Re: The best and worst western movies:
Thanks Dan, I look forward to finding it. Maybe when we get up to our summer cabin. There is still an actual video rental store up there with a few isles of old movies. Pretty rare these days..there is where we do most of our movie watching.

Re: The best and worst western movies:
That is unique, not sure when I saw a video rental outlet last. Anyway, here's hoping if you do you find it worth your trouble.markiver54 wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2019 4:30 pmThanks dddrees, I look forward to finding it. Maybe when we get up to our summer cabin.

The original is on TCM this afternoon - but I am only catching about the last half hour!Didn't know there was a newer 3:10 to Yuma. Enjoyed the first one though.

Re: The best and worst western movies:
He was often criticized for his lack of acting skills and formal training.Actually, was never a big JW fan because of his lack of acting skills.
His demeanor, physical appearance, walk and voice is what made him who he was.

Re: The best and worst western movies:
I CAN certainly understand that Ed. He WAS special in his way. As I said, don't dis-like him at all.

Re: The best and worst western movies:
And sadly his WORST movie of all is the one than killed him (The Conqueror)

Re: The best and worst western movies:
I never saw that one. He did however die in the Shootist, Rooster Cogburn, and the one where he employed kids to assist him driving cattle. Forget the name of that movie but Bruce Dean killed him.

I was referring to his actual death from cancer from the movie 'The Conqueror' when he contracted it from the irradiated filming location.He did however die in the Shootist, Rooster Cogburn, and the one where he employed kids to assist him driving cattle.
He actually didn't 'die' in Rooster Cogburn however and the name of the last one was 'The Cowboys'
Bruce Dern actually received death threats because of his role in the movie.

Re: The best and worst western movies:
Yeah, that’s it the Cowboys. Had no idea about any of that, thanks. Wow, he actually received death threats for acting in a movie. I know he was John Wayne, but still it’s only a movie.Mistered wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2019 7:46 pmI was referring to his actual death from cancer from the movie 'The Conqueror' when he contracted it from the irradiated filming location.He did however die in the Shootist, Rooster Cogburn, and the one where he employed kids to assist him driving cattle.
