Slip that almost nosed out OJW and then when I realized I could recite nearly a 1/4 of the film without stopping to think about it I realized who the winner was.

But we ALL have our favorites now don't we.

High Plains Drifter, ooh.

I've only seen one western before, the one with Clint and that very pretty, shy, withdrawn, introverted, girl--who I had a crush on for the whole lenght of the movie. The preacher had a crush on her too--Clint aint no fool, taciturn yes, maybe even laconic--but no fool.
Pale Rider I think was the title.

Finally someone mentioned The Wild Bunch

Yes, Pale Rider is the name goosefish.

High Plains Drifter, awesome movie - many great classic scenes = the bathtub twice, where Clint kills those guys and when the girl is mad because he didn't come back for more
Then he makes the little guy Sheriff, he shoots that guy's ear off, paints the whole town red, Clint made some great westerns.

She Wore A Yellow Ribbon

The Shootist

Shane

The Unforgiven

And Last of the Mohicans, although it's not so much a Western in the true sense, I guess. McCabe and Mrs. Miller, too, which would probably also fall in the non-western Western category.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

In no order Winchester 73, The Seachers, High Noon, Blazing Saddles, Chisum, The Unforgiven. The Rounders last one really isn't a western but any movie with Jimmy Steawert and Glen Ford is a good one in my Book. ThomT

"Blondiiiiiiiiiieieeeeeeeeee! You know what you aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrre"

Eli Wallach was the star of that movie. Tuco is a classic

"what was that you said? it's only 20 miles back to town, but I feel a man of your character can make it " "It's very hard when you don't have anything to drink "

" I have a different method, I shoot the legs off the stool"

"we want to enlist general" "you better learn to distinguish rank soldier"

Why don't we just blow up the bridge, then these fools will go someplace else to fight"

Arch Stanton

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
