"Giant", 1956, one of the best movies about Texas. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

Lone Wolf McQuade? A few of Richard Linklater's films, such as: Slacker, Dazed & Confused, Bernie, Boyhood, and Everybody Wants Some!!.
As such, I really enjoyed Texasville. It doesn't get a lot of love. It is a mediocre standalone movie I suppose, but if you watch it knowing it's a continuation of the Last Picture Show characters, it's a pretty good update. Also, Ridley Scott's The Counselor. I really liked that film. Nobody else did. I think people had incredibly high expectations for the Cormac McCarthy script. | |||

Get Off My Lawn |
The Alamo, both John Wayne and Billy Bob Thorton versions, I prefer the latter. Rio Bravo with John Wayne, Dean Martin, Angie Dickinson. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.  Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "If dogs don't go to Heaven, I want to go where they go" Will Rogers The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own... | |||

Honorable Mention for Primer, even if only by cast and locations. | |||

How could I forget Hud. Had very thing. Red neck drinking, driving on dusty roads, family conflicts and a protagonist that seems to have everything going for him that self destructs. That movie set the tone for Newman's carrier. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

Resident Undertaker |
4 for Texas, with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Ursula Andress. Hubba hubba John The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity. | |||
