    But the time line on some of the guns is wrong.. Lee Marvin the RCMP is using an 1898 Springfield .30/40 Krag..Charles Bronson is using a Savage 99
    Great movie though..
    Death Hunt was set in 1931, and is a true story. The character Albert Johnson is made up however, as his true identity was never known. The character played by Lee Marvin, Sgt. Millen, was actually one of the first men Johnson killed.

    I couldn't remember the exact time line of the movie.I will have to go back and watch it again.
    I like it because it was one of the last great movies both Bronson and Marvin played in.
    Both did an excellent job.
    I still have an old copy somewhere on VHS.

    McCabe and Mrs. Miller is a good one. This was directed by Robert Altman in a style similar to MASH. It's an unusual story with an unconventional shootout at the end.

    That and Mr. Majestyk are a couple of Charles Bronson's best.

    I just watched Shoot Out starring Gregory Peck. Good guy is a bad guy but ends up a really good guy, white hat and all.

    Just watched The shootist on YouTube. Excellent. I have seen a lot of clint Eastwood westerns but not this one with the duke.

    Just watched this classic the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-KEnU9TBmQ

    "Don't let my fears become yours." - Me, talking to my children

    That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.

    Do you enjoy reading? Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series is worth a look.

    Agree wholeheartedly, and another flick I would recommend is All the Pretty Horses, with Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz. Directed by Billy Bob Thornton. Do yourself a favor and forget your own and the principal actors (and directors) politics for the time it takes to watch it. Cuz, it doesn't matter in this rare case, IMHO.
    Written by Cormac McCarthy, this and the other two books in the Border Trilogy are just exactly right to my way of thinking. Who ever taught or coached Matt Damon on his cowboyology and mannupedness deserves a daggum Oscar or a case of Wild Turkey, mo betta.
