Just saw one of my favorite movies, Stagecoach, for the first time in 10 years. When you don't see something for a really long time it's almost as much fun as seeing it new. That movie has so many fantastic scenes and characters and bits of dialogue. Dallas being run out of town in her striped stockings, The Ringo Kid watching her silhouette sway down a hallway, Doc Boone and the whiskey drummer's sample case, the stagecoach driver's whining about frijoles, etc, etc: in fact, the whole dang film, from the first shot to the last. I wanted to marry John Wayne when I was 11, and seeing this gem again makes me know why!
