Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

He was great as Pat Garrett in

Peckinpah's western "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid." Critics killed that movie but I think it's a classic, if revisionist, western. Great performances by Coburn, Kristofferson, and Paul Fix. It also had wonderful - almost career summing - performances by two of the best character actors in the history of Hollywood: Slim Pickens and Katy Jurado.

Speaking of Katy Jurado.....she recently passed away yet I read not a single word of appreciation or even a mention of her on this forum. I admit to being just as guily as the rest of this crew. Anyway, here was one of the great Latina actresses who had a fine Hollywood career playing real women instead of stereotypes. Did she not receive an Oscar nod for "High Noon"? She was a gifted actress, the quality of which is too rare these days.
