    With all this talk about the Oscars,

    if there was just one other movie Duke should have won an Oscar for, what movie would it be?

    For me, it would be The Shootist.

    Note: You can only pick ONE movie.

    Chester says The Quiet Man

    The Mrs. says The Shootist, hands down

    I hope since we disagree on this, you will allow us one apiece .

    I agree he should have won for "The Shootist" That was one great movie, in which our man turned in a great performance.

    Re: With all this talk about the Oscars,

    I've often thought the Academy should award posthumous (or even posterior) recognition for outstanding performances. I can think of several other performances I thought deserved an Oscar but didn't get one. Including my namesake, for instance. If ever someone should have won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in a role, it was Walter Brennan as Stumpy in "Rio Bravo". He played that role magnificently. I also think Robert Duvall should have won one as Best Supporting Actor in "True Grit".

    And in my long-considered opinion, Paul Newman has been robbed of 6 or 7 Oscars he should have won as Best Actor.

    Re: With all this talk about the Oscars,

    I think The SHootist should have been a winner for Duke but, I also think he gave an excellent performance in movies like: Big Jake, Rio Lobo, Rio Grande, The Alamo, Hondo, The Sea Chase and Back to Bataan--just to name a few. Oh and, I almost forgot, I think he should have got one for his work in: Stagecoach.

    Re: With all this talk about the Oscars,

    Wow, I can't believe anyone picked The Searchers. However, I too am going to choose The Shootist as well. I normally hate watching any movie that Duke dies in but the Shootist was a good one.
