Good hunter, free us from this waking nightmare

Yeah 3:10 To Yuma rules. Also Quigley would've been a whole lot loving better without that crazy woman existing and it was just Tom Selleck shooting people with a Sharps and flaunting his amazing mustache.

In bad western news, gently caress Appaloosa. You'd think the combo of Ed Harris pistol whipping people and Viggo Mortensen packing a massive shotgun around would be cool but god drat you'd be loving woefully incorrect.

A "huckleberry" was a small unit of measure, like saying "a tad." Calling yourself a huckleberry meant being humble like saying "awe shucks I'm not so great."

Another phrase was "I'm a huckberry to your persimmon" which meant "I'm not much but I'm just a little better than you."

A third use of the word was "I'm just the man you're looking for."

So doc was acting humble, saying you weren't much either, saying he was better than you, and that he was just the man to prove it- all at once. A multilevel insult, fyad quality

Tombstone is a great movie, but I think the greatest western of all time would be The Outlaw Josey Wales. Clint Eastwood at his best.

I'll always remember it took me years to realize the "goon" in question is just a very young and chubby Billy Bob Thornton.

Honest to God, I cannot think of a more incredible cast that has ever been assembled for a film. This of course doesn't include movie's like Ocean's 11 or "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" where they cast every famous person ever.

I love the scene when Doc and the Earps are talking in the street and BBT walks up sheepishly with a shotgun. He just stands there afraid to call attention to himself when Doc turns to him and dismissively says, "Oh. Johnny, I apologize. I forgot you were there. You may go now. Leave the shotgun."

Didn't the real life Earp just straight up go around murdering the Clantons and McLaurys?
In the film it depicts him joining the US marshals.

Just realized watching that video that Michael Rooker was in this too, didn't recognize him at first with all the hair.

Rob Roy was a decent spaghetti-Western set in Scotland. I think it suffered from some bad acting (soldiers throwing up their hands and falling over when shot, for instance) but it's still one I like to watch every now and again. It even has the best sword duel I can think of in any movie.
