Best movie ever made 
2008-10-06
Prior to Lonesome Dove, Gone With The Wind was my favorite movie. But my favorite now is Lonesome Dove. It is well written, produced, directed, edited, and the music is so fantastic!
L.D. probably has more memorable one-liners than any movie ever made. And I am glad it was made as a mini-series rather than a movie, because we get six hours of enjoyment, which is three or four times more than if it were released in theaters. I cannot heap too much praise on this classic . . .
lonesome dove - blu-ray 2008-10-03
My all-time favorite movie series. I started with vhs format to dvd and now on Blu-Ray. It makes viewing the best you could ask for. Duvall & Jones paired together in this series have no equal. The closet second would be Duvall & Costner in Open Range.
Great Western 2008-09-19
This is, without a doubt, the best western ever made. Two of our greatest actors brought together and it is a perfect fit. I would recommend this to anyone without hesitation.
Robert Duvall 2008-09-18
R.D. has reached the point in his career where he portrays himself in movies and he is wonderful in this miniseries.He just gets better.Same for Tommy Lee Jones.This western epitomises the careers of these two men.
Third installment of a trilogy. Don't miss it! 2008-09-11
Back in the 1840's the State Texas was known as the Texas Republic, a harsh environment where several cultures clashed: Apache and Comanche, Anglos and Hispanics, for the most part, Mexicans. The battle over land, water and resources was furious, the spirit of these men as they set out to conquer, indomitable. The Texas Rangers were members of a law enforcement agency that investigated crimes from murder to political corruption, tracking fugitives and forging most important events in Texas history.
In their early days, the Texas Rangers protected the frontier against Indian attacks on settlers, then serving as scouts, spies, couriers, and guides for those wishing to settle in the West. These men were trained to aim, fire and reload their weapons from horseback, an amazing development from the usual technique of dismounting before shooting at enemies and reloading.
We now see Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones star as Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call. In this last installment, the cowboys are much older but still want adventure in their lives, so they set out to drive cattle to Montana, for 2,500 miles.
They steal cattle from a gang of Mexican cattle rustlers and it is quite fun to witness how it gets done. Robert Urich plays the part of Jake Spoon, a Ranger who used to help the prostitute that gave a son to Woodrow Call. But he has changed and we soon see him involved with a local prostitute, played by Diane Lane. He is not good to her and gets involved with a gang of murderers that bring him dishonor and death.
The cattle drive is fascinating, we learn much about how to survive in the west, where to cross rivers, and what to avoid. The scenery is beautiful and the performances are outstanding. Angelica Huston plays the role of Clara. Don't miss it.
Excellent movie!

Best version yet for Lonesome Dove fans 2008-09-07
The conversion to HD isn't perfect - some of the dark scenes are grainy but overall I'm very happy with it - and would highly recommend it to all Lonesome Dove fans.
"Dove" finally given proper treatment 2008-09-07
Long overdue, "Lonesome Dove" finally gets some respect. Watching the prior version on DVD was akin to looking at a masterpiece of art with the sides ripped off, and the remainder of the canvas smeared with vaseline. It was a most disappointing experiance. No More. This version is razor sharp, and provides a "first time" experiance. The sunset over the Rio Grande as the Hat Creek boys head to Mexico for some cattle, the Llano, where Gus determines the accurate range of his Winchester; these and other scenes now accurately rendered reinforce the sound argument this is one of the top five westerns ever filmed, and unarguably the best TV miniseries ever produced. Simply put, this long overdue remaster brings out the best in the best. A must for any collection.
Lonesome Dove 2008-09-07
Probably the most entertaining Westerns for TV of all time.
Seeing it on Widescreen and surround sound made it evern more
exciting!
Lonesome Dove 2008-09-03
I love the video, but the first DVD you sent did not work. It took talking to two different CS reps to get it straight, but eventually Amazon wound up doing the right thing. Thank you Amazon!
