Absolutely!
My wife and I flew out to LA with friends of ours. I think it was about 15 or more years ago. He is crazy about golf, so we had to go to Pebble Beach. It just so happened they were hosting one of the bigger tournaments that was sponsored by AT&T. When we walked back towards the clubhouse, I saw a practice putting area. Practicing there was a man with about 10 balls lined up and he was trying to putt the balls into the cup one at a time.
My friend said “That’s the shark.” I asked him what was his real name. He kind of laughed and said it was Greg Norman. That name I knew. We stood there for a few minutes and then headed for the clubhouse because he wanted to buy a few mementos for him and his one son that also golf’s a lot.
As I opened the door to go in, I must have had good timing because waiting to exit was Clint Eastwood and Jack Nicklaus. I said Hi to them and they returned the greeting. It didn’t dawn on me at first who they were until about 10 seconds later.
Believe me, it is a genuine masterpiece.

Definitely "Quigley Down Under". Tom Selleck is a very good actor, but Laura San Giacomo did an excellent job in her role. I was going to comment on her appearance in the dresses she wore , but then I thought better of it.
Love that movie as well. Especially the part where Quigley throws that dude out of his own home after he offers to hire him to sniper aborigines.
Of those you mentioned I watched Dances with Wolves and Tombstone starring Kurt Russell . Both fascinating movies.
Interested in your opinion about her dresses, but if you wish to refrain from being specific, there must be a good reason.
I liked the way that they kept the identity of the Pale Rider hidden until the very end and only hinted at it.
Funny how they portray Custer's reason for rejecting Little Big Man's advice against attacking the village, by showing him as being suspicious that Little Big Man was trying to protect the village from his attack.

Great acting by the guy who played Custer. 
Three parts that I found especially memorable in the Magnificent SevenI only have two. The Magnificent Seven, and Evil Roy Slade, a cult classic comedy western starring John Astin.
1, The cavalry trampling on villagers heads protruding from the soil.
2. The advice Macqueen gives a young member to treat females very gently. 3. The swift knife-thrower scene.

I was trying to insinuate that I was not being sexist for noticing that her dresses were somewhat revealing.
Even though I was probably being sexist for noticing. I know, I know, I'm bad.Not sexist nor bad at all. As males, we are hardwired to react to the way women dress, especially if their indumenta is revealing.I was trying to insinuate that I was not being sexist for noticing that her dresses were somewhat revealing.
