the Lost--The Duke and Sophia Loren..I'm in heaven
16. The Train Robbers-- The Duke, Ben Johnson shooting bad guys..please..Great Movie
17. Blood Alley-- JW talking with "Baby"..Good one
18. In Harms Way-- I enjoyed it, as a matter of fact watched it on TV just before work tonight.

So their ya go my two cents, as you see we all differ on our movies.
