I had forgotten about that funny line in Tom Horn. I'll have to add it to the list.
Someone mentioned "My Name is Nobody". Well then, you have to put "My Name is Trinity" and "My Name is STILL Trinity" in here too. That was some funny stuff. Paint Your Wagon was gay. Period. End of Story.
The trout takes the fly, the line tightens and it's like I was blind, but now I
see.

There were two women jogging in my neighborhood today as I was walking to work. They'd pass me, then they'd stop, and I'd pass them. One of the
women never stopped talking. The other one didn't say a word the whole time. This reminded me of another of my favorites, "The Cheyenne Social
Club." Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart ride from Texas to Wyoming, with Fonda talking nonstop.
JOHN: You know where we are now, Harley? HARLEY: Not exactly. JOHN; We're in the Wyoming territory. And you been talking all the way from Texas. HARLEY (injured): I've just been keeping you company. JOHN (restrained): I appreciate it, Harley, but if you say another word the rest of the day, I'm gonna kill you. |

There's a pretty cool trout fishing scene in "Jeremiah Johnson."

Depends on how you define Cowboy- I think the John Ford 3 movie set are great Horse Operas... 'She wore a yellow Ribbon" i sexcellent- Lonesome Dove
shows superior acting and rules of the Cowboy life- Grace Kelly is without doubt the greatest Cowboy's Girl in High Noon, Tommy Lee Jones and Tom Selleck
are good cowboys, but nobody stands ahead of Sam Elliot as the man born to be a Cowboy. The Shootest may be the only Wayne movie where acting was important.
The WORST Cowboy movies...now that is a LONG list. |

I'd like to see one with Selleck, Elliot, Tommy Lee Jones, and Robert Duvall in it. About the only four folks left that can pull off the genuine article.

I can remember as a kid on our first TV set (black and white of course) watching and wishing to be Lash Larue. I remember no names of the movies but I do
remember the Black outfit, crooked smile, and of course the Bull Whip. Great stuff then. Wish I could get all of those on DVD's or video and watch them
all again.

I was born in Deadwood, the town which more steadfastly than all others has practiced only the oldest, most widely respected professions: gold
mining, gambling, and prostitution. And of course making movies about them. I might have mentioned elsewhere my Great Uncle BlackHillsPaul, the famous
missionary whose scalp is on display in the tourist teepee at Mt. Rushmore, spent several years trying to rescue the professionals--not all of it pulpit time
either.
Inspector were to use his great talent in a Western: "A Cactus Grows in New Jersey."

Be careful, Bob. I'll sic Nicky Punto on you. Wait until the Twins have their new ball park ready, you'll see curves and sliders bouncing off the
wall rather than the baggie. Especially when Boof Bonser pitches. Boof's a genuine cowboy. His cheeks are tanned, his legs are bowed, and only

I'm just trying out my "reverse whammy," Bill. If I praise them, within 24 hours they'll place 17 guys on the disabled list and be calling
people up from the AA Portland (Maine) Sea Dogs. To try to get back on topic, we could use some "cowboy up" around here.

Got to go with High Noon and Shane. I saw 3:10 to Yuma yesterday and thought it was great. Russell Crowe was superb. BTW someone told me that this was a
remake. Anyone remember the first one and who was in it?

Glenn Ford was Ben wade and Van Heflin was Dan Evans in the original 3:10 to Yuma made in 1957.
I met Lash LaRue when I was a kid. Of course I didn't know who he was at the time, but my Mom and Dad did. I also met Roy Rogers and Dale Evens. I did know who they were, but wasn't impressed enough. Now if I could have met The Duke, that would have been cool.

I'm still making a pitch for the "Culpepper Cattle Company" as one of the best westerns, although little kown. Here's a link to some of the
reviews from Amazon:

Broken Arrow. The ambush scene is great. Ever since I was a kid, I always rooted for the Indians.
Cheyenne Autumn is tougher to take. The Cheyenne lost. McCabe & Mrs. Miller was recommended to me as a youth, but I still haven't checked it out. Undoubtedly my loss...are there any bad movies with Julie Christie in them? All of the other good ones have been mentioned, I think. Except Treasure of the Sierra Madre, which I've also never seen, inexplicably. What's that last line in 3 Godfathers? John Wayne: "I just had ta keep a promise to a dyin' woman..." Oh yeah- Judge Roy Bean! Almost forgot that one...one of Paul Newman's best performances.

All good movies, but for my money, the best Roy Bean was Walter Brennan in "The Westerner," with Gary Cooper. Walter Brennan had a great dark side to
his acting, and this is one of his best, most nuanced roles, and it won him his third Oscar.
