On January 17 1931 James Earl Jones was born... so the theme for today are movies with James Earl Jones. I hope the following picks will prove entertaining!
1 Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) Director Stanley Kubrick
Jones' first small role in film-and what a great movie to start one's career with...
2 The Great White Hope (1970) Director Martin Ritt
James Earl Jones was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance as a struggling boxer trying to buck the establishment...
3 Star Wars (1977) Director George Lucas
Hit movie which made Jones' famous for his ominously baritone voice for the iconic evil villain Darth Vader...
4 Field of Dreams (1989) Director Phil Alden Robinson
Sentimental film about Iowa farmer who creates field for Baseball greats of the past...
5 The Hunt for Red October (1990) Director John McTiernan
Fun thriller about USSR submarine captain who inadvertently creates possible war with United States...
As I have seen all but one film (The Great White Hope) I look forward to your feedback-enjoy!
