Rarely seen John Wayne flicks

Saw the commercials today on AMC for one of the rarely seen John Wayne flicks, "Island in the Sky".  Real remeniscent of last years "Flight of the Phoenix" (itself a remake of a 1965 version with Jimmy Stewart).

I'm currently in the middle of watching it, and it's interesting to see Wayne in a character that he rarely plays; a cowboy or soldier.  It's nice to see that John's acting was bigger than the stereotype we've all placed him in.  'Course, having planes in the movie is a definate plus for me!!!

Nice to see that James Joyner at Outside The Beltway has some of the same thoughts at "Rare John Wayne Films on AMC This Weekend".
