Did anyone catch the AFI Top Ten, of Ten Catagories.
The top ten westerns had some interesting picks.
I didn't agree with some of their picks (especially in some of the other catagories), but my favoriate John Wayne movie was picked as the number one western.
1) The Searchers.
2) High Noon
3) Shane
4) The Unforgiven
5) Red River
6) The Wild Bunch
7) Butch Casidy & the Sundance Kid
8 McCabe and Mrs Miller
9) Stage Coach
10) Cat Ballue
The Magnificent Seven was not in the top ten and they included McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Go figure.

Cat Ballou and McCabe and Mrs Miller? Go figure?
-
Didn't see the AFI show.Was that "The Unforgiven"with Burt Lancaster?

No. It was the Eastwood movie.
The Burt Lancaster / Audie Murphy The Unforgiven was probably more deserving than McCabe & Mrs. Miller. ::)

The Westerner with Gary Cooper and True Grit should have been on that list. Cat Ballou was more of a comedy than a Western, I've never seen McCabe and Mrs Miller. I still think they should be omitted and replaced by better films.
-
Unforgiven is the movie with Eastwood. THE Unforgiven is the movie with Lancaster. Unforgiven is the movie in the top ten.

The difference has been noted. :-[
It is interesting [at least to me] that titles are not copywritable. So you can have several movies &/or books with the same title.
This can make it real confusing at the bookstore sometimes. ???

I saw McCabe & Mrs. Miller (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067411/). I could have spent 1.5 hours at the dentist and enjoyed myself more. ::)

I almost like Hombre better than Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid if I had to pick a Newman western.
"Hey? I have a question. How're you going to get back down off this hill?"
-
McCabe and Mrs. Miller has its moments, however it is not a top ten or even top twenty in my book. I will say that in its day it was a decent enough movie.

I'm not sure I could squeeze it into my top 100.

Well they didn't include "The Cowboys" as one so I figger they don't know squat. Everyone knows watching that movie and Rawhide has led me astray, and they say this stuff don't influnce kids. Mr. Nightlinger and Wishbone led me down this path. ;D

Del, I can't think of two better role models. What about Dug Taylor's character in the "Undefeated"? , and Shortgrub, the Cat.

Short Grub was Ben Johnson's character. The cat was called something similar, and I always want to call the cat Shrt Grub. I can't for the life of me remember the cat's anme right now. "Take care of ?????? for me."

Watchin’ the Undefeated. The cat’s name was Hotbread.
-
I had forgotten that Dub Taylor was in it.

Dub Taylor wasn't he the one takin care of a passal of kids in that movie?
-
Dub Taylor was the chuck wagon cook for the former Union soliders, under John Wayne, taking horses to sell to Maximilian in the Undefeated.
Roscoe Lee Brown played Jebediah Nightlinger, the chuck wagon cook in The Cowboys with John Wayne. Helped Wayne ride herd on a bunch of kids wrangling a herd of Wayne’s cattle.
-
I meant in Eastwood's Undefeated didn't Dub Taylor keep house and mind some kids for Eastwood's character!
-
Eastwood was never in a movie called the Undefeated. I think you might be thinking of Unforgiven ( not to be confused with Burt Lancaster’s The Unforgiven). The only movie that had both Dub Taylor and Clint Eastwood in it was Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
-
I did mean Unforgiven, I remember Dub taking care of somebody's children in a movie. It was a small part at the beginning of the movie. Perhaps, now that I've thought on it it was A John Wayne movie, Maybe Cahill, U.S. Marshal?
