My favorite will always been Westerns. Think how hard a Western was to film. Outside (for the most part) you had to get a horse to stop at this spot with blanks and all going off. | |||

Just about any movie with Paul Newman in it. He was a genius at choosing great scripts, and could act with the very best of them. Hud Cat on a Hot Tin Roof The Long, Hot Summer The Hustler Hombre Cool Hand Luke Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid The Sting Slap Shot Absence of Malice The Verdict The Color of Money Road to Perdition Probably left out a bunch of other good ones. Not really a genre, but what an actor. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Mike, I agree with you on Paul Newman; one of my favorite actors + a very decent person in real life. I really enjoyed "Hud" as they did a great movie from Larry McMurtry's book "Horseman Pass By", that was true to the Wichita Falls area of north Texas where I grew up. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Way back machine story. My buddy was a phone man in NYC for 30 years. He's 86 y/o now. He got a job to fix Paul Newmans phone. He and his helper show up at the apartment, they meet Paul and his wife Joanne. The phone was in their office so Joe goes about his business. Paul disappears and comes back with a 6 pack of cold ones. He offers Joe and the helper a beer, they both decline. Paul finishes off 4 of the beers. As they are leaving Joanne asked if Paul drank all the beer, they both said they had 1. Forgot... this was 9:30 in the morning Joe has stories about Roy Scheider and Candice Bergen, Rodney Dangerfield, Woody and Soon Yi Allen, David Niven and a few more I forgot. | |||

Back to the subjecdt at hand; I do like Westerns, but good ones. Anything Johne Wayne after 1939 "Stagecoach", the early stuff was pap. More current, "The Long Riders", "The Life + Times of Jesse James", "Quigley down under", Gunfight at the O.K. corral, ad nauseum; I think that expresses my tastes.  Never mistake motion for action. | |||

My brother's buddy, who builds movie sets, dated Neman's daughter when he was making a movie up here.  II've always enjoyed George C. Scott, Patton is a classic, Westerns ? Jeremiah Johnson, on a cold mid winter night. Grizz When the horse has been eliminated, human life may be extended an average of five or more years. James R. Doolitle I think they've been misunderstood. Timothy Tredwell | |||

As for me and Westerns, anything with John Wayne or Jimmy Stewart in it. I particularly am fond of Rio Bravo and The Searchers, as well as the original True Grit, and Jimmy Stewart in Winchester '73. I also love Open Range, Tombstone, Quigley Down Under, Jeremiah Johnson, the entire Lonesome Dove Series. . . . .  | |||

I totally agree! Of course growing up in the 50s we were inundated bt the Westerns culture (NOTHING wrong with that). Funny you mentioned Lonesome Dove as I was having a conversation about that movie today + an interview with Diane Lane (the whore who Robert Duval followed) + she said in that rape scene when all those men were standing over her, she said, I know it's just a movie set but I was scared to death. I did love the next scene when 'Gus' cleaned house with his Henry! Never mistake motion for action. | |||
