Who Was Your Greatest Cowboy Hero ?

[redman41]

Was it John Wayne, Glenn Ford, Alan Ladd, Gary Cooper, Richard Widmark, or anyone else.John Wayne was always John Wayne, no matter which Film he starred in...lol..lol
'True Grit' springs to mind, especially when they made the re-make in 2010, starring Jeff Bridges.
He became the Rooster Cogburn character (Brilliant Actor), whereas John Wayne was still himself.
I find most of the modern day re-makes far better, because of better technical equipment.

Mount up men - we'll head them off at the pass
lol

If you are asking favourite film then The Big Country without a shadow of a doubt

[rowanwitch]

Hilary Swank was good in the Homesman with a very wrinkly Tommy Lee Jones. He is not wearing well

[Togo]

It's an ambush Baz...…. Take care. :))

[seekeerz]

My mistake with Big Country .....He wasnt really a cowboy at all, just a good role in a very good film.

[seekeerz]

We watched Shane yesterday ....oh has a pretty extensive library of Westerns and they're easy to watch....I like Alan Ladd as well

I will Togo - i'll be bringing up the rear - lol

The best horse of course was Champion....Gene Autry's horse. Closely followed by Hoof Hearted.

[rowanwitch]

Favourite probably 3.10 to Yuma remake with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe.

Maybe not a hero exactly, the guy who relaid the slabs in our driveway.

[mccfluff]

does longmire count? if so longmire (robert taylor)

[redman41]

Get Clint Eastwood to deal with him douglas9401...lol...lol

[rowanwitch]

If we are wandering into box sets.....
Anson Mount as Cullen Bohannon in Hell on Wheels. Sort of cowboy ish. fluffing gorgeous.

[Togo]

Lol @ Douglas. He must have been a hype laying drifter.

[Arksided]

Emilio Estevez - William H Bonney aka Billy the Kid in Young guns I & II simply because I'd was told at the time how much I looked like him on many occasion :-)

Second before Clint Eastwood comes Woody from Toy story.

[hellywelly4]

I always liked Audie Murphy

[tiggerblue10]

The Man with no name.

[rosyposy]

Deffo Clint for me

[New Judge]

Jay Silverheels ("Tonto" in "The Lone Ranger")

"Yes, Khemosahbee" was his catchphrase. Crazy name, crazy guy!

It always puzzled me why nobody could recognise the Lone Ranger ("Who was that masked man?"). All he had on was an eyeshade with two holes. I imagine we were more easily taken in back then.

Gary Cooper in High Noon. That old fascist John Wayne disapproved of Cooper’s Academy Award. This makes it even better as performance and film.
