It's in my top 5 favorites. Great movie, even better book.
Agreed, I've read most of McMurtry's books.
Jake Spoon: A man that will talk to a pig ain't no better than a farmer.
Gus McCrae: I expected you to own a bank or at least a whorehouse by now Jake. It seems life has been a disappointment to both of us.
Jake Spoon: That might be so, but by God, I ain't never said a word to a pig.

x2, and the books were based on several different unconnected but true historical accounts, most of which are even better stories than Mcmurtry's books.
p.s., Choctaw Bingo is awesome.
"You do more work than you ought to, so it's my obligation to do less."
"That's enough! Aye Gods, that is ENOUGH!"
Did anyone else notice when Gus was trapped behind his horse the sound was wrong between shots fired and bullet kicking up dust. When Gus fired his Henry you'd see the smoke, hear the shot, then see the dust kick up. Since a Henry shoots at very near speed of sound you should see the smoke first, then hear the shot and see bullet impact at about the same time.
I know, I'm a picky SOB!

It ran on REELZ yesterday and today. It's still as good as it always has been. That is all...
I liked reading the McMurtry books. Then I found out he wrote Brokeback Mountain and I haven't read another one. I guess it shouldn't bother me but it did.
The only reason that movie was made was to try and get people to accept a lifestyle that many don't agree with and McMurtry helped.

“If you only come face to face with your own mistakes once or twice in your life, it’s bound to be extra painful. I face mine every day ,that way they ain’t usually much worse than a dry shave.” said Gus.
I read a lot of his books. Didn't read Brokeback.
