Anything with Clint or The Duke makes it an instant classic(except Bridges of Madison County but we'll just forget about that for now)


The best clint cowboys are:
1. For A few Dollars more
2. High Planes Drifter

The best duke movie ever

THE SEARCHERS

oh and I also liked the cowboys in Tombstone. That movie kicks ass!

[Professor Falk]

Way, way, WAY too many to name. (Pike Bishop rules. I'd rob banks w/ him...) Here's a few: Again, I endorse Antonio's list.

I also like the Bronson character from Once Upon a Time in the West. "Only at the point of dyin'..."

Among Eastwood characters, I really like Joe Kidd, from the Sturgis film of that name.

The two best Wyatt Earps are Burt Lancaster in Sturgis' Gunfight At The O.K. Corral and Henry Fonda in My Darling Clementine.

I like all of Wayne's characters in the Rio Bravo Trilogy: Rio Bravo, El Dorado (probably my fave of the three...) and Rio Lobo. The combo of Wayne, Howard Hawks and Leigh Brackett's scripts make for three really wonderful movies, that I can watch over and over.
