I know most people say that John Wayne is the greatest but for me it has always been Clint Eastwood. I love all of Clint Eastwoods westerns but my favorite is The Outlaw Josie Wales. He has a lot of great lines in there, not just him but many of the characters have great lines that my buddies and I quite often repeat. I recently was in court because, of my chickens, and the county's Prosecuting Attorney made an opening statement about us being a "civilized nation". That made me think of Lone Watie (the old indian) who talked about the white man called his tribe civilized in the indian nation.
I like all westerns, old, new, 1/2 western, just about anything with a horse in it, I'll watch. I thoroughly enjoyed the new "True Grit" and will watch it again when it comes to the boob tube.
