“You nerve wracking sons of bitches….”

“You see this? It says UNITED STATES MARSHAL… You called down the Thunder well now you’ve got it…”

“I see a red sash I kill the man wearin it!”

Tombstone is easily one of the most quoteable movies ever made…. Second maybe to Return of the Jedi…

“The Emperor does not share you optimistic appraisal of the situation….”

“Goddamn! It’s like I’m playing cards with my brother’s kids, or something.” (just before being bitch-slapped). I still say that, occasionally.

#14 – Honorable mention to Eighteen Again?

#19 – Don’t feel special. We never heard from any other fans that Urban’s gimmicks would never work in the SEC, or that Tebow was a glorified fullback who would never succeed as a starter, blah blah blah. It’s normal off-season idiocy. There is evidence, though, that the SEC has proven to be a tough place to learn on the job, see [Name Redacted], Corch.

Hey Z at #23….Dern’s manness only extends to his role at Rumsfeld in the ‘Burbs. “A soldier’s way, saves the day!”

My favorite…”You tell them I’m coming…and hell’s coming with me!! Hell’s coming with me!”

As an honorble mention. “It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds”

spartymike:

Also, Charlton Heston. Any movie that gets Heston to just show up for 30 seconds and be gruff, that’s a mansome movie.

Pure weasel, best epitomized in “Smile” as the sleazy SoCal RV dealer. Which has me thinking how hot Annette O’Toole was way back when.

@23

Bruce Dern? True Man meter?

I think you meant weasel-o-meter.

Why Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave.
If you don’t think Val Kilmer wasn’t the best Doc Holliday you are clearly bat shit crazy.

Curly Bill: “Well… bye”

Video could have used more of the Freek’s touch, but point was well-taken. TS had more great lines, more all-around tough guys, than any western I can remember. Michael Biehn’s portrayal of Johnny Ringo and Powers Boothe’s creepy Curly Bill Brocius are memorable. Just which college football coaches channel the redoubtable Brocius and Ringo? Mike Leach gets my vote for one of those roles.

Orson and co.,
Thank you for the work you do everyday.

3 lines in succession with the same meaning:
Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens.
I said throw down, boy.
Are you gonna do something or just stand there and bleed?

Genius.

Much like a previous discussion about Bill Paxton on this site, the inclusion of Sam Elliot makes anything gold. See: Big Lebowski, Tombstone, Roadhouse, When We Were Soldiers. He is outranked on the True Man meter by only John Wayne and Bruce Dern.

Yes, well this happens to be a Nocturne.
A which?
You know, Frederic fucking Chopin.
