Originally posted by monochrome Bullitt ended 2 minutes ago - Steve McQueen week on TCM. Starting The Sand Pebbles. @17Dew I considered putting LibertyValance in my What About? List above. It should go in place of Butch Cassidy, but that’s why I wrote there are probably 50 Best Westerns and selecting 10 is subjective.
I watched Bullit on TCM tonight. It's one of those movies ..if it is on...invariably I'll tune it in, like I do with North by Northwest. While watching Bullit today I was attempting to explain to my grandson, why Steverino was the King of Cool. Not sure I've convinced him completely...yet.
Liberty Valance is a great movie. Lee Marvin as the sociopath Valance and Strother Martin as his weaselly sidekick who was always revving Valance up are wonderful in this movie.
I like Butch Cassidy , but I prefer Liberty Valance. The characters in Liberty Valance are well - drawn IMO.
