Prelude: The Best of Charlotte Church $4.88 Need more evidence of the record industry’s obsession with youth? Consider that budding Welsh diva Charlotte Church was a ripe, old 16 when this, her first greatest-hits anthology was released. Spanning her first four releases, as well as some outside collaborations and unreleased material, this 18-track collection underscores the soprano’s seemingly boundless potential–as well as some potential … |

Rio Grande: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack $16.98 The Sons of the Pioneers appeared in dozens of movies, and provided music for still more films than that, but those were all low-budget B-westerns. John Ford’s Rio Grande was the only big-budget film in which they not only provided music but appeared on camera. Victor Young wrote the main body of the score, an alternately sentimental and rousing body of music, built around richly tonal themes and … |

The Quiet Man [VHS] $5.93 Blarney and bliss, mixed in equal proportions. John Wayne plays an American boxer who returns to the Emerald Isle, his native land. What he finds there is a fiery prospective spouse (Maureen O’Hara) and a country greener than any Ireland seen before or since–it’s no surprise The Quiet Man won an Oscar for cinematography. It also won an Oscar for John Ford’s direction, his fourth such award. The f… |

Donovan’s Reef [VHS] $7.49 John Wayne’s last film with mentor and long-time collaborator John Ford (The Searchers) is a 1963 comedy about a group of war veterans settled on a South Pacific island. When the daughter of one of them (Jack Warden) comes for a visit, the freewheeling status quo between the boys is disrupted.

TCM Greatest Classic Films Collection: John Wayne Westerns (The Cowboys / Fort Apache / Rio Bravo / The Searchers) $10.91 The Cowboys Almost in spite of itself, The Cowboys has taken its place among John Wayne’s most beloved films. It wasn’t always that way: When it was released in January of 1972, the film was widely criticized for appearing to promote the notion that boys become men through violence. From a politically correct perspective, this apparent message is arguably deplorable (and some interpreted the film’… |
