From the movie War Wagon- Kirk Douglas-mine hit the ground first-John Wayne-mine was taller.

h67st Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Wah wah wah! I've got The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly on my Hulu watchlist right now. I wonder how many times I've watched this over the years...Speaking of westerns, when they remade True Grit with Jeff Bridges, a lot of people said it was better than the original and The Duke was overweight and out of shape for the original. I watched both, and those folks are full of hooey! The remake was good, but John Wayne was stellar in the first one. My favorite Wayne movie was Big Jake...what about you guys? 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50567-western-movie-themes/#findComment-375978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 "The Cowboys" did I get the title right? Where he goes on a cattle drive with a bunch of little kids, and they become men! Truck Shop I was referring to "The outlaw Josie Wales" when Chief Dan George asks Josie how he knew which one. To shoot first "the one on the left had scared eyes,the one in the middle had crazy eyes" Dan asks Josie "What about the other one?" "Well I had you" he replies!😁 Also liked "The man who shot Liberty Valance" with Jimmy Stewart and Lee Marvin! Good stuff!

Truck Shop Thanks Truck Shop. I love spaghetti westerns . When I hear that music, I see a horse and rider in the distance, slowly getting closer with a dust trail behind them. It got me thinking I could do the same with an old bulldog and a worn out driver that doesn't look anything like Clint Eastwood. Here is my version with the music from Good, Bad and Ugly .

Freightrain Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 One of my favorites is Pale Rider. I can watch it over and over. Not that others aren't good, but I just like this one. Throw in Breakheart Pass with Bronson. Ya, another one I can watch over and over. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

seyser Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 All listed are excellent movies. Here are a couple more great ones. They call me trinity, and Trinity is still my name. Both very good spaghetti westerns to watch if anyone hasn't seen them.

BillyT Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 How about "lonesome dove" possibly my favorite western! Also "Apache" but Burt Lancaster was a little taller than most Apaches! The Oxbow Incident was good, one of few movies of that era with a racial theme!

Truck Shop Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 The 1959 classic The Big Country with Gregory Peck. Burl Ives played a role as a true hard ass no one could have played that part better.
