I had to look it up, 'fraid I haven't heard of it but you are right, though I'll have to wait until the coven is convened again :D

Try one from a Western for a change.  "This ain't Dodge City and you ain't Bill Hickok."

John, if the quote,"This ain't Dodge City and you ain't Bill Hickok" is from the film I think it is, does it really count as a Western if it's set in Australia?

I think it's Tom Selleck as Quigley in Quigley Down Under.

I've been enjoying the Blue Bloods cop show on TV and catching up on other Tom Selleck stuff like the Jesse Stone series and random films.

Right film.  Thought it might be more difficult  It is listed as a 'Western' in Selleck's catalogue of films, so I suppose its the genre.

Another (real) western - "Well Mr Carpetbagger, in this territory we have a thing called the Missouri boat ride"
"Welcome back to the fight...this time I know our side will win"

Seems like maybe "The Outlaw Josey Wales"?

Clintwood's finest piece of western fare.

There's a hotel nearby called the Best Western.

Locals refer to it as the Josey Wales (or just plain Josies).

Yes it is of course Clint Eastwood in "The Outlaw Josie Wales".

Can't fault that logic!  :)

OJW is definitely one of his best films. Also like his portrayal of the older, more mature and somewhat cynical William Munny in "Unforgiven", reckon he deserved his Oscars for that flick (Best Pic and Best Director 1993).
