Western's combined
"The Searcher's" and High Noon" are both popular western movies. They star some major actors including John Wayne, Gary Cooper, and Grayce Kelly. These movies portray more action in them and more killing. They do have some differences though.
The Searcher's is about some Indians and finding a little girl. The story and plot was completely different from "High Noon". It was a different type of western. High noon was about a man who comes back to save the town from some outlaws.There are not indians in this movie. There is a theme of love in both of the movies as well. John Wayne shows love for Debbie and Gary Cooper shows love for his town and his people.

Pride of the Yankees
"Pride of the Yankees" was directed by Sam Wood. It was made in 1942. "Pride of the Yankees" stared Gary Cooper, Terasa Wright, and Babe Ruth. The movie was a biography of Lou Gehrig's life. It starts from when he was a little boy and goes to when he gave his last speech at Yankee Stadium.
I really liked this movie. I did not know much about Lou Gehrig until I watched this movie. I did not know that he held the record for most consecutive games played in major league baseball. He is an outstanding baseball player. To me, he is probably the best baseball player to ever play. This movie was very inspirational. It showed that you should never give up in anything that you do.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" is movie that was made in 1936 by Frank Capra. This movie stars James Stewart, Claude Rains, Jean Arthur, and Edward Arnold. This movie was considered very inspirational.
This movie was pretty good I guess. I did like the plot and how Mr. Smith had no politcal background and in the end, gets his bill passed. I believe that without Saunders help, he wouldn't have been able to pass the bill. Even though it was black and white, I still liked this movie a lot.

Lord of The Rings
Lord of the Rings "The Two Towers and "The Return of the King" are written by Peter Jackson. These movies star Elijah Wood, Andy Serkis, Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom, and Sean Austin. These finish the triology of the Lord of the Ring.
I really liked these movies. They were really long, but were very entertaining. I liked the ending and how frodo had to leave and do even bigger things. I also liked how Sam ended up marrrying the girl he always wanted to.
Same is the most heroic character of all. Sam goes with Frodo everywhere. Many times Frodo is in trouble and needs help, and Sam saves him. Sam shows bravery as he fights the orcs to save Frodo at the tower. Sam never gave up and stuck by Frodo's side, just like gandolf told him to.
