Every time I watch a feature film in 2026. No. 103, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” (1962) this evening. This month’s Mystery Film at Phoenix #Leicester. www.imdb.com/title/tt0056217/ #MyMovies2026 #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#TheManWhoShotLibertyValance, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, and Unforgiven would make a great revisionist western triple bill. If a fourth could be added I’d include Open Range. #TCMParty
"When the legend becomes fact, print the legend"
Whatever John Wayne says doesn’t matter Jimmy Stewart will still make a great fucking Senator.
(Back in those days, the state assemblies voted for senators, not the entire population of the state).

“Nothing's too good for the man who shot Liberty Valance.”
Title drop…drink! #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance #TCMParty
This is such an amazing ending.

This is the west, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend. #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance #TCMParty
Print the legend.
Says it all.

That scene is so well done. And is the crux of what the story is really about. #TCMParty #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance
I got a feel that John Ford was making fun of the western states with these fucking western fucking yokels.
#TheManWhoShotLibertyValance #TCMParty
Oh John Carradine! That Voice! Half those men are ready to have your baby right now.
#TheManWhoShotLibertyValance #TCMParty
Any movie with John Carradine is a good movie.
Fact!
#TheManWhoShotLibertyValance #TCMParty
I’d vote for Jimmy Stewart for president tomorrow if I could

That blank rumpled paper says a lot. #TCMParty #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance
The first time I saw #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance, I thought it would end with Valance's death. But there's an entire third act to come– we haven't even seen John Carradine yet! #TCMParty
This part in #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance where Liberty Valance gets shot and the whole town celebrates? Worth remembering. #TCMParty
Even without focusing on Tom Donovan, John Wayne's character has a lot to say about American male mythology. #TCMParty #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance
In film class we learned.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is a profound, self-critical Western exploring the transition from the lawless Old West to a civilized society governed by law.
We need this today.
John Ford you magnificent bastard!
#TheManWhoShotLibertyValance #TCMParty
♫"...there'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"♫
#TheManWhoShotLibertyValance #TCMParty
Good riddance! #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance #TCMParty
And we'd better be prepared to do whatever it takes to get rid of them.

It was Lee Marvin's idea for Liberty to fall to his knees in his death scene, as if in prayer. Marvin ran it by John Ford, who approved and that's how they shot it. #TCMParty #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance
America hates fucking bullies like Valance.

Hey he's gonna get you too....Another One Bites the Dust!!
#TheManWhoShotLibertyValance #TCMParty
Self defense? #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance #TCMParty
Ooooh!!!!! #TCMParty #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance
Excuse me. But Ward Bond is certainly conspicuous by his absence (Probably busy shooting Wagon Train). #TCMParty #TheManWhoShotLibertyValance
Aces and Eights... no one deserves it more than you, Liberty.
