"Hey Miss Laurie, how about a poke?" :hihi: Gus said poke.:hihi::hihi: Tommy Lee's best work, and near the top for Robert, too. I love that mini series.
Lonesome Dove makes my top-3, but the best Western of all time is still The Searchers. Cowboys, Indians, cavalry, Monument Valley, John Wayne, John Ford . . . they don't come any better.
Lonesome Dove is my all time favorite movie, TV show and book. I watched Tombstone last night. It's such a good movie that I managed to survive the commercials ( I'd switch over the A&E during Tombstone comercials).
My dad made me watch this movie so many times as a child, that I thought I'd DIE from boredom, then when I became a teenager, I suddenly got it and love the movie, now. But my favorite John Wayne Western is "Big Jake." That is a really clever movie.
Any film with Richard Boone as the bad guy is bound to be good. The Shootist was good for that reason and Hombre was even better.
The exchange between Richard Boone and John Wayne @ the end: "Who ARE you?" "Jacob McCandles." "I...I...thought you was DEAD..." "Not hardly."
Stacy is permanently in my cool book for being able to quote any John Wayne movie, much less that one! I share her top western, although Lonesome Dove is near the top for me as well. Hard to believe a western made so long after they were fashionable, could be so good. That and Unforgiven.
