And the wind

Confession time: I have never seen “The Alamo” assuming you are speaking of the John Wayne version.
Charlie Wilson? Yep. He was my congressman when I had my Tropical Fish store in Nacogdoches in the Eighties. We all loved Charlie. Tom Hanks did him well. I love that movie.
Paris? I hate Paris (Texas) Love Paris France
No Country for Old Men? Yes. Great movie. Scared the shit outta me.
