The best part about February and March? "The Quiet Man" plays on all the movie channels. It was just on TCM as part of the 31 Days of Oscar since it won John Ford the best director award
If Jen is flipping around and sees "16 Candles" or "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" (two lousy 80s movies). If I'm flipping around and see John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, I stop.
And even though I've seen it hundreds of times and know the lines by heart, that Michaleen Flynn (the little guy who plays matchmaker in the village and is the bookie during the climatic fight) always makes me laugh. I could watch this movie once a week.

I always stop, too. But I got it on DVD for Christmas last year. Rio Bravo is another John Wayne channel-stopper. I love Dean Martin in that one.
Rio Bravo and Sons of Katie Elder are great Dean Martin-John Wayne movies. Both classics.
When I was in Ireland I visited the town where the Quiet Man was shot...Pretty little place...But...and i know you will find this hard to believe...I have never seen Quiet Man...
