For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Peg...I really think we just MIGHT be brothers after all.  Of course I am younger, taller, and better looking and Mom loved me best...but we have the same taste in movies.

Lonesome Dove, Rio Bravo, Big Jake, and True Grit are my faves of all time.  Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid is up there too...Peckinpah ROCKED!

PegLeg, I think it'd be worth every penny!  Might even have to go for the 45/120.  Now, If I only had the cash...

I think it is time to watch that whole movie again though :).  Good clip!

OMG, unless I missed it, no one listed the greatest Western ever - The Wild Bunch!

The scene at the end, when Robert Ryan walks among the dead, and Pike's hand is on the machine gun, a spent 1911 on the table, and his Colt still in its holster said it all.

Has nobody seen Shane? The bar gun fight is classic !

Also how about Red River with John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, Joanne Dru. Oh my lordy Joanne Dru ! and Wayne is using his famous short barreled Colt SA.

And jumping into the future try The Fifth Element with Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Milla Jovovich. Oh lordy Milla !

Finally the best western movie every made in the history of the planet Earth, My Darling Clementine with Henry Fonda, Victor Mature and Linda Darnell. Oh lordy Linda Darnell !! Directed by none other than John Ford.

Oh I almost forgot The Searchers directed by Ford again. With Wayne, Capt. Pike err...I mean Jeffrey Hunter and a so young, so beautiful and so sweet Natalie Wood. 

Which brings to mind (I don't know why) A Walk In the Sun with Dana Andrews, Richard Conte. Great WWII flick.

And sense we are talking about Dana Andrews...How about The Best Years of Their Lives...I can't watch that without crying like a baby.

I'm amazed this thread is still running. I'll add the best movie ever. Matewan. Its got bluegrass, Appalchian history, labor politics, one of thest movie lines ever ("Might be some shootin'.) Top it all off with the best run up to a gun fight in the street sequence ever made, not a word spoken, and it cannot be beat. As an added bonus if you are, like I was, twenty something and dating hippie chicks, they think you're progressive for liking it, and ignore the fact you're enjoying the music and 20's era period mayhem. You can't beat it with a stick!

The American Film Institute has various 100 great movies lists (movie, comedy, score etc). Choose a list and see how many have you seen? Too bad they don't have a TOP 100 GUN MOVIES list !!! But then the Hollyweed crowd probably would think we are all sociopaths. :)
