I am shocked. I didn't realize he was battling stomach cancer. He was just 62. A big country star.

I read about his death. Another from pancreatic cancer. Shaft was a groundbreaking movie embraced by all audiences.

They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother...
(Shut your mouth)
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft
(Then we can dig it)

Time to take the Marrakesh Express to Woodstock and Teach Your Children to Love the One Your With whose staying in Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.

I was shocked when reading of her death. Only 63. Immediately brought memories of a better time.

Wow, Pet is 90. I first knew her via her big hits like Downtown then seeing her in movies like Goodbye Mr Chips with Peter O'Toole. Before she was a pop star, she was a teen actress and I have seen her in old movies.

Yes, I saw notice of his passing. I had seen Phillips in numerous movies and TV for many years. Young people wojld know him from Harry Potter.

Your tits and nipples are awesome!

Fine movie. It was a remake of Kurosawa's Japanese classic "The Seven Samurai" which in turn was Kurosawa's tribute to the influence of John Ford.

Uncle Miltie!

That film had a great title song sung by Gene Pitney.

Alan Hale Jr. was the son of Alan Hale who frequently co-starred with Errol Flynn in westerns and famously as Friar Tuck in "The Adventures of Robin Hood."

Let's not forget Shirley Jones starred in two other classic musicals, "Carousel" and "The Music Man."

How about "Calamity Jane" starring Doris Day from 1953?

Weill, "Oklahoma" really isn't a western in the traditional sense. Still a great musical.

"Shane" is a classic for sure. How about "High Noon" and "Once Upon a Time in the West"?

A good one they would never make today as it had one of Clint's highest body counts! Too many blazing guns for today.

I am currently watching "The Fugitive" being shown on ME-TV.

I read that "Justified" is being revived and coming back.

Sitting around the campfire again?

Johnny Mack Brown was a top western star in the 30s.

Melody Patterson

"The Guns of Will Sonnett" was a late 60s show I watched as a kid. Starred Walter Brennan.

"Deadwood" was an HBO series in the mid-2000s. A muddy dirty more realistic western with a strong cast. Worth checking out.

Really? "F Troop" was a western sitcom in the mid 60s starring Ken Berry, Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch.

Adam (Pernell Roberts) was the most serious brother and Roberts chose to leave the series early as he grew tired of it. Maybe was frustrated being serious and dealing with the more comedic Hoss and Little Joe.

I have been watching "Laramie" which is shown on Grit TV.

That's a great one!

You can't beat Clint as The Man With No Name.

I love the old TV westerns and consider Gunsmoke the greatest, Then Wagon Train and Rawhide. The Virginian had a sweeping theme.

I have watched 100s of western movies and so many classics to choose form. How about The Searchers and Red River?

I consider Rawhide the greatest western TV series theme. Don't forget the Ballad of Palladin from Have Gun Will Travel.

Bonanza was more of a light "western" not being as serious and rugged as westerns of the same era. Hoss was little more than a big clown.

Branded starred Chuck Connors as a court martialed soldier stripped of buttons and epaulettes and his sword is snapped in two.

It was a sign of respect because Stanwyck was already a legendary movie star actress and revered within the industry.
