Selleck in Crossfire Trail and Monte Walsh is excellent. I also liked Quigley, but that's because I'm a gun nut and he always gets the guns right.

His filmography is a bit more than those. Add also: Harry Carey.

Lee Marvin had chunks of guys like Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis in his stool. A real-life Marine who earned a Purple Heart in WWII.

Monte Walsh is one of my favorite movies.

"Even" Yul?? LOL - most people thought he was quite sexy.
Best movie - King & I. Sorry, tough guys....
Charles Bronson I'll put up there as top tough guys, but not the others. ;-)

Exactly. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :-)
Trivia, What was James Caan's character's name in El Dorado?

I like Jimmy Stewart but not in the pure "tough guy" sense (altho I have no doubt he was no true weinie, either) and certainly not the "western" sense. Seemed rather silly, IYAM!

I think that Black Powder Cartridge Competition got a huge boost from Quigley. Everytime I watch it I have to lock my credit card away so I don't call Shilo Sharps.

And the Duke's movies are so numerous, we could argue for days which is the best!I agree.

I also really liked him in his two latter day cop movies. Brannigan and McQ!
