Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones each had his role of a lifetime in Lonesome Dove.
This was explained in "Get Shorty"
Absolutely High Plains Drifter
1) and 2) are right and 7) should be 3). Other than that, there are plenty of better options than the other seven.
I do too.
River of No Return...
Marilyn.
Yes, both are excellent. As are Sam Elliott and Tom Selleck.
We are kindred spirits! My wife (Danish) and I stumbled on that a couple of weeks ago. What a magnificent rendition by world class pros, They have several other of the spaghetti western songs that are magnifique.
I hope you find the channel. I’m sure you will like it.
Burl Ives was terrific in the Big Country.
“You trying to tie a knot in my tail?”
I started reading Zane Grey when I was about 10.
He never could paint pictures for me like Louis L’Amour could though.
Say what you will about Blondie, but he did have a code and he adhered to it.
Speaking of Selleck, although not in our west Quigley Down Under kinda got the spirit.
I will need to watch that movie again. I enjoyed his performance in it. But I am much more familiar with his role in Josie Wales-he was great!!
Josey: Just when I get to likening someone they are not around.
Lone Watie: I notice that when you don’t like someone they are not around either.
Close enough.
I also thought John Vernon as Fletcher was superb!!
Actually, it’s Emperor of the North Pole.
But...but what about “Evil Roy Slade”?
Oh yeah, that other henchman was a hoot. I cant forget his face at the restaurant when Stewart came in an apron and when he told everyone at the bar to hang him too. He stole the show.
But the guy who played the newspaper editor should have at least had an oscar nomination. It was perfectly done being the newspaper editor and the town drunk, rolled into one.
I agree entirely. I personally boycott those films for that reason (along with The Godfather series, which, to me, glorifies murderous criminality).
A personal choice: I do not begrudge others enjoying Clint Eastwood in them.
I also avoid Once Upon a Time in the West. The western genre was generally subverted by Commiewood by the end of the 60s. Silverado, for me, was a surprising pleasure, given that personal honor is a key theme.
I’d add “The Big Country” and, though it’s not set in the west, “Quigley Down Under.”
And we are bringing hell with us...democrats.
