What's your favorite Cowboy movie?

Sgt Scattergun

I watched tonight, for probably the 50th time, The Magnificent Seven. As a SASS shooter this outstanding Cowboy movie is one of my all time favorites. For years I wasn't sure what Steve McQueen's charactor said when Chris (Yul Brynner) asked him his name after the funeral carriage ride/shootout. It wasn't until I saw the alias "Make it Vin" that it sunk in.

For me, "The Shootist" has always been my favorite.<br />

Big Grit

Not sure if I have a favorite, but LITTLE BIG MAN has to be right up there. Big Grit

There's so many that are really great movies but, one that sticks in my mind from way, way back is "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"; I always felt that that was close to the way things were.

Ya can't go wrong listing The Magnificent Seven as one of the all time greats. I have to say, for me, the other one that ranks right up there is Once Upon A Time In The West with Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, etc. Like PtBW, I like all the westerns. Most recent memorable ones include Silverado and Tombstone. Has anyone seen the one recently done in which Evil Roy, Holy Terror and other SASS folks were featured? What did ya think?<br />
<br />
Another outstanding movie that was depicted during the cowboy era but did not occur out west is Gettysburg. There's my two bits worth . . .

I guess I'll have to throw in Silverado. I know my little buddy Silverado Cobb like that one as well.<br />

The Outlaw. Great actors and most naturally a fine set of boobs.

Hmmm, I don't recall Laurel & Hardy being in that particular movie. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/innocent.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

<br />
Are we allowed to even say "boobs" here? <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' /> <br />

I thought we had to refer to them as "golden Bozo's or some such. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/innocent.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Yee-haw boys, y'all struck a cord with this posting!<br />
The Magnificient Seven is always at the top of my list. I even like the three sequels which proves that I'm a western film fan junkie.<br />
<br />
In fact I agree with each and every one of the films you gunslingers mentioned, and I was particularly pleased to see two Errol Flynn films mentioned. I feel so strongly that Dodge City is an under-appreciated classic that I included about ten pages on that film in my biography of Flynn.<br />
<br />
Years ago I conducted an interview with director Burt Kennedy who directed The War Wagon, Support Your Local Sheriff, etc, and he mentioned that he was working with some people who organize the Golden Boot Awards out Hollywood way and they wanted to compile a list of the 100 greatest westerns of all time but had trouble after about sixty. I remember telling him the problem is that people pay way too much attention to what the critics think instead of what they are feeling in their gut. Yes, McCabe and Mrs. Miller is a good western, but if I was going to sit down to be entertained I'd watch The War Wagon, not McCabe and Mrs Miller. <br />
<br />
You have to enjoy those films for what the are, and that's why Roy Rogers and Gene Aurty have a timeless appeal. <br />
<br />
Also, any such list needs to intentionally limit John Wayne westerns to about ten simply because he was so good for so long that he overwhelms all other contenders. Duke is the number one most influential actor in westerns.<br />
<br />
And here's a tip of the stetson to the late great Audie Murphy!<br />
<br />
Thanks for bringing this topic up. I truly did enjoy your postings. Sweetchaps and I hope to see you all down the trail at Kocheese Canyon. I was out working that Uberti today. Maybe I'll get one clean stage. Happy fourth of July to you all.<br />

Dag nab it,why do we have to end this right away,it was a lot of fun talking about the old westerns.Your right on ,with Audy Murphy,how could i have forgot him,it was sad we had to lose him when he was so young.And how about Tommy Lee Jones as Capt. cal.And i wish robert Duval would make more westerns before he gets any older,in other words,while he's still here.And theres james stewert,Burt Lancaster,Gabby Hayes, and Walter Brennan.How many of you remember seeing Western Union?, remember the Gun fight at the barber shop,Vance guns it out with his brother Jack,Vance falls back all shot up,we see his bandaged hand grab the window frame,then slide downward,his last breath.And Robert Young gets Jack,Jack grabs his belly ,turns and falls across the steps and into the gutter,dead. by the way jack was played by Barton Mc Lane,one of my favorite bad guys. Well ,thats it ,tune in next week for more of "at the westerns", see ya .

Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid, even Zorro. Those old TV shows remind me of the good old days. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup:' /> <br />
