(378 posts)Hombre (Paul Newman in the title role) was tough to watch but worth it.
Rich lady on the coach: The Indians are savages - they eat dogs.
Newman: You ever been hungry lady? And I dont mean ready for dinner. Youd eat dog, and youd fight for the bones.
Based on a book by Elmore Leonard.

(33,422 posts)When I was a young girl, I loved Lassie. I would always cry at the end when Lassie held up her paw. I can hear the music in my head now.
I don't know if that qualifies, though.

(39,878 posts)The original Hopalong Cassidy hard, rough dude with a propensity to swear, and the only thing he had in common with William Boyds Hopalong was their shared ethics. I often wish Mulford's original Hopalong Cassidy was made into a feature length film.

(10,656 posts)I absolutely loved the book. That was one of those books where I got to the last page and said wait, what? Thats it? Does the story really have to end?
Im not much of a westerns fan, but my favs in that genre would have to be Unforgiven and High Plains Drifter.
