I have two copies of Second Hand Lions on DVD and have watched it at least a half dozen times. Great movie.

Casablanca is another great movie I have on DVD and have watched several times.

"Now, you listen to me. Anything goes wrong. Anything at all. Your fault, my fault, nobody's fault. It don't matter. I'm gonna blow your head off."

Jacob McCandless in Big Jake, another great John Wayne movie.

The Ghost And The Darkness

Those actual lions are mounted and are downstairs in the Chicago Museum of Natural Science.

It's in the credits at the end of the movie.

Good post, guys. I saw The Quick and the Dead yesterday. I really like L'amour and Sam Elliot both. I watched the original Stagecoach yesterday also. Great movie.
Too long to post but Lonesome Dove is still my all time favorite.

Ray

I agree Ray. The book won the Pulitzer Prize .

I've been trying to read Lonesome Dove for the past month and just can't get into it. I haven't even made it to page 100 yet.

Jerry,
It is a book that just caught or captured my imagination from the very start. Also, it was a book that I hated to see end. Maybe it is just the cowboy in me but it sure worked for me. Needless to say, I loved the 'Texas bull'. I liked and identified with the characters for the most part.

Tommy Lee Jones when he was younger. It's not great but it's okay. Some crude language.

A few years ago I spent two days reading Lonesome Dove, couldn't put it down and also hated to see it end. Hated the ending, though, but I guess it was a lot more realistic than the happy ending I would have liked to see.

Lonesome Dove is one of the best, if not the best, books I've ever read. Fortunately the movie is almost verbatim from the book. One of the very few Hollywood didn't screw up. Jerry D., if you can't get into the book, get the movie. (Warning though, it's a mini-series so I think it's about 8 hours long.) As a Texas history buff I can tell you although it's classified as fiction, the book is a composite of actual events and real people, probably the most realistic fictional representation of what frontier Texas Rangers were really like. Several scenarios from the novel can be found described in the non-fiction book The Texas Rangers, 100 Years of Frontier Defense by Walter Prescott Webb. Dan, as for the ending it's based on actual events from the lives of Texas cattlemen Charles Goodnight and his business partner Oliver Loving. (Spoiler alert) Loving was mortally wounded by Comanche Indians in New Mexico while on a cattle drive, eventually died from gangrene, was temporarily buried until Goodnight could complete the cattle drive and subsequently bring Loving's body back to Texas for burial as Loving had requested. Like most things in the book, McMurtry borrowed the actual event and wove it into his story.

Watching The Sting with Robert Redford and Paul Newman tonight on TCM. Reminded me of the great movies Paul Newman made, including of course Cool Hand Luke, and Hud (based on another Larry McMurtry novel). IMHO Newman's best movie though is one not many know about, Nobody's Fool.

"Cool Hand Luke" is hard to beat Ken,but I agree with you about "Nobody's Fool",it's maybe his best role and movie. I absolutely loved it. I didn't know "Hud" was based on a McMurtry novel,thanks.
