Lonesome Dove More Classic Scenes

This is a follow up video to a previous one I did featuring classic scenes from Lonesome Dove. I hope you enjoy these unforgettable scenes from the terrific western TV mini series.

[@ralphcrosby9622]

I have watched this so many times. I can fall asleep, for a short nap. When I wake I know the next line, regardless of who is next to speak.

[@Johnat709]

That book/series was Amazing. Brought life to the prarie. Lonesome Dove is the reason I have a grandson named Augustus....

[@RWildekrav66]

Duval , one of my favorite actors in westerns , a natural

[@kevinconville3199]

Lonesome Dove was, and forever will be be the best western of all time!

[@historymore442]

I agree Kevin.

[@richardjohnson7091]

Without a doubt one of the greatest westerns ever

[@sammylacks4937]

Anyone that likes Westerns and have not seen Lonesome Dove have in my opinion missed the best Western ever made. The only thing I disagreed with and if I had been Gus I'd never let Clare slip from my hand nor sight. She was without a doubt the most beautiful and desirable woman I've ever seen. Neither man nor beast could have ran me from Ogallala long as she was there. By God Id marry her myself if possible. As long as Clare was there , Id go no where I swear. ❤❤

[@terrywhitsitt6940]

This movie is my favorite of all time. They picked the right actors for it.

[@historymore442]

Yep Terry. The casting was superb. Thanks for watching the video.

[@ralphstamm4456]

You got that right

[@redriders7149]

When my wife and i were dating back in the fall of 2004. We sat at her parents house and watched this one day. It was instantly my favorite of all time. Well not instantly...its a long movie. But the whole way through i was just glued to the TV. I grew up watching Westerns with my grandpa, in my early years sitting on his lap and watching them. Eastwood, and Wayne were my heros as a young boy. Lol.."biscuts and whores" as Augustus would say...good day boys and girls and thank you for what you do with these videos sir!! THANK YOU

[@johnmenard484]

1 best movies ever made blackmail 1 bishopwood play smooth play good together

[@jrsands]

The acting of Robert Duval & Tommy Lee Jones in Lonesome Dove is only rivaled by the performance of Val Kilmer in Tombstone.

[@historymore442]

All superb Jim. Thanks for watching.

[@henrymagby3665]

Great movie, I felt like I knew Gus and Woodrow. It was sad to see Jake go, but he died very well.

[@pkmatt3]

rhese westerns are a hoot. I find myself learning every time i watch Mr. Duvall and also love open range

[@historymore442]

Great films.

[@BillRau2152]

I loved both of those characters. I cried when I first saw this part and I’m crying now … in sadness for Augustus’ death and in happiness seeing Woodrow’s loyalty to his friend. What great acting.

[@patricialenoir7258]

I love this movie. It’s one of the best westerns ever made. A classic !

[@ronaldhirsch8968]

This is the best western ever made. The writing is superb and the acting is simply extraordinary. My favorite by a Texas mile. An american classic

[@historymore442]

Couldn't agree more Ronald. Thanks for watching the video.

[@JOEBURNES2006]

Yes I loved that movie and book.

[@raysmusic49]

Absolutely

[@jbarcelona4]

Agree!!

[@nashrutledge9082]

The best Western ever, you believe that's the way it was back then, that whole movie was star packed

[@sonofawil]

It was just amazing how Robert Duvall brought Gus McRae to life. It made Larry McMurtry’s story so much more impactful and anchored all the other performances. Some other actors were right-on and some don’t quite hit the mark for anyone who started with the book, but, because they were playing off the perfect Gus, it was magical.

[@historymore442]

Well said.

[@bigblue6917]

Two truly excellent actors who were part of an excellent ensemble of excellent actors. The reason why it is still so highly regarded.

[@historymore442]

Yep Big Blue. Spot on as usual.

[@eddieray1344]

Now these were real men,the world needs men like this especially today because of all the rude behavior in folks

[@norbertogandara17]

Lonesome Dove IMO is the best Western ever made.

[@historymore442]

There are many people who agree with you Norbero, including me. Thanks for watching the video.

[@redriders7149]

Yes, i agree. There are many good ones, but Lonesome Dove does really stand by its self.

[@ballaservices9275]

The tv series was one of the few adaptations that was worthy of the novel it was based on. The McMurtry novel was by far and away the best Western I have ever read, and I was sure the televised version wouldn't live up to it, but it did. And that because of Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall. They fitted their roles impossibly well, and are such great actors. What a book. What a series.

[@historymore442]

I am in complete agreement Balla Services. Book and film were both top notch. Thanks for watching the video.

[@MDHCOWBOYS]

We are blessed to have these two fine actors during our lifetime.

[@historymore442]

I agree. Thanks for watching the video.

[@davidrosenau3136]

A CLASSIC TO BE SURE.

[@jamesmason8147]

Best Western ever made hands down

[@historymore442]

I totally agree James.

[@mikewitcombe6507]

Huge fan of this epic movie. One of my favorite scenes is Gus is pinned down by those idiot bandits in the middle of nowhere and one of em gets to dancing and Gus puts one in his gut. Nice shot Gus!!! 👌👌😂😂👌👌

[@historymore442]

If you haven't watched my other video called "Lonesome Dove 5 Classic Scenes" you might want to check it out. It has that scene in it. Thanks for viewing this video.

[@mikewitcombe6507]

@@historymore442 Thanks!!

[@michaelkrick9524]

I watched it on TV all of those years ago and I enjoy it even more now than I did then. It's a classic that only improves with age and I doubt that we'll ever see it's equal. Thanks for brightening my day.

[@historymore442]

Yeah Michael LD never gets old. Thanks for watching the video.

[@cliffright1142]

Of all the western movies made, Lonesome Dove is my favorite. Thanks for the clips.

[@robertferguson533]

I was going to Virginia Tech when this first aired. My roommates had the sense to tape the entire series.Watched it so many times I had it memorized and I’ve still got it memorized even to this day

[@historymore442]

Great story Robert. Thanks for watching the video and Go Hokies.

[@dancummings891]

One of the greatest compliments I ever had from someone was when my son’s friends told me that I acted like Gus and Cal reminded him of his dad.

[@jearlenenunn7015]

THEY CAN'T MAKE A WESTERN BETTER THIS....MY ALL TIME FAVORITE.

[@historymore442]

Agree 100% Jearlene. Thanks for watching.

[@rickjennings5241]

They just don’t make classics like this anymore! One of the all time greats!

[@michaellong9799]

Gus and Call weren’t p.c. enough for today. Best movie ever.

[@robertstotesbury8005]

I love the scene where Agustus ranges the dancing chicken and shoots him through the chest!

[@historymore442]

Yeah good scene Robert.

[@BigBalls-jd5jf]

I’ve watched this so many times I’ve lost count and I’ll still watch it again, poor Gus lying in bed has to one of the most touching seens ever 😢

[@chuckmasters781]

Robert Duvall is hands down an actor that brings reality to whatever movie or character he plays.I believe. He can sell me on any roll he plays. from the godfather.to the surfing officer in appoc Now.His body of work got even bigger after lonesome dove.all the westerns since. he was so freaking good in the latest movie,the judge.Robert downey jr.was also so fantastic.That was a verry well acted and complete movie. I would love to see him,and clint eastwood,live to be 110.I truly believe that this country is a better place because of them.He has a gift.He can for two hours at a time distract me. he is a true artist.

[@historymore442]

Totally agree Chuck.

[@Brent-ph1ni]

One off the best westerns made we need more

[@35t10b]

One of the few movies that i liked as much as the book. When the movie came out i was completely surprised how great it was

[@howardmielcarski6683]

Seeing these clips you show makes me want to break out the series and watch it again and again

[@historymore442]

It never gets old does it Howard? Thanks for watching the video.

[@howardmielcarski6683]

@@historymore442 I have read all of McMurty's novels on the Lonesome Dove Saga. Good stuff. I even watch Return to Lonesome Dove even tho it wasn't part of the authors books.

[@howardmielcarski6683]

Have you ever thought about showing clips from the other 3 parts of the series?

[@MrPoetnscribe]

I love both of these actors. They always portray men's men. Lonesome Dove was one of those mini series that you could get do lost in, when it was over, you felt like you'd lost a friend!

[@historymore442]

Great actors, great roles, great film. Thanks for watching the video Bill.

[@daleshipman7139]

Their is no other "Western" and I mean this. I read the book first, my older brother had sent it to me and then I read it again. It was so very good. I watched the show for the first time, went thru to many boxes of tissues. Bought the CD and listen to it while traveling on long trips. I still find my self watching this show. Couldn't tell you how many times, know most of the lines. But still, THE best ever "Western". That's the way it is.

[@pismodoug1321]

Very special, in so many ways, moved me as much as Shogun.

[@TBullCajunbreadmaker]

I knew that there was a movie and it had just recently come out, but I stumbled upon the book and read the book before watching the movie. It was an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. It was the most mesmerizing experience of entertainment that I have ever had in my whole life. The book was a really good read and had all of the action, reality of the time and there was a great deal of humor and education of humanity in it's content. The movie was a complete transformation of the long story. It was truly a story come to life and the characters that were portrayed were truly as realistic as you could possibly accomplish. If you have seen the movie you should read the book, it gives you another chance to enjoy such a great and wonderful story. The best western novel and movie I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying.

[@historymore442]

Well said Tbull

[@gavinheron1]

Many thanks. Loved the book and the film. The dying scene brings a tear every time.

[@martymcmannis8662]

Playing someone who died in their performance means a lot. Duvall did a great job. But in my opinion the open range speech was even better. Or could have been the character he was playing, is what I loved. Thanks for more Jones and Duvall

[@historymore442]

I love Duvall's acting. Thanks for watching Marty.

[@jimmyonus5478]

I watched this movie when it came out and it was the best western that I've ever seen,last father's day my daughter rang me and asked me what I wanted for father's day,i replied,the movie lonesome dove,she sent me,lonesome dove the ultimate collection,lonesome dove,return to lonesome dove,Comanche moon,deadmans walk and streets of Laredo,so I'm pretty stoked.

[@historymore442]

You obviously have a fantastic daughter Jimmy. Kudos to her for the great fathers day gift. Thanks for watching the video.

[@iancaen2977]

Arguably the best western ever made.

This is the movie we watch over and over. Its a reminder of when life made sense. There isn't much about modern life I understand anymore.

[@charlescoleman5994]

It was a shame that a scene that was in the book could not be included in the movie series and that was the scene where the bull and the grizzly bear had the fight. Still I consider Lonesome Dove the greatest movie ever made and had it been released as a movie it would have won the Academy Award and It should have won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

Great Great film Charles. Thanks for watching the video.

Watched this series when it came out and enjoyed it just as I loved the book. I really got to appreciate it living with my 90 something mom her last years.
