Mr. Jones



I would just like to pause for a moment and say how awesome Dean Jones is.

Dean Jones. Disney classic. Star of some of the best family films of the 1960s-70s. And he's totally handsome. Personally, a guy like him is much more appealing to me than some 19-year-old with hard abs and hair gel. I wouldn't even know what Dean Jone's abs look like, since he never had to take his shirt off to sell a movie.

Dean Jones is handsome, wholesome, charming, and a strong Christian. The latter part of his career has been spent touring his one-man show "St. John in Exile." He has done dozens of Biblical re-enactment projects, videos, TV series, etc., and done them well.

As a kid we rented "The Love Bug" series over and over again, and I've recently been able to introduce my younger siblings to those movies, "That Darn Cat," and soon "The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit." Dean Jones usually plays a smooth but slightly flustered character, surrounded by a situation he can't quite control on his own. He starts off as a bit of a hotshot in "The Love Bug," but of course soon proves his heart of gold.

The Love Bug (1968)

That Darn Cat (1965)


So anyway. Dean Jones. Great guy. Fun family films. Go find one today. The end.
