After a little reminiscing, came up with these 3 TV series:
1. Wanted Dead or Alive- w/Steve McQueen (who was the last great movie star) Josh Randall, the bounty hunter, had the absolute coolest gun with his "mares leg" a cut down lever action he wore on his hip.
2. Have Gun Will Travel-w/Richard Boone as Paladin, a hired gun based in San Francisco who wore all black when working and the Knight chess piece his trademark. Carried a derringer, which is my edc.
3. The Wild Wild West-w/Robert Conrad as Jim West, and Ross Martin as Artemus Gordon. Secret Service agents exploits, traveling the old west on their personal train.
Trying to name my 3 favorite Western movies was really difficult. Kept remembering this one and that one,...but these are my Top 3:
1. Tombstone-Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holiday was the best performance of his career, lmo.
2. Hombre-my very favorite Paul Newman movie. His portrayal of John Russel was superb.
3. The Magnificent 7-an ensemble cast that included Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn, & Eli Wallach. Based on the 7 Samurai movie, 7 gunfighters defend a farmers village from Mexican Bandits.
(Shane, The Shootist, Nevada Smith, Open Range, Appaloosa, Silverado, The Outlaw Josey Wales,...and it goes on & on. Too many to name. But, I bet some of you out there can help me remember others.)
Spring football can't get here quick enough!
