Equally impressive with the multitude of roles Mitchum had was the plethora of great directors you mentioned (some just starting, some well-established): Robert Wise, William A Wellman, Fred Zinnemann, Otto Preminger, Howard Hawks, Henry Hathaway to name a few. Fact I hadn't known: both of Robert's paternal grandparents were half-Blackfoot Indian.

I would never consider Showboat nor Oklahoma to be 'Westerns' . Thise are two great musicals.

Mitchum could play the hero or villain equally well. Perhaps better then any other actor ( think River of No Return and 5 Card Stud). Even those who were good at both like Widmark and Marvin were better as the bad guys.

Bob made it look easy. Had that lazy laid back style. When I was a kid he and Wayne were easily my favorites.

Woody Strode

0:45- what movie is this?

I don't know who sets on the AFI, but they need a lesson on what makes a good movie.

I was gettin' a mite worried until you named Jimmy, pardner.... :)

Lee Van Cleef

George "Gabby" Hayes was his best sidekick to me. He "out acted" the John in Tall in the saddle.

AND WOMEN just sayn hehe

I ENJOYED both of these v5

Great list but I don't think that was Sam Elliott in that scene with Redford

Good list. I second those calling for Van Cleef and Richard Widmark, and I'll throw in Ken Curtis, who wasn't just Festus on Gunsmoke, but appeared in several John Ford Westerns.

Nobody cares if they're white women they just want to see beauty But nowadays there would be a bunch of transexuals transgender So God bless the white women of the 1950s natural beauties

I have never seen an Audie Murphy film, thats weird, as a western fan.

Susan Oliver! 😍🤠

Michael Landunt! of Bonanza

I would have included Randolph Scott and James Gardner. Otherwise a very nice list.

Not all of my favorites, but not a bad one in the bunch. Quite a good list.

Awesome list!!! Definitely need a PART 2 to this listing. Grew up watching ALL these actors and they are what makes the Western genre GREAT!!

Burt brought such a presence, a magnetism to each role, no matter it’s genre. If Lancaster was in the cast, you could count on a superb interpretation, and presentation of each role. Thank you, Wrangler, for this video. Take care, amigo.

Where is Lee Van Clef ?

I’m really glad that you did a video on ‘Festus”. He was just so talented as a vocalist and a splendid actor. His role on “Gunsmoke” was a strong part, along with Matt, Doc, and Miss Kitty, was all part of why the series lasted as long as it did so well. Thanks for this video, amigo.

Superbly done video, well researched and presented. The shooting of John Wayne in “The Cowboys” didn’t do Bruce Dern any favors. Dern’s popularity took a nose dive after his splendidly performed role. Thank you, and take care, amigo.

Bureau Lancaster forever😊

Ben Johnson is all western, and nothing but. If you added Ben to the cast, the film got bumped up several pegs. Thanks for the video, amigo.

Great choices, no arguments here. Thanks for the video, amigo.

Great list, I would have to add Richard Widmark. I love his last wagon. Seems reasonable.

Great list that im sure western fans would agree on. I know i do. Toss in Garner and a couple more.

Delighted to see Tom Selleck there, I was hoping he was. His best work were western stories. But no Lee van Cleef? I'd definitely have the same as yours with one or two swap outs, Van Cleef and Widmark would have to be in my top 20.

So many great movies of individual acts of heroism and the overarching strategies that comprised WWII. I would add some which contained no overt violence but had a tremendous impact on the outcome of WWII: 1. The Imitation Game. Unquestionably one of the key achievements to overcoming Germany was the breaking of their 'unbreakable' Enigma machine. 2. The Man Who Never Was. The (mostly) true story of Operation Mincemeat, which helped clear the way for the invasion of the underbelly of Fortress Europe. 3. The Day After Trinity. Talk about 'based on true events', doesn't get more based than this documentary about J. Robert Oppenheimer.

My Top 20 list. No particular order except the top 3 1: Gary Cooper. 2: Alan Ladd 3: Randolph Scott 4: Glenn Ford 5: William Holden 6 John Wayne 7: Richard Widmark 8: Gregory Peck 9:: Robert Duvall 10: Henry Fonda. 11: Robert Mitchum 12: Charles Bronson. 13: Errol Flynn. 14: Robert Ryan 15: Robert Taylor. 16: Walter Brennan 17: Burt Lancaster 18: Jack Palance 19: Steve McQueen 20: Van Heflin.

Excellent list , I gave this some thinking and came up with this list, as you said in no particular order and subject to change John Wayne Gary Cooper James Stewart William Holden Glenn Ford Randolph Scott Joel McCrea Charles Bronson Richard Widmark Henry Fonda Gregory Peck Robert Mitchum Ben Johnson Lee Marvin Clint Eastwood Rory Calhoun Audie Murphy George Montgomery Rod Cameron Burt Lancaster 🐴special notice to some who almost made the List Lee Van Cleef , Robert Ryan , Dean Martin , James Garner , Sam Elliott , Tom Selleck , Anthony Quinn ..

Even if what qualifies a western as accurate is arguable, I would like to draw attention to The Glory Guys 1965. The combat tactics of the troops in meeting an Indian charge by dismounting and forming a line, as opposed to forming a circle, is accurate. Single shot carbines are used and uniforms are basic. Additionally, the climactic battle scene is a fairly accurate depiction of the Little Big Horn senn from Reno's point of view.

Excellent list.

Great List, there are others I would have added some I would have removed. This is your list, and it is a good one, no argument from me...

My favorite: Yosemite Sam!

Pretty tough to beat the first ten minutes of the "Wild Bunch".

I want to add I was raised by town gunsmith Newberg Or. a friend wanted to see my draw, using a old 16mm movie camera , I was just on one frame. thats 1/16 of a sec. I say thats impossible. camera was very old. must have been slow. the guys i watched in your movie, appear fast Ben cooper i wouldnt want to face 60yrs ago.. check out Buddy Hackett. at my fastesst I was 16yrs , 6ft tall, 145lbs. now im old and fat and slow

Buddy Hackett they say was fast. Hugh O’Brian claimed his 0.25 of a second was the fastest, but Davis Jr. and Lewis were reportedly faster. O’Brian challenged Audie Murphy to a contest, but when Murphy requested live ammunition, O’Brian wisely declined. Others who were good at fast draw during the 1950s and 1960s, says Firearms Editor Phil Spangenberger, included Wally “Mr. Peepers” Cox, Hugh Downs (a host of the early Today show), dancer Donald O’Connor, singers Marty Robbins and Frankie Lane, and actors Glenn Ford, Clu Gulager, Ernest Borgnine, Jock Mahoney and Clint Eastwood.

Great nostalgia - I have watched all of these actors and enjoyed their performances.

Hi, Wrangler..., "ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEOS ! !" * In 1957..., a great true war movie came out titled: "The Bridge on the River Kwai". * "The Bridge on the River Kwai" won more Academy Awards ( OSCARS ) than any other true war movie made in history. * Excellent video and very informative, and "Thank you" for sharing the video ! ! * I watched the true war movie "Patton" 12 times and finally decided to purchase the DVD version... * Your great WW2 movies based on true events..., brought back memories of the "Vietnam War" and my 6 tours in Vietnam. * My ( PTSD ) came out watching this video, and I have memories of Vietnam and a terrible divorce. * The new ( Pfizer ) medication 💊 for ( PTSD ) from the VA Medical Hospital and delivered to my home works really well... day and night, for flashbacks and nightmares, including stress, anxiety, and depression. * Excellent video... "Semper Fi" Mike in Montana :)

How come your channel is called “Famous People,” yet most of the content is about westerns? ???
