1)Anything with "The Duke" Too many come to mind to make a choice.

"The Cowboys", "The man who shot Liberty Valance", "The Searchers", "Hondo" "The Sons Of Katie Elder" to name a few.

2) Clint Eastwood, "Joe Kidd", Hangem High, and yea even "Paint Your Wagon.

3) Tombstone has to have a place now in my list. I think the cast and the "I'll be your huckleberry" made this an instant favorite for me.

"That ole devil" as described by Curly Bill, is beautiful!

 

[CajunBass]

1. Lonesome Dove

2. Centennial

3. The Magnificent Seven

Barbarosa

"The Gambler" series with Kenny Rogers. I just think they are very entertaining.

Thats like asking me what my favorite flavor of ice cream is. I do tend to favor anything with the "Duke" in it. I would have to place "Red River" real close to the top though. JMHO
