they are on my TV....of course I've never figured out what the big deal is with Oz....looks just like Kansas to me...



(BTW...I have seen 7...just not shane)

 

What was the guys name that threw the knif in Mag 7. I loved that scene. Dang, I can't remember him, he went on to become a popular actor in his mature years.

 

James Coburn?

 

Yes, thanks. He was great in that part. Didn't speak, just killed.

 

Rose I see your list almost mirrors mine. You have good taste in cinema entertainment. I almost put Butch Cassidy down too. I even had it typed, among many many others... but it got taken out in the edit.

Only Duke Movie where he dies.

If someone who dosen't like westerns is here, I will put that in, it has gotten several people to start liking westerns just by watching that one.

 

He gets it in his last movie 'The Shootist'.
He also bought it in 'The Sands of Iowo Jima' 1949 as SGT Stryker.
Jimmy Stewart goes to his funeral in 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence'.

I got 'the room', remember?

 

It's probably been 10 years since I've pulled that one down, but I thought he just got shot in the bar room during the shootist (Trivia did you know he was so old that he could not fall properly. So for that scene they tied a rope around his leg to trip him! Kind of like they use to the horses. If you look you can see teh rope when he falls.) Anyway I didn't think that he died there, and I thought the movie ended before the cancer actually got him. I thought he was going to die, but didn't actually die during the movie.

I don't think that I've seen 'The Sands of Iowo Jima', guess I'll have to start looking for that one.

I remember watching 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence' with my dad as a kid, I have it but thik it still has the plastic on it. I dont remeber his funeral there either, I may have to pull that one down this weekend.

 

the man who shot liberty valence is pretty good.

 

1) They Call Me Trinity

2) Trinity Is Still My Name

3) My Name Is Nobody.

The first two are questionable, but if you're a fan of westerns they're a must see.

The third one is one of the all timers. Henry Fonda stars in it.

 

The Cowboys is my all time favorite western. Bruce Dern is just creepy in that movie!

Thanks Matt

 

I used to watch every single wayneathon on tv. Those are the best westerns, and they are true classics not hollywood trumped up crap

Rooster Cogburn
True Grit
The Searchers
Cahill U.S. Marshall
The Cowboys
Big Jake
Chisum

and I think the other one was The Man who Shot Liberty Valence

Those are real Westerns. Now, the only good western that wasn't hollywooded or womanized (sharon stone doesn't make a western) was definately Tombstone. That, even though new age, was a great western that maintained integrity.

 

It's been a long time for me too. I remember that Ron Howard shot the man that shot the Duke, I thought the Duke died.

Here is some trivia for you. Many famous Cowboy stars were taught to draw by a quick draw shooting champion. He taught James Arness of 'Gunsmoke'. They wanted him to do the opening sequence where Matt Dillion steps into the street for a showdown. He agreed, under one condition. No one in the World, literally, was faster than him. Marshall Dillon gunned him down in the opening score when the music stopped but, there are two gun shots, the first one is his. Marshal Dillion wasn't faster but his aim was true.
Arvo Ojala was the Man in Black. He went to the last roundup in 2005 at age 86.

 

NO WAY!!! The best line had to be, "Buzzards gotta eat, same as the worms..."

I LOVE that movie!!!

I grew up watching a lot of old western movies and shows... The Turner Network was AWESOME!!!

 

He may have but I was thinking it turned out that it grazed his left gut missing fitals and last scene was him in the hospital bed. I could be very wrong, I might be mixing a couple of movies together or getting the scenes out of order.

Arvo Ojala also did alot of trick shooting and gun tricks too.
The man knew how to handle a gun.
They did a story on him on the western channel (maybe???) a few years ago. It was cool, I wish that I would have taped it.

I couldn't have told you his name though.

 

Who was that old guy in all of the old westerns that had the googly eyes and always sounded like he was drunk? His name is on the tip of my tongue. I loved that guy...

Also, would A Man Called Horse and Return of a Man Called Horse be considered westerns?
