Quigley Down Under - Long Theme Mix

[@Clark42EoC]

Tom Selleck's best role and the best Western of the 90's imo. 160 years later and we still want to go back to this life. It's time.

[@GeoEstes]

A life that never really existed. Don't mistake Hollywood romanticism for reality. It wasn't all John Wayne and Quigley; it was a lot more Clint Eastwood. The 1800s are fun to play around with from a story-telling perspective, but it was a dirty, brutal life in many parts of the country.

[@Clark42EoC]

@@GeoEstes I'm well aware and I'd still prefer that.

[@GeoEstes]

@@Clark42EoC Fair enough. I does have a certain appeal.

[@mikkijohnson1838]

I have to tell y’all that my daddy died peacefully in his sleep at 89 years old in his big easy chair. Pop loved old western movies. John (the Duke) Wayne was close to God to my daddy. My precious daddy died in his easy chair at the age of 89 years old on the 4th of July watching Quigley Down Under. My brother told me it was his newest favorite Western. Mr. Tom Selleck should feel honored. I watch Quigley Down Under frequently and imagine that I’m watching it with my sweet daddy💕💞

[@mikkijohnson1838]

Sleepy ODST: Our daddy’s were the same💞

[@Clark42EoC]

I'm with you and your Dad.

[@23BEATNGU]

This movie is such a classic. Been watching it since I was 5. Quigley will straight up make you want to be a better man

[@rwcrusader406]

Same bro. A family favorite

[@karlaweiss9161]

AMEN!!!

[@cathyevans6194]

Well I don't think you know this but my actual name is Matthew Quigley

[@kawaiicake8038]

Same I remember it from when my dad watched it when I was little and I stayed to watch it but only remembered bits and pieces (like the dingos-in-the-cave part, him meeting/saving crazy Cora at the beginning,) but could not remember the name. So my dad also didn’t know what I was talking about when I tried to explain it and I found it on Netflix and I’m so fucking happy I could watch this movie for eternity tbh. I love the story, the pacing, the characters, the soundtrack - all of it. I feel like I’m fangirling over this rn but I really do love it so much.

[@jamesleon2770]

Same,used to watch it as a kid with ny grandpa..fond memories from Australia

[@armandsolana2423]

RIP Pops. Miss you like crazy, and the countless late nights we’d spend watching this movie on repeat. It’s crazy how much I can see the similarities between you and Mr. Matthew Quigley. All I can pray is that I’ll join you up there, one day, wrangling cattle and sharpshooting buckets at 200 yards. May your soul and heart rest in peace.

[@Clark42EoC]

Good Dad.

[@paulmcdonough1190]

It’s easy to think of movies such as The Magnificent Seven , True Grit , The Cowboys when you think of great westerns, while I love those movies I also loved this one, Tom Selleck was so good in this, the scene where he rides off then stops and turns to look at the woman is so good guy hero it gives you goosebumps. We need more of these movies today, no foul language, just a real feel good movie.

[@sargintrock2538]

Amen to that, Pard!

[@karlaweiss9161]

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! AS A WOMAN, IT MAKES ME WONDER WHERE ARE THE MEN LIKE MATHEW QUIGGLY???!!! YOU KNOW, THE QUIET, CAPABLE, STRONG, HEROES???!!!

[@chipthomas4169]

Didn't hurt having Allan Rickman, absolutely one of the best villains the movies ever saw.

[@jayfeder8217]

IS EVERYBODY DOWN here as butt ugly as you three? Great line! 🎉

[@jayfeder8217]

Now they're making TV SHOWS AND PLAYING POLICE COMMISSSIONERS. 😊STILL DON'T BE AT QUIGLEY: BUT THEN. NOTHING DOES 😊

[@larrystarnes809]

I wish Tom Selleck played in more westerns.

[@karlaweiss9161]

THERE ISN'T A BETTER ACTOR FOR A BETTER WESTERN!!! I LOVED SELLECK AND ELLIOTT TOGETHER TOO! I WISH THEY'D BOTH GET TOGETHER AGAIN AND DO MORE WESTERNS TOO!!! SEPARATELY OR TOGETHER; BOTH ARE GREAT!!! SOMEONE HAS TO REPLACE 'THE DUKE' AND IT'S EASILY ONE/BOTH OF THE MOUSTACHES!!!

[@slyspy9819]

I hear ya Larry , he is so good

[@pigletpiglet3632]

Try the sacketts or shadow riders

[@pigletpiglet3632]

The sacketts is great shadow riders is ok

[@rebekah7426]

I wish so too! This is my favorite western of all time! John Wayne is second. Crossfire Trail is pretty good with Selleck.

[@paulhindenberg6364]

Probably the one of the best "Western" theme music for motion pictures,that and Magnificent Seven,and cannot forget "High Noon"> but Quigley Down Under is the top one. Wish Tom Sellick had made a sequel or prequel . He has become one of the best actors in the last 40 years. Versatile and unmatched in any role .

[@certifiedad9737]

This music is beautiful!! My daughter called me weird. I love the movie, but I play it over and over just to listen to the music. That's how I fall asleep.

[@conanthebasset5792]

Simply two of my all-time favourites, the music and the movie it was composed for.

[@whataboutthepotatoes6085]

I just watched this in its entirety for the first time in my adult life. I saw bits and pieces as a kid. Having seen it now, I can't believe I waited this long. It's a great film.

[@davejay15]

I liked the ending where qigley is getting his ticket. There she is. The look on her face was love . Take me home. Thank you. It was a great movie.

[@borisfrlic]

Makes a man want to cry, it’s so beautiful.

[@sleepyodst9663]

I love this movie and apparently it was my poppes favorite western. I wish i could’ve watched it with him but by the time i got interested in westerns he passed. This movie has the best soundtrack I’ve ever heard in any movie I’ve watched

[@sleepyodst9663]

@@user-nh2bc8vo5ilove my Austrian brothers, i visited Salzburg last year and loved it! Your county is beautiful i just wish i could’ve visited more of it

[@Clark42EoC]

Speaking for your Dad...he would of liked that too.

[@davejay15]

When I hear violins and horns it just comes together for me. When I'm rolling along I94 west through pipestone pass or around butte anaconda mt . This music comes close to me. Pretty sure God loves this kind of music. Its majestic soul stirring uplifting. I could drive a thousand miles in one day while listening this kind of music.

[@paulmcdonough1190]

One of my favourite westerns ever, and can’t explain why a soundtrack as good as this just gives you goosebumps, the richness and power of an orchestra always makes me feel better when feeling bad.

[@FRANKO-iu3dx]

Being an aged person 72. The GREAT ESCAPE does the same for me, Magnificent Seven, Steve, Yul, Charles, Robert, James, Horst and Brad and of Couse Eli. is also up there.

[@terryeverhart4611]

The movie's theme was actually written by Elmer Bernstein for the John Wayne film "The Sons of Katie Elder", and Pouledaris blatantly plagiarized it. Watch "The Sons of Katie Elder" just once.

[@garyreid2178]

Basil Poledouris composed a mighty iconic score as big as Australia itself. Matthew Quigley, a stranger in a strange land, becomes just as big. God, I love this movie!😎

[@terryeverhart4611]

Pouledouris didn't write the theme and most of the score. He plagiarized it note for note from Elmer Bernstein's theme and soundtrack from "The Sons of Katie Elder". If John Williams has made a name for himself plagiarizing the classics, Pouledouris has made a name for himself plagiarizing Bernstein. When he came under fire for this, he said, "It's just bc I admire Bernstein so much." Kids get kicked out of college for plagiarizing a lot less.

[@valerienelson3291]

Great Down Under western. Don't know why it's not shown on TV more often. Love the soundtrack.

[@jeanpauljeanpaul2530]

[@Deadreconing66]

This is truly the best theme song ever and a hell of a great movie

[@jackrussell8654]

My favourite movie of all time. Love the theme song/ soundtrack. my favorite line's from the movie is , lady your about half a bubble off a plum and that's for sure and for certain.

[@dorothyvelthaus4867]

Yeah! but he did figure her out over ti;me.....

[@FreeByrd5050]

One of his BEST westerns and the theme music is fantastic

[@randalmassaro2868]

THIS THEME BRINGS BACK THE DAYS OF THE GOOD OLD FASHIONED WESTERNS WE ALL USED TO WATCH THAT HAD MEMORABLE MUSIC THAT YOU COULDNT FORGET, LIKE THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, BONANZA, THE RIFLEMAN, THE COMMANCHEROS, THE WILD BUNCH AND MANY OTHERS, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THEMES.

[@stephenmartini5890]

Definitely, one of my all-time favorite movies.,

[@615855]

Tom Selleck always is a standout in a western film. I have always thought that if they were to ever make a movie of the old TV series the Rifleman, Selleck would have been a great choice to play Lucas McCain. In fact it would be great to see some of the old TV westerns made into movies.

[@Netghost855]

IMO The greatest western made outside of the spaghetti and John Wayne era. And the theme could fit any adventure film.

[@jayfeder8217]

My daddy passed from a massive heart attack when he was 75.* and I just turned that age Daddy lived in Vegas a nd we w Ould call each other while watching Quigley and have a great time eating popcorn 2000 miles45 years since he left us.

I worked at Tumacacari National Historic Park in Arizona at 18. Rebuilding old adobe structures and doing various trail work...I'd fallen in love with this western years before and it played in my head as I worked. It still does to this day. Incredible irony in the names though.

[@davejay15]

I loved the movie. Wrote a paper on it when in collage. Got a B+. The professor had not seen the movie. The theme song is what I call big music. Reminds of montana. All of the old western shows of my childhood. High Chappell the Virginian. I could name a bunch more. Here's a weird thing yall listen to the theme song for the dating game. Done by Herb Albert Spanish flea. . Doesn t it have areas where it sounds like the Quigley theme. It s the horns I think.. Tom Selleck was on the dating game. I remember that one. I think I was like 10. This movie is one of the best western ever made in my estimation.

[@slyspy9819]

That's the greatest 2 minutes 6;50 to 8'50 , The banjo man is on fire , I salute you !

This theme is plagiarized from the theme from "The Sons of Katie Elder", written by Elmer Bernstein and starring John Wayne. The composer for the "Quigley" score, when John Wayne fans noticed, said that the plagiarism was bc he "admired" Bernstein so much.
