"I regret trifling with married women. I'm thoroughly ashamed at cheating at cards. I deplore my occasional departures from the truth. Forgive me for taking your name in vain, my Saturday drunkenness, my Sunday sloth. Above all, forgive me for the men I've killed in anger... and those I am about to."

One of my favorite Wayne movies.

I also like the other quote when talking to Bruce Dern "I've been shot twice, had my hip broken... ...and on my worst day I could still beat the hell outta you"
(Don't remember it exactly)

Red River, Big Jake, Rio Bravo, The Searchers, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance are my personal favorites.... but I will pretty much watch any JW movie that happens to be on.

My wife's aunt hates Bruce Dern to this day for killing Mr. Anderson.


I remember watching the movie in a middle school class and thought it was one of the greatest things I've ever watched. Still a top 5 movie of all time for me.

Dern was hated by lots of people and believed that scene damaged his career.

"She had a belly button so big you could stick your middle finger in it!"

"You mean there's bug juice in this camp?!"

"You black all over? Except for the white of my eyes."

Best lines in the movie.

El Dorado is my top Western.

The Cowboys is good, lots of other good mentions in the thread, too.

The summer before my last year @ A&M I took Life & Literature of the Southwest as an English elective with some friends.

Over the course of the short session we made some more friends in that class and had a pretty good time. At the end of the term my rommate and I hosted a 'Cowboys' party at our apartment. Everyone dressed up as a character. Jebediah won the best costume drink. He was not black, at least not before he got in costume. Think Tropic Thunder. Good times.

I was 10 years old when my family went to see it while we were in San Antonio.
I believe it was either the premier showing or within a day or two of the release.
It was at the Majestic Theatre in downtown SA, we were staying at the St. Anthony hotel, still remember like yesterday. Like many of those quotes, I still use them, here are 2 of my favorites.

JW -"You fellas oughta go down to the general store and pick you up one of them Engersol watches.They won't lose more'n a minute a month and you can't break'em with a hammer!"
Ranch Hand - "yessir Mr. Andersen, I know we're late."
JW - "YOU'RE 2 HOURS LATE!"

JW- "Smell that?, been smellin' that for 40 year, never could get used to it!"

Mrs Andersen - "I'll think of you every night when I go to bed"
JW - "You do and you won't get any sleep!"

I had no idea the role haunted Dern that way.
