Here are the ten clips included in our montage salute to 1,000 in honor of our 1,000th edition of Ozarks at Large since it became a daily show in August, 2010. Dwight Yoakam with the right amount of twang in A Thousand Miles From Nowhere. A small bit from a 1972 commercial for Pfeiffer's Thousand Island salad dressing. Bobby Vee sings that The Night Has a Thousand Eyes. The trailer for James Cagney's portrayal of Lon Chaney...the Man of a Thousand Faces. A mellow classic...If by Bread. Genevieve Bujold as the doomed Anne Boleyn in Anne of A Thousand Days. The song A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. The Proclaimers sing 500 Miles...but the lyric continues, "...500 more..." adding up to 1000, right? Jason Robards yells at his neighbors in the Academy Award-winning film A Thousand Clowns. Wilson Pickett's Land of a Thousand Dances. Apologies to: Arabian Knights (just one too many), anything with millennium in the title, the artist Sala and the 43rd-most populated city in California. Maybe next time.
