Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 3575072, member: 1245"] I personally love this topic. Need to mention Errol Flynn in Dodge City & San Antonio, and Glen Ford in Arizona. Clark Gable/Jane Russell in Tall Men, as well as Gary Cooper in Plainsman & The Westerner. Outlaw Josey Wales is my preferred Eastwood movie. Mountain Men w/Brian Keith & Heston, North to Alaska w/John Wayne, Big Country w/ Gregory Peck, Liberty Valance and Rio Grande as classics, the Maverick series, Gunsmoke, … FYI you can watch some episodes of old time shows on YouTube. I recently watched a RinTinTin, Shotgun Slade, and although not exactly a western, Swamp Fox episodes with Leslie Nielson. I'm also liking the Wyatt Earp series now that I understand an awful lot of it is based on actual events chronologically. Enjoyed How The West Was Won, and the James Arness series by the same name, all the Lonesome Doves, Centennial, The Sacketts, Deadwood...(had never realized until later that the real Seth Bullock was best friends with Teddy Roosevelt). Joel Macrea, Randolph Scott, Sam Elliott, Ward Bond, Audie Murphy, Guy Madison.... What a Hollywood disaster over a short time to lose Errol Flynn Oct 14, 1959 (age 50), Ward Bond Nov 5th, 1960 (age 57), Clark Gable 11 days later Nov 16, 1960 (age 59), Gary Cooper May 13, 1961 (Age 60). Amazing how many movies I have enjoyed with these greats and how young they died in quick succession. [/QUOTE]
