This is a film that no matter what time of day, no matter how far into the film it happens to be, I have to watch.

[@yourebusted5786]

"Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy" One of the greatest lines in Westerns

[@mikejames8031]

The Outlaw Josie Wales is def. a top 5 westerns!!

[@BigGator5]

"I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas, I bet." Lone Watie (Chief Dan George) is my favorite character. The guy is a riot and a half. This movie has received high praise among Indian viewers for its non-stereotypical portrayal of Indians. Fun Fact: Based on the book "The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales" by Forrest Carter. According to legend, is based on the life of Thomas Atticus Hawkins, a Missouri farmer from Maries County.

[@darthroden]

Chief Dan George as Lone Waite, was the heart of this movie. He had the best one-liners and dry humor. Perfectly fit with Clint Eastwood's character. Plus it was good to see a Western film that didn't portray Native Americans and Plains Indians as one-dimensional stereotypes. Waite, Moonlight, and Ten Bears were all treated with respect as characters. Well done.

[@BigJohnLXV]

if I ever met Clint, I'd simply want to shake his hand, and thank him for the great movies he's given us to enjoy

[@ericwillison1389]

This is one of the three best Westerns of all time. How the one guy gave it only three and half stars out of five isn't readily understandable.

[@majormoviemadness9927]

Agree

[@TJClark-sw2yz]

Thanks for doing this one. One of my all time favourites. I always liked how Josey is supposed to be a loner bad ass but he keeps accumulating misfit friends who become a family.

[@1ofLouisBoys]

The great thing about Chief Dan George's performance is the was the first accurate portrayal of Native people on film. That's thanks to Clint just telling him what he wanted him to talk about in the scene and let Chief Dan just told it in his own way. Another great performance of his worth reacting to is as Old Lodge Skins in Little Big Man.

[@cavecookie1]

This has been one of my favorites since the first time I saw it, back when it first came out. The scene with Josey and Ten Bears gives me chills every time I see it. I love the line near the end "I guess we all died a little in that damned war."

[@jimtatro6550]

This is one of the best westerns ever!!! “It can do most anything !” (spits) “How’s it on stains?” 😂😂😂

[@chrispittman8854]

What's REALLY cool about the described visit to Washington(and Baltimore) is that "Lone Watie" is describing Red Cloud's visit. Red Cloud saw the cannon foundries in Baltimore and said, "That's it. We're done." He was pretty brilliant.

[@daveburns3886]

One of my favorite movies and I’m not a Clint or western fan… meeting with ten bears is one of best scenes ever

[@artguti1551]

He says "Not Strongly Written"... But Compared to Other Westerns...This is One of the Best!!!

[@chrispittman8854]

It's amazing how few reactions there are to this movie. One of his best. The flipped revolvers alone... "Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick."

[@majormoviemadness9927]

Thanks

[@anthonykelly1368]

If you pay attention to the dialogue, you learn that Granny's son and Laura Lee's father, Tom Turner, was one of the Kansas Redlegs that killed Josey's family and who he subsequently fought in the guerilla war in Kansas/Missouri. It's heavily implied that Josey himself is the one that killed Tom Turner, and Tom Turner was one of the men who killed Josey's family. So, Josey loses his family to Redlegs, like Tom Turner....probably actually kills Tom Turner (Laura Lee's father) himself....and yet, becomes a second family and protector of Tom's family. It's a really deep movie, if you pay attention to the dialogue and look past the surface level action. Also, a whole 'nother layer to the onion is if you understand the significance of the Commanches-who they were and how significant and ferocious they were in fighting westward expansion from the eastern US and against northward pressure from Mexico. Commanches were not "an" Indian tribe. They were "the" Indian tribe. Not since King Philip's War in the 1670's had a single Indian tribe come so close to nearly defeating expansion into their territory.

[@majormoviemadness9927]

Yeah she says it in the shop

[@paulbentley1705]

Comanche Indians were hands down the most fierce of all the tribes.

[@BALDAR222]

My absolute favorite western. With a lot of personal nostalgic memories attached. My Father (who's gone now) and I would watch it together; when ever we got the chance.

[@craigwiggins253]

Love this movie. Seen it at least 20 times and could watch it again. I thought this was written and directed very well.

K. I only looked at this reaction because I love Josie Wales and the length of the video. You guys nailed the editing …. Didn’t miss anything significant, had the perfect length of relevant scenes. Cudos….time to explore the channel !

[@rammannawar1626]

There’s nothing in this movie that’s my favorite part it’s great all the way through, he also used guns from his collection in his movies.

[@zunbake3]

This was an ingenious deep dive into the aftermath of the Civil War and a great metaphor to the Vietnam War.

[@barryscott8041]

9:55 "First of all, keep the horse!" Good GOD. He's trying to give his partner a decent burial. Which means you weren't listening, or even paying attention.

[@joemummerth8340]

everyone recognized him because his picture was on wanted posters scattered everywhere ! that little trick with the revolvers , where he`s holding them grip towards the others and spins them around to shoot ! easier than it looks , took me a few minutes to figure out just how it was done , and not a lot of practice to get good at it ! this is one of my favorite westerns !

[@missk8tie]

Clint Eastwood does have great lines, but my favorite line is from Fletcher - "don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining"

[@kurtb8474]

I was a commercial producer for Comcast in the Sacramento area about 15 years ago. We hired a grip for a shoot for a local business. He told us he was hired to be a driver for the cast of this movie (which was shot about 30 - 50 miles from where I live now). One morning, he drove Clint up to the Feather River canyon, which is a pretty spectacular location. He stopped the car and Clint got out. He told the guy to drive 10 miles up the road and wait for him. Then he started to jog. Next he was told to drive to San Francisco airport to pick up Sondra Locke. It was about a 2-hour drive one way. As they drove back to the location, he said it was the longest 2 hours of his life. He described her as loony. Constantly complaining about everything.

[@majormoviemadness9927]

one of my favorite westerns. I saw this movie in the show hall when I was a kid. Chief Dan George was famous to me before this movie came out, he would make appearances at rodeos in the aria where we lived. It was great, as kids after this movie, we could actually say that we knew a movie star. silly I know but we felt proud.

[@TwistedSither]

Great Western! Chief Dan George cracks me up. He has some of the funniest lines I've ever heard in an Eastwood film.

The scene with 10 Bears is one of the most powerful scenes Ive witnessed. I use qoutes from this movie all the time. Dont piss down my back being the most used.I feel he was doing his utmost best to leave, the war he never wanted ,behind but it just wouldnt leave him alone. I give it 5.5 spits! Great job guys!

I'm a thinkin' Josie got something like 4 or 5 revolvers. That way he don't have to reload during a fight. And when he smokes those white renegades (the 'commancheros') at 16:33, it's not a surprise. He's been fighting on horseback for years. Those goons are probably just able to beat up on unarmed travelers. Anyway, it's been said that the same actors who played the commancheros also played the 'Black Widows' motorcycle gang in 'Every which way but loose'.

[@coolerking7427]

Actually its based on Jesse James. He was too Young to join the regular Confederate Army. He instead joined Confederate Bushwhackers fighting the war mostly in Missouri and Kansas. Bill Quantrill had another Confederate group also in that area.

You kept saying throughout this movie that Clint and Sondra Locke were married..I'll assume by now you've learned that they were never married,. They only had a "domestic partnership". Clint was still married to his wife during his relationship with Sondra. Sondra became pregnant twice by Clint. Both pregnancies were terminated

Arthur Penn’s Little Big Man is an awesome 70s western/anti-western, with another stellar performance from Chief Dan George. Altman’s McCabe and Mrs Miller is divisive, but I think it’s a great western too, neither of them are westerns in the traditional John Ford sense, but great films nonetheless. I also thought Kevin Costner did a bang up job making a more traditional western with Open Range.

My dad taught returning Vietnam vets from 1975-77 during the time we spent in the US having emigrated from the UK ('75 and '81). Most of the them were fine but a few were certainly not OK. He told me a story about a time he regretted: he - insensitively he believes to this day - gave some negative feedback on one of his student's papers. Said student pulled a knife on him. Fortunately, others in the group who liked his teaching protected him. Interestingly (so he told me) the student who pulled the knife was white and the students who protected him were African American, although this did not seem especially relevant to him at the time being, as he was, young, liberal and British. 45 years on, my students do not pull knives on me if I fail them. They just sue!
