Here's a list we can all argue over ...

... well, to some extent. Some are indisputable: The Worst Movies of All Time . Interesting that John Wayne's The Conqueror, with the Duke playing Genghiz Khan, didn't make the cut.

    I've never seen that John Wayne movie but I guess it may have killed a lot of the crew (radioactive fallout).

    Thanks for the link.

  2. That's what they say. Shot it in Utah near where they did the tests.

  3. Frank, and then they hauled a bunch of the rocks and topsoil back to California to provide for continuity in scenes shot inside a sound studio ...

    One of the great losses from that cast/crew was Pedro Armenderiz, Sr. ... an established star from the golden era of Mexican cinema when he caught the eye of Hollywood's John Ford ... his last foray in front of the camera was as the chief of the Turkish Secret Service in "From Russia with Love" ... just a few months after that, he was diagnosed with inoperable, terminal cancer, and took his own life ...

    His son still appears in films from time to time ... I last saw PA, Jr. as the territoral governor - an older, but robust, bearded gentleman - in "The Legend of Zorro" with Antonio Banderas ...

    There are many many others from that cast and crew ...
