John Wayne brings little Debbie home after a five year pursuit . . . the final scene of a John Ford western, The Searchers, one of the great cowboy movies of all time and a defining career scene for Wayne when he's silhouetted in the door and turns away:
Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven . . . .
Joan Blondell and Etta Montig's haunting lament of "Remember My Forgotten Man" in "Gold Diggers of 1933," talking about the veterans of World War I who came back only to find the Depression, soup lines and chronic unemployment waiting for them. A spicy film for this political statement and sexual situations, made before film standards were applied in Hollywood later in the decade. Probably relevant today as well.
