Gotta disagree with one thing: Bruce Dern is the best bad guy ever.

You mean you actually hate Sherlock Holmes??

[Forty Rod]

Yep.  And you can add Vincent Price, too.  Despicable characters when they were cast in the part.

[Leo Tanner]

Sherlock woulda been shear luck without Watson.  Anyhoo, I don't think Basil ever did a western.

[Skeeter Lewis]

Basil Rathbone was brilliant as a villainous Sheriff Of Nottingham, but of Dodge City?...I don't think so.

I guess my FAV would prob. be the Lonsome Dove movies and most of the before and after movies in the group. I really enjoy watching them.

Young Guns I and II were my fav growing up. I guess I was the right age for those and watched them at least once a week.


I like so many now its hard to tell......O.L.J.W. is def. up there on the top of my list. I also really like Geronimo.

Ol' Bruce Dern has caught a lot of flak from his role in "The Cowboys".  You just can't shoot John Wayne and get away with it.

He made a fantastic bad guy.  In fact, though he's been in a lot of stuff (movies and TV), only once did I see him in a "good guy" role.  That was in the science fiction movie Silent Running.

... Especially in the back (as I remember it).

There was a song named 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' ...

Maybe there should have been a song about the only man who ever shot John Wayne (except for some nameless Japanese soldier in 'The Sands of Iwo Jima")

[Leo Tanner]

Then there would have to be a song about the bartender in The Shootist.

[WaddWatsonEllis]

True ....

And in the back as well ....

But thanks, I had forgotten about that ....

I know it'll be considered heresy but I couldn't stand the duke's movies, Clint Eastwood and Tom Selleck have my votes.


Pale Rider
Outlaw Josie Wales
The Unforgiven
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Tombstone [Kilmer]
Lonesome Dove
Quigley
Magnificent Seven
Once Upon a Time

Please let there be no lynchings!

Ferget Kristofferson's singin, have ever seem him try ta act?  Sorry if yer readin this Kris, but William Shatner is better than you.

I don't care much for Christopherson myself... He's a dyed in the wool liberal. When he sings, it sounds like the mating call of a love sick YAK...

However,  he writes some of the best songs ever. "Me and Bobby MaGee," "Sunday Mornin Coming Down," and "Why Me Lord," are some of the best songs written in the sixties and seventies.  But, he insists on singing, and it ruins everything.

Christopherson starred in a movie named "The Tracker." It is a really good Western, and Christopherson will hold his own with anybody, acting in a movie.

If he weren't such a damned liberal, I might enjoy watching some, but not all, of his entertainment activities, just as long as he doesn't sing.

Dang, I purely resemble that.

I should feel sorry for you, however, I can't work up much sorrow for a lib tard...

Nor can I feel any sorrow for a Refumblican.

Okay, now that we've called each other names, can we get back to the topic of this thread?
