'Lonesome Dove' is one of the finest mini-series ever to be shown on TV and certainly the best western, IMO. Others that I consider great mini-series worth re-watching were 'The Pacific' and 'The Holocaust'. An earlier mini-series that I recall watching was the 70's 'Rich Man, Poor Man', with Nick Nolte.
I watched another Robert Duval movie last night...also starring Michael Caine & always worth another viewing: 'Second-Hand Lions.'
Agreed, RJ: Nothing better than good movies with drinks and popcorn in the privacy of one's own home.

I watched all of Lonesome Dove with Robert Duvall, excellent mini series. Also remember watching Rich Man Poor Man with Nick Nolte when he was just starting out. Real cute then.
The Thornbirds was my favorite with Richard Chamberlain & Barbara Stanwyck.

He wasn't all bad. He loved the smell of Napalm in the morning. It smelled like victory!
Maybe the most iconic line out of the movie 'Apocalypse Now'.

He was Frank Burns in the movie MASH. Pretty dark role in the movie.
That reminds me that Radar was the only character & actor that from that movie to play his same role on TV.

If I remember right the Tornbirds was a rather dark drama. Lots of intrigue!
James Garner played Call in one of them. Maybe it was dead man's walk when he was after Joey The outlaw kid.

James Garner played Call in 'Streets of Laredo'.
Streets of Laredo (1995) Summary
Captain Woodrow Call, now retired from the Rangers, is a bounty hunter. He is hired by an eastern rail baron to track down Joey Garza, a new kind of killer, only a boy, who kills from a distance with a rifle. Joined by his old compadre Pea Eye, it is a long ride to south Texas and the Mexican side of the border, where the past, in the form of Maria Garza, Joey's mother, haunts Call.
That's right that was a good one.

Never knew about Marvin's version. The Selleck movie was pretty good. His movie Quigley Down Under was good. Nice rifle.
I really liked that movie.
Please don't leave out "Comanche Moon" and "Streets of Laredo".
Which one had MOX MOX the man burner?

from Streets of Laredo (1995)
Kevin Conway as Mox Mox... [flashback where Mox Mox is about to burn Lorena and a boy]
Mox Mox : This is gonna make you burn hotter. I'm gonna burn you first, so you don't have to hear that little boy holler.
[Blue Duck arrives and fires a shot in the air] Blue Duck : What do you think you're doing?
Mox Mox : I'm gonna burn that blue-eyed whore! I don't see what business that is o' yours.
Blue Duck : She's my whore. That what business it is of mine. And you ain't burnin' her. Not today.
Mox Mox : Why not, by God?
Blue Duck : Because she's my bait, by God. The old ranger McCrae will come lookin' for her. All we gotta do is wait. Once he gets here, you can burn them both.
Mox Mox : I wanna court her, at least.
Blue Duck : She's my bait! You can have the boy.
Wow! to remember all that dialog. Who remembers where and what movie came this famous line.
"That's mighy big talk for a one eyed fat man!' ?? Just Sayin...RJS
Well, for sure, at least John Wayne's edition of 'True Grit.' Can't recall if Jess Bridges uttered the same line in the remake of the movie, but probably so.
