The outlaw Josey Wales is on AMC tonite. Never get tired of watching that one. One of the all time great westerns.

Josey Wales:
When I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long.

Lone Watie:
I notice when you get to DISlikin' someone they ain't around for long neither.

I think the chief stole every scene he was in.

It's a great movie... just not on AMC. Hate the commercials and censorship. TCM or Encore are better venues.

Great soundtrack, especially the fife and drum march, "Old 1812" at the beginning of the movie.

Dialogue-wise, it's one of Eastwood's best movies. It's got as many good one-liners as one of the '30s "screwball" comedies. The guns and gun handling are excellent as well.

"Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie"

I love it! I own it! It's one of my favorite movies.
The river crossing sequence and meeting Chief George I think are better than most complete movies!
And getting along with the Comanches is probably out in fantasy land.
They didn't get along with anybody, including other Indians.

I just finished watching it. Great movie. I must have seen it 10 times but will watch again.

One of Mr. Eastwood's best movies.

Loved the Chief, he really helped make the movie!

There are so many interesting things in that movie!
Like- Comancheros. They were a mysterious group of traders from NM who traded with the Comanche- that's why they were named that - and other plains tribes. The Comanches were an elusive and combative tribe.
For example, up at Bents Fort near La Junta, CO they say that most Indians were invited into the fort to trade. But not the Comanches! They traded with them outside.
The Comancheros show up in a number Of movies, usually in a negative way. They probably did at times trade captives- slaves. They may have at times provided the Indians with firearms and powder.
They travelled from NE NM in Carretas. They went as far North as Neb and as far South as the Texas Big Bend.
I think the Comancheros are one of the most interesting and least understood people in this part of the country.
Here is a carreta. Its located at the Martinez hacienda, Taos, NM.

This here's a picture of Josey Wales. Found him on a street corner about 6 years ago. He was pretty beat up & I thought he needed a tough guy name.
Also, if you recall, Ten Bears called him "The Grey Rider". Thus, the handle.
Am I a fan? You bet I am!

One of my favorite movies.... imagine that!
But I can skip the Sondra Locke scenes.... what was I thinking?!?!

Only an Indian could do a thing like that.

Forrest Carter's life ended way too soon, he only wrote 4 books. The movie was made from the first two. It was said some of the chief's lines were from his family legends. Ivan

We just got rid of satellite TV. We live out in the country, so there are no local stations available by antenna either, and no cable. We can get local news on the internet, and we can watch movies and TV shows on Netflix and Hulu Plus. We've even found a few sites that stream current TV programs for free.

It was kind of tough the first couple of days, until we realized that the TV had been mostly background noise anyway, and how little we really watched the programs on TV. The one downside is sports...my wife is a football fanatic, and I can already see we will have to solve that problem, unless I want to take her to a sports bar every time a game is on.

I watched it twice yesterday. I never get tired of: "Are you going to pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?" Several of the photos I bought a few months ago--were during and after that scene.

Been searching for the name of that tune for ages. This deserves 5 likes.

"It takes an Indian to sneak up on an Indian." I love that line.

and only $3 bucks at Dollar General.

Condsider yourself punished enough,. Clint was even nuce enough to give her an "Auf Wiedersehen--NICHT!" package too when the "lady" tried suing him when they broke up. If it werent for Clint--she wouldnt have made more than 2 or 3 movies--none were high budget either.

I've found both that cut from the soundtrack, and a version or two from fife and drum bands on the internet.

I've been trying to find a copy, online or elsewhere, of the march from the Irish Brigade scenes in "Gods and Generals". It's called "Frog in the Well". No luck so far.

He showed everyone the original "New York reload" .

Gott'em All

Lone Watie: its a good thing you stopped her. I liked to kill er.

Also, edit out the Sandra Locke scenes. Clint........really?

Piss on them fellas, buzzards got eat same as worms.

The best quote of the movie

or if you have the time and the patience, 5.00 for it AND Pale Rider at Walmarks That's what I did about half an hour ago. Thanks for the idea guys.

Josey: Got anything to eat?

Lone Waiti: Just this piece of rock candy, but it ain't for eating, it's for looking through!

A few of my favorite quotes...

1) "Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is."

2) Well, Mr. Carpetbagger. We got somethin' in this territory called a Missouri boat ride.

3) Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy.

4) Lone Watie: Get Ready little lady. Hell is coming to breakfast.

Thanks to this thread I found it on TV and watched it for the first time. I do not know why I never watched it before.

So glad i have this movie on DVD and can watch without commercials anytime i want. One of Clint's best.

Don't see Joe Kidd, another great one. I watch Josey 2-3 times a year. my favorite line: "Don't p*** down my back and tell me it's rainin"

Team Edward? Team Jacob? No thank you I'm on team Josey. Watched it last night. I had forgotten how good it was. At the end when he was about to kill the red Legs commander that killed his family, and he was snapping those empty percussion Colts, I half heartedly said, you're ruining your nipples Josey. My girl said, "What would that do to his nipples?" Good stuff!!! Still laughing about it today.

Yeah buddy, Joe Kidd. Gave Lamarr with the machine pistol hell the whole movie.
Kudos to whoever put together the cast of firearms in that movie. I admire that breakdown rifle Josie swiped for the sniper standoff. Appeared Mr. Kidd and myself share an affliction, right-handed yet left eye dominant.

We got him, Abe! We got the Josey Wales, Abe!

Watch him. He's meaner'n a rattler and twice as fast with them pistols.

We have a common interest, Pilgrim. The links between the pirates of the Sea of Cortez, the Ciboleros and the Comancheros are real. The northern end of the Sea connected the wandering/migratory opportunists to those native tribe/spanish mixed land based traders, who had access to the horses that provided the mobility that got the travellers as far as the south central Texas. When we look at a map, it's not that far, but it is harsh country.
Survival of the fittest produced some tough hombres, I rekon.

Great looking dog....looks like a mans dog.....alert and ready to go...

Ill keep a look out for it. Last year I THINK it was on youtube?? because I remember the name somehow. I was looking up Bonnie Blue Flag and I could swear it was one of the videos posted.

Good quote but the "Are you going to pull those pistols or Whistle Dixie" sounds so muc better. Then again, im a Son of Dixie so may be a bit biased.

I downloaded a very good vocal version of "Bonnie Blue Flag" while looking for "Old 1812" and "Frog in the Well". I got it off peer to peer. Can't remember who performed it, or what it was from. Around the same time I got an excellent vocal version of "Garry Owen" as well.

Im at Wm now and think ill see if we have a copy here? I still dont have Pale Rider. I hate it that he has to kill John Russell though. Russell was a Lt. in the Marines in WWII, but also his Commanding Officer at the beginning of Josey Wales.

Also,I am on the lookout for some good John Russell stills. Saw him in an episode of Maverick last night.:-))

I think im going to start doing that soon as I can get internet at home. I found several best versions of many starting last year but,many either now dont work or taken off alltogether.

Another way to find downloadable TV shows and movies is with this program:
Express Files

You put in a search string and it gives you a list of the files found. If you click on a file, it will then download that file. It is more useful than a google search because it connects you directly to the download page.

If you have a puter in the country you have movies on you tube. I watch them in bed. My spinal stenosis is killing me.

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's rainin'.
