My favorite Western is Broken Lance starring Spencer Tracy, Richard Be Still My Heart Widmark, and a baby Robert Wagner. My favorite cowboy is Heath (Lee Majors) from The Big Valley. Best of luck with the new book, ladies.
ReplyDeleteLove the Big Valley, as you know! Broken Lance was a good movie!! But my favorite Widmark western was The Alamo with John Wayne.
DeleteI love to watch Tombstone and Dances with Wolves.
ReplyDeleteTombstone is fantastic!!! Val Kilmer as Holliday was spectacular, and Kurt Russell looks so much like the real Wyatt Earp! And who doesn't love Sam Elliot. :D
DeleteLove the musical, Severn Brides for Seven Brothers. As for western Tombstone, I think is my favorite. There haven't been too many western that I haven't liked. Especially all of the older ones! My favorite cowboy? Hmmm, Sam Elliot is right up there at the top! :)
ReplyDeleteSam Elliot...I could listen to that gravelly voice all day! Swoon! :)
DeleteYes, that voice. I could listen to it 24/7. Of course, he isn't too bad looking either! :)
DeleteI got to thinking about t.v.shows. The Big Valley and Ponderosa were wonderful. As for more movies? Anything with John Wayne. Love the older stuff. I think that's why on love all of the books y'all write, because they really make me feel like I live in that era.
Delete:) That's high praise! Thank you!!!
DeleteI really enjoyed the tv show The Virginian. Do much action, so much drama. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Trampas...don't forget Trampas! :D
DeleteI really liked watching The Lone Ranger with my grandpa when I was little. Can't wait to read this collection!
ReplyDeleteWe used to watch The Lone Ranger and The Cisco Kid on Saturday mornings. I loved Tonto's horse Scout.
DeleteI remember watching Westward the Women with my mother. Robert Taylor was cute in my eyes, and a hero to the women.
ReplyDeleteRobert Taylor was so handsome!! I remember seeing Westward the Women, but I don't remember much else about it. I'll have to see if I can find it somewhere.
DeleteOur family favorite is the movie Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! I love almost all western and cowboy movies. Another favorite is Maverick. :)
ReplyDeleteThe old Maverick with James Garner or the new one with Mel Gibson? Either work for me!
DeleteDidn't think of that - I was picturing the new one, but both work!!
DeleteMy favorite cowboy movie is Shane with Alan Ladd!
ReplyDeleteMy son and I watched Shane for a Movies at Literature class when I was homeschooling. It's a powerful film!
DeleteI love Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Saw it again just recently. I also love McClintock with John Wayne, Maureen O´Hara, Patrick Wayne and Stephanie Powers. What a fun romp!!!!
ReplyDeleteMcClintock!!! So funny! Especially the final scenes. They must've had so much fun filming the chase through town and the water trough and all!
DeleteOh, how can I choose! So many that are just great! The Cowboy's, Son's of Katie Elder, The Searchers, Big Jake, Stagecoach...anything John Wayne!!
ReplyDeleteYou've been peeking at my DVD shelf...I have about 50 John Wayne movies, and I'm always on the lookout for another good one. My favorites of his westerns are El Dorado and Rio Bravo. :)
DeleteOh, how can I choose! So many that are just great! The Cowboy's, Son's of Katie Elder, The Searchers, Big Jake, Stagecoach...anything John Wayne!!
ReplyDeleteI am sure this is a great book just looking at who some of the authors are and knowing they can sweep you away in their stories. I have not gotten a chance to read it yet but from what I have seen its on my list of wants Melody Estus
ReplyDeleteHey, Melody! Thanks for your kind words! Do you have a favorite western/cowboy movie?
DeleteRio Bravo! Can't wait to read 7 Brides for 7 Texans.
ReplyDeleteRio Bravo is one of my favorites!!!
DeleteI can't think of one particular western movie; it's been while since I've watched any. I do like John Wayne's westerns. I remember watching The Lone Ranger at grandma's after school.
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with John Wayne OR the Lone Ranger!
DeleteI love a lot of western movies but the recent Lone Ranger movie satisfied my need for great western in beautiful settings strong male characters, cowboys, Indians, post Civil War horses, trains And great humor
ReplyDeleteOh, I haven't seen that one. Johnny Depp looked so...Depp-ish as Tonto.
DeleteCan I give a TV show instead? I'm not sure I watched all that many movies, though I recall Shane. But BONANZA, oh I lived for BONANZA when I was a kid. I know everyone loves Little Joe, but my heart was stolen by Adam.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new book! It sounds like so much fun and it's written by so many of my favorite authors! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Great minds!!! Adam was my favorite Cartwright, too! Though as a little girl, I was afraid of Ben Cartwright...his voice was so deep and stern!
DeleteI really like Magnificent Seven (haven't seen the new one, yet), Tombstone or Ledgends of the Fall. Hard to pick a fave! If it's a western/cowboy movie, I have seen it! My husband is a wee bit obsessed! Ha!!
ReplyDeleteI saw the new Mag. 7, and it's really good. I didn't see parts of it coming, that's for sure!
DeleteTwo mules for Sister Sarah, or anything else Clint Eastwood.
ReplyDeleteThat is a funny movie! I think The Outlaw Josey Wales is my favorite Clint Eastwood western. :)
DeleteYes! What Cate Nolan said about Adam Cartwright! He was the one I tuned in to watch on Bonanza. Oooh-la-la!!! I'm not much of a western movie goer, but I do like Jimmy Stewart. And Harrison Ford in Cowboys & Aliens! Because, you know, it's Harrison Ford. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the premise of this collection and can't wait to read these exciting stories! Always love watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, too!
LOL, I did not see Cowboys and Aliens...but Jimmy Stewart...Shanandoah makes me cry every time!!!
DeleteI'm a big Marion Morrison fan. I'm so glad he changed his name ;) El Dorado is one of our family favorites. Young James Caan was great as Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteMy kids couldn't believe that James Caan from El Dorado (I made them watch it a LOT of times) was Danny from the new Hawaii 5-0's Dad. :)
DeleteMichael Landon as little joe on Bonanza! WOULD LOVE TO WIN THE NOVELLA SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN TEXANS! also the sackett brothers movies!
ReplyDeleteLove the Sackett movie and The Shadow Riders. Tom Selleck makes a nice cowboy, and whooo, Sam Elliot. :)
DeleteCalamity Jane!!! Love Doris Day and Howard Keel together! But really, there are just too many to choose from!
ReplyDeleteI love the song "Secret Love" from that movie..and Howard Keel...what a voice. I love him in 7 Brides and also Kiss Me, Kate.
DeleteFavorite is all the shows from Gunsmoke. What a nice looking sheriff.
ReplyDeleteHe was a nice looking sheriff! :)
Deletei don't watch western movies but I loved little joe on the bonanza and adam on the big valley
ReplyDeleteLittle Joe...I'll confess I liked Michael Landon better as Pa Ingalls, and Adam was my favorite. :)
DeleteThe Cowboys.. John Wayne, makes me cry every time!
ReplyDeleteThat is so true! A Martinez was fantastic in that movie, and so young!
DeleteI agree with Tammi--the cowboys on Bonanza! I know that the new book 7 Brides for 7 Texans will be a good read. Hope I win!
ReplyDeleteNow the Bonanza theme song is now running through my head! :)
Delete2 Mules for sister sarah or anything w/ Clint Eastwood!
ReplyDeleteI prefer his earlier works...the spaghetti westerns...to later works like Pale Rider or Unforgiven, but Clint Eastwood makes a great cowboy. :)
Delete"Giant" ~ https://youtu.be/-n9p6qb7kKI
ReplyDeleteOOOOooo! I love Giant, both the movie and the book! James Dean was fantastic in the movie!
DeleteWhen I was young I liked Michael Landon in Bonanza. When I got older I liked Clint Eastwood and John Wayne.
ReplyDeleteLove the Duke! :)
DeleteI don't watch movies much but did like Bonanza like so many other people! jarning67(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI loved Saturday mornings when I was a kid, because instead of cartoons, I watched westerns, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Big Valley, The Rifleman. :) Bonanza was a favorite in our house.
DeleteMy fave westerns were the TV shows I watched years ago: Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, The Cisco Kid and Poncho, Hopalong Cassidy, Bonanza. Can't wait to read 'Seven Brides For Seven Texans' - thanks for the giveaway opportunity!!
ReplyDeleteRoy Rogers! I loved Dale's horse Buttermilk. Happy Trails! :)
DeleteI loved Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, that's as Western as I get, oh and the Love Comes Softly Series! I'm not much on Westerns but I love reading Christian ones.
ReplyDeleteI read this through Netgalley and I loved each story!! Each brother worked their way into my heart!
If I won, I prefer an ebook.
Thanks and congratulations on the newest book, ladies! You did a fabulous job!!
I have Dr. Quinn on DVD...I'm working my way through the seasons. So much to love!

ReplyDeleteI really liked Rio Bravo because it not only had John Wayne but also Rick Nelson. I had watched him on Ozzie and Harriet and listened to all of his records. Of course, I watched all of the tv western with my Dad.
ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled to win this collection!
Don't you love the scene where Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson sing? Sigh.
DeleteMy favorite western movie is The Far Country with Jimmy Stewart. Love how his cowboys are always interesting characters. Thank you for the chance to win this new book! Looks like a good one!
ReplyDeleteOoo, that's a great one, too! I have that on DVD. :)
DeleteIs it horrible that I'm not that big of a western movie watcher but sooooo love western books lol!!!
