Clyde Henry 7046 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 "My Darling Clementine" When Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp responds to old man Clanton's (played by Walter Brennan - a bad guy no less) question as to Wyatt's new job, Wyatt responds by saying "Marshaling".

Laramie Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 For me, it's a head to head race between Open Range and Tombstone. Both are filled with unforgettable lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawman Mays Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 A lot of great ones from John Wayne movies. For example, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Scene: when Liberty comes into the restaurant and trips Jimmy Stewart causing his tray with John Wayne's steak on it to fall on the ground. Liberty orders Jimmy Stewart to pick up. John Wayne steps in and says "No, you pick it up". Great scene. Just saw this the other night, so it's fresh on my mind. Tombstone has many great lines, "I've got two guns, one for each of you", "I'll be your Huckleberry" . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited 9 hours ago by Purdy Good Typo My Granddad was a big Irish-American born in central Texas about the same time as John Wayne. He had the look and build of Mr. Wayne, shared the same values and to me they were somehow one and the same. He is the reason I know much more about John Wayne than a normal person should. (His youngest son, my mother’s brother, could have doubled for the Duke.) Granddad did many things in his life to earn a living but he was first, foremost and always a rancher. I was lucky in that mom and dad made sure we spent a lot of time with him. He is the one that taught me to hunt, fish and enjoy the outdoors. As to the scene in the movie, I can remember many times when he would take my brother and I out to a pasture, give us a single shot .410 shotgun and tell us to go get a squirrel or something. He would then go up on the side of a nearby hill and watch us from his horse or later his pickup. He was always far enough to make us think we were on our own, but close enough to come if he was needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Reb, SASS #54804 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 one of my favorite scenes is from chisum - at the river "did you bring gold" "did you bring silver" "nope-just lead" From the war wagon- "mine fell first" "mine was taller" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Trying to pick one Western as my favorite is almost insurmountable. If I REALLY had to pick one, I'd be inclined to choose The Shootist since it was for all intents and purposes the last traditional one made in Hollywood. But as for a favorite line from a western, to me, nothing will ever outshine that immortal phrase... FILL YOUR HAND YOU SON OF A BITCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 My current favorite is The Wild Bunch, because it has no good guys and about 17 minutes of pure action with very little dialog...hijacking the train sequence! Brilliant action and direction by Peckinpah, words not necessary. A close second is the original Magnificent Seven, as you can tell from my signature: "I was aiming at the horse!"

Hollifer A. Dollar Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 My favorite western has always been Rio Lobo. Yes it is a bit camp & the firearms are totally anachronistic, but it has great action & a lot of good lines. "What did you brew this with?" comes to mind.

Dantankerous Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Too many good lines from westerns to mention. But one that always cracks me up is from the 2010 True Grit. Rooster Cogburn while in the Jake hollers through the door to Matty who has stalked him there, "There is no clock on my business! The hell with you! How did you stalk me here???" I laugh out loud every time I see that scene. How's that for a tough guy line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
