What did you think of the movie based on Elmore Leonard's book, starring Paul Newman - "Hombre". I thought it was very good and is one of my favorite westerns. Hombre is great too. Anytime you put an actor like Newman and a writer like Leonard together, it's going to be worth watching. My favorite western is Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch". I need to check some of these out. My favorite western is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. What a cast! |

That’s what I was thinking, you know? Like the fk do you think in funny. You mean the way I type? I type like clown? Just how the fk do you think I’m funny? I have a friend that looks a fair amount like Pecsi. He talks a little like him, too. He’s from Columbia v NYC to Colorado Springs. I used to work with him in my solar business… |

I’m not sure… Daniels is one of my favorite actors. Plays a really bad guy in "Godless"...a really bad guy. Another bad guy in "A Man In Full", which was OK. |

Stagecoach, The Searchers and one I'm very fond of, My Darling Clementine with Henry Fonda. |

Stagecoach, The Searchers and one I'm very fond of, My Darling Clementine with Henry Fonda. Yes. Those are excellent. Speaking of Henry Fonda, disconcerting to see him play a cold-blooded killer in Once Upon A Time in the West. A rare foray into playing the villain. Seems like there was one other western where he did that, can't recall the name though. Fire Creek maybe? |

Another of my favorite westerns with Burt Lancaster who was very good in it. A more recent western that I enjoyed was Hostiles. |

I’m not sure… Daniels can be a very good serious actor. He was in the movie Gettysburg which was based on Michael Shara's Pulitzer Prize winning book "Killer Angels". I really enjoyed the movie but the critics didn't seem to care for it. The book is in my top ten list. |

Here's a clip of Fonda talking about having brown contacts made to make his character in Once Upon a Time in the West more menacing. Sergio Leone would have none of it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHI6Hl7FUqA&ab_channel=SiMelzerCould the film you're referring to be "My Name is Nobody" with Terence Stamp? If it is, it's real good. |

Thanks for the clip of Fonda. The comments to the clip mention his role as a heavy in Fire Creek with Jimmy Stewart. |

One of my favorite westerns is the one with Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner, “ Open Range.”

I'm a huge Paul Newman fan. Say pretty much every movie. I liked Hombre but not in the tops of his.
Open Range is a great one.
Fun trying teach the kids Paul Newman was Hudson Hornet.
Also my son is a big Star Wars fan. I was watching Bridge on the River Kwai and he could not river Alec Guinness was Obi-Wan.
