Didn't know it was a movie, but Louis L'amour's Conagher is one of the best western novels I've ever read, and I've read lots. No glamour, no heroics, two superbly drawn, real, lead characters, and one of the most original, well constructed and believable romances I've come across in literature of any genre. L'amour at his best and most realistic recreation of the wild west. Ranks right up there with Shane, but far more unusual and original/unique than the latter.
The film exists on the bare minimum of the book's plot and dialogue yet still delivers the story with a wide scope, gritty realism and magnificent acting. This lean style is what makes "Conagher" such a cool western.
Cody, you’re correct that Lee Van Cleef should be mentioned when discussing top movie stars in westerns. It’s the voice of Sam Elliott: every syllable is cowboy.
That was a great book. Conagher is one of my favorite books of all time. Really good reading! You get where I'm going with this post? Fantastic BOOK! Think about it.
johneqwest if this don’t melt a real mans heart, you haven’t got a caring one.70 yrs old , I’ve lived some good and bad times, I know when something is real and good and meaningful, this is simply one if not the best movie I’ve ever watched!!!!!!!!!💔💔💔💔💔💔💖💖 praise the Lord, He is good!!!
One of the best L'Amour novels and one of the best western movies, ever. The character Conagher is a humble, honorable man whose honesty and loyalty are unquestionable. There was a time when such things were of paramount importance to men, and I'm lucky to have lived the first part of my life back then -- such men helped mold my character, and I'll always be grateful, though I doubt I measure up to the Old Ones. Thanks for posting this scene, Max. --- Old Matt
He is my favorite actor....he knows how to do a western!!! I believe that I have seen every movie he has been in!!! Need to make more westerns, especially with Sam !!
Conagher has been my favorite western since it first came out in '91. Realistic, believable people pioneering the west. Loved the very believable romance between Sam Elliott and his lovely wife, Kathryn Ross. I play this movie every so often. For me, it's like putting on my most comfy jeans and soft sweater and curling up on the couch with a good book! Two favorite scenes: when he first sees her standing in the doorway to her cabin and when he comes in the house to her humble, rustic but beautiful candle light supper, and she walks around the table serving coffee. Love the look in Sam Elliott's eyes and on his face.;)
Would agree with everyone, and I know city slickers was a comedy film but you got to look at Jack Palance as well. Proper guy! Served in the military. 👍💪
Been watching cowboys for over 60 odd yrs. Conager probably no. 1 in my book, just watched again today, those smiles between festus and Sam when they met were real, they could barely hold back, I think they both realized they both were 2 of the best cowboys in history. Loved festus on Gunsmoke, Elliott in every thing he does? Brought tears to my eyes at the end, miss Ross is his real life wife, give this movie 5 ⭐️ Stars😇❤️ there should have been some big awards for this film with Sam and his wife⭐️⭐️⭐️ the real true love for each other sure was on they’re eyes when they looked at each other❤️❤️ Corbin and gammons were great🤘🏻🤘🏻
I got to ride in a wagon with Ken Curtis after he performed with The Sons of the Pioneers at the National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City in the late 70's
I have to keep going back to see it, my favorite is the scene where he trades his rifles with the old man I will always be haunted by this, when he says you might as well stay the night, then here it is you ain't going fer tonight.
When you want a western weekend this is on the list. Fantastic adaptation of a louis l'Amour book. Sam Elliott is what we see in our mind's eye of old time cowboys. I almost wrote down my 10 all time western movies. Nope, won't do it. Too many good ones. But this movie is on the list. The cast in this movie was outstanding. Katherine Ross, Nuff said. Thanks Sam.
Produced by Sam Elliott and his wife Kathrine Ross as a TV movie. I’m glad to see it get the recognition it deserves! It has it all: Western action, romance and Cowboy machismo!! Many wonderful character actors in the supporting cast as well! Billy Greenbush, Barry Corbin, Ken Curtis, Dub Taylor and his son Buck, Gavin O’Herlihy (awesome villain), Paul Koslo (another villain), the great Pepe Serna, the amazing James Gammon, James Parks and Daniel Quinn! So many more actors as well! I own a copy of it and watch it on TV as well!
I’ve never read any of the novels but I do love a good western. And man, this is one of them. Everything about it had the look and feel of a western: the dialogue, the clothing, the scenery. As if you could feel the dust.
Rambling Cowboy to me, it is the best his wife in real life, mrs Ross or should I say mrs Elliott, played such a good part. They both are brilliant, have a great marriage. She was great in Butch Cassidy, could watch them over and over and I’m a big Gunsmoke, High chapparel, cimmaron strip fan, all westerns, hop-a-long Cassidy too!!!!
Been a big John Wayne fan since the '50's. But this L'Amour tale with Sam at the helm is one of my very favorite westerns. Read the paperback every spring and watch the movie every summer. Hard to beat....
Conagher, one of the classic “knights of the plains” story lines fashioned after King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table legends. Our western legends!
I have this movie, I can watch it over and over again. one of my all time favorite. also really like the movie the quick and the Dead staring Sam Elliot as well.
Max Brazil thank you, I didnt know anything about this wonderful western, your right it does have everything and everything is done just right. A classic
I've never seen the movie, but that's the coolest western scene I've watched in a long time. What a couple he and Katherine Ross make: the personification of rugged manhood and one of the most beautiful and classiest women ever to grace the screen.
If y'all haven't seen this movie... get 'er done! Unquestionably one of the best. Has every element of the classic western. The smoldering love story is the under current to a very manly western with something for everyone. Sam Elliot and Katherine Ross bring it to life.
I finally got to watch this today, dunno how I missed it almost thirty years ago. Louis L'Amour was my grandpa's favorite western author & this movie is a great adaptation of his style. Highly recommend if you appreciate old school westerns...
One of my favorites. “Makes a man wonder what he did with his summer wages,” is a line you don’t forget; especially if you’ve rolled out your bed in a cow camp.
Sam Elliot has more hair on his balls than most men on their chest.....LOL. And he is soooooooooo cool before he shows it. And of course, the best voice ever put to use in a western. No one else has ever had one like it.
I owned all of his books -- I think there were 60 I gave them to a Nephew that was a fan with a promise of no dog eared pages.The books were hard back with fake leather and gold trim .
One of the best lines I've heard in a Western movie . Who gave you that black eye mister ? Well son nobody gave it to me I fought for it . Or words to that affect -- been a few years since I've seen the movie. Kinda wish I thought of it in my younger days . LOL
Thank you very much. I had never heard of this Western, and this scene is really excellent, with the Desperados and they're smart talk, and the well-meaning proprietor, and tough guy Sam Elliott. I was expecting a blowout. This looks like a really good movie, and the set is excellent along with the lighting and the color!
Watched it... they kept so much of the awesome dialog I remember from when I first read the book when I was 14. And all the times I've read it since lol. Great film. Thanks for posting this as I had no idea it was made into a movie until I saw it.
❤❤❤ I'm watching conagher now. Damn good movie . Love Sam Elliott in any movie one hell of a sexy man Love his dimples and mustache and that voice nobody has a voice like him.❤❤❤❤
Sam's mustache and that raspy voice did the whole scene. Some one said this but in different way. I could stay and get a cup of coffee. I have watched this 11 times maybe.
One of my favorites, I have the DVD. Another Louis L'amour/Sam Eliot favorite of mine is the TV movie "The Sacketts" with the added benefit of having Tom Selleck, Glenn Ford, Jack Elam, Ben Johnson and a whole slew of great character actors.
A lesser known movie with Richard Farnsworth called "The Grey Fox", has a similar cult following. Great story and supporting cast. (Bill Miner emerges from prison at the turn of the century, to a world he doesn't know.) It's one of my all time favorites!
I saw that movie when I was a teenager I'm with on it . Ranks right up there. I was raised on horse back since i was six my grandfather run around 200 head BF1 momma cows. Happiest days of my life , heeled down hunkin leather with cow pony's nose stuck up cows ass
"Box of 44s and some coffee and beans." Probably boils the coffee and beans together, strains out the coffee into his cup through a sock, and then eats the beans straight from the pot. Saves time. Uses the bullets for shootin'.
The first novels I read as a kid. My father had a collection of Louis Lamour westerns. I eventually read them all and then started adding to the collection. There were so many great books but I remember "The Californians" as being one that stood out. I'm planning to buy the whole lot for my own son now. A great writer. Sam Elliot was born to be a cowboy.
Hands down the most authentic western ever made. You can almost feel the dust on your eyelids and the sweat and grit on the back of your neck. The clothing, the hairstyles, the tack everything was researched and is authentically reproduced. Great actors and a great story. Why can't Hollywood make more movies like this?
@@flybeep1661 True Grit remake a great western? Didn't any of see Open Range? or 3:10 to Yuma, or Legends Of The Fall? Unforgiven? I know their not in order, but those were Great Westerns. But Conagher is a great movie, probably my favorite...
Sam Elliot became the epitome of the hard as nails, man of few words, western hero. The first time I ever remember seeing him, however, was at a drive-in movie in the 70s when he was a VERY young man playing the handsome, well built lead in a low budget movie titled "Lifeguard: Every Girls Summer Dream". Truth be told, the only reason I went was because the girl I was dating at the time wanted to see it, but in spite of the title it actually turned out to be a good movie, mainly because of Elliot's portrayal of the character. He also played Army officer Sam "Night Clerk" Damon in the television mini-series "Once An Eagle" based on the best selling book spanning WWI, the interwar years and WWII. I swear, that man could read the dictionary on screen and make it interesting!

I took you at your word . Just ordered a copy of the book.
love the L'amour books... have read a ton of them...
,this was filmed in southern Colorado NOT Arizona.
Ken Anderson: It was filmed in both states but mostly in Arizona

Best western ever. I watched this all the time with my Dad. He's passed on, but for Father's day, it's the movie I put on.
Best fight in a western ever!
It's very cool u watch it still without him ! 👍🏻
May he rest in peace 🕊️
Love that Sam Elliot voice. Way he clocks his head. Priceless
I’ve always been a fan of John Wayne & Clint Eastwood, but when it comes to a real cowboy, nobody is better than Sam Elliott!
Thems fightinn words son, your not even mention Lee VanClief's name
You know he's from Sacramento, right?
Cody, you’re correct that Lee Van Cleef should be mentioned when discussing top movie stars in westerns. It’s the voice of Sam Elliott: every syllable is cowboy.
Joel, Didn’t know. Do know: married to Katharine Ross for a long time, which is unusual for movie stars.
@@andrewmeachum6731 His voice should be declared a national treasure!
One of the best movies ever made!!!
Love Sam Elliott westerns, Conagher is one of my all time favorites
That was a great book. Conagher is one of my favorite books of all time. Really good reading!
You get where I'm going with this post? Fantastic BOOK! Think about it.
Great Movie. Love Sam Elliott. Excellent cast. True to the book. I've watched this film dozens of times.
Sam Elliott could read the damn phone book and I'd be watching on the edge of my seat!!
Great story, great film. One of my favorite lines:
"Who give ya the black eye?"
"Nobody gave it to me - I fought for it."
I just said the same thing before I read the comments . LOL
Same line(pretty much) from Maureen O'Hara in "McClintock"
@@mikegrossberg8624 That's just what I was thinking, except she won hers!
johneqwest if this don’t melt a real mans heart, you haven’t got a caring one.70 yrs old , I’ve lived some good and bad times, I know when something is real and good and meaningful, this is simply one if not the best movie I’ve ever watched!!!!!!!!!💔💔💔💔💔💔💖💖 praise the Lord, He is good!!!
Another great one (from memory, so paraphrased):
"No, Conagher ain't a gunfighter. He's the kind the gunfighters avoid."
He was MADE for westerns.
Without a doubt
Best western actor since John Wayne.
He can be whatever he wants
His moustache starred in a number of films on its own sometimes
@@ianarmstrong1636
I'm pretty sure it played Tom Selleck's moustache's brother a few times.
One of the best L'Amour novels and one of the best western movies, ever. The character Conagher is a humble, honorable man whose honesty and loyalty are unquestionable. There was a time when such things were of paramount importance to men, and I'm lucky to have lived the first part of my life back then -- such men helped mold my character, and I'll always be grateful, though I doubt I measure up to the Old Ones.

Truly.
I have watched this movie several times. It never gets old.
I'm looking to see this!! Wow I never new elliot did this! I love him
I bought the DVD off of Amazon.
Conagher undoubtedly the best western I've ever seen! Perfect dialogue, perfectly acted. Perfect cast!
At the end the fight very good!
Absolutely right, just amazing.
One of my favorites. Own the DVD and have watched it at least 50 times. Louis L'Amour wrote great books.
Love this movie and the book.
“Mister, nobody would a fool go into the rocks after a wounded Apache.” Goosebumps.
Real wisdom
Love the book & movie & Mr. ELLIOT in it.
One of the top five westerns on my list. Might even be number one.
I’m partial to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. But this is a close second.
Anything with Sam Elliot in is top quality .
He`s a cool dude. Wish I had that low voice he`s got.
@@REDMAN298 He was great as Gar in Mask .His wife said it was his voice that got her.
If you saw "Fatal Beauty" you may retract that statement lol.
@@John-ob7dh He was good as Wade Garrett, Carter Slade, and Tell Sackett.
He is my favorite actor....he knows how to do a western!!! I believe that I have seen every movie he has been in!!! Need to make more westerns, especially with Sam !!

Well put. My sentiments exactly.
Sam Elliot represent (to us across the pond) the real American cowboy.
Denmark agree
Here in the West he represents the real American cowboy. Sam Elliot is a real as it gets
@will Roland Talking about robert Duvall, in a career filled with great roles Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove is his stand out role.
sam can ride a horse or his Harley,he is the real deal,bro saw him up at Sturgis,most left him alone to be normal,yeah he's double cool
Would agree with everyone, and I know city slickers was a comedy film but you got to look at Jack Palance as well. Proper guy! Served in the military. 👍💪
Cool is an understatement
I just listened to Sam Elliot in 5.1 surround and it was splendid!!

A great movie and book!
I can't tell you how many times I've said "I take a man's money, I ride for the brand." Love this movie.
Yep it became one of our favorites, too
Amen. A terrific succinct way of explaining how a man should work.
I remember when this came out on TNT, we recorded it on VHS! Eventually got it on DVD. It's a must have for sure!
I agree, it is one of the best westerns ever made and for all the reason you mentioned.

“It’s a hard country, kid.”
"its a hard country kid"
Just watched this one, very good movie. Classic western and Sam Elliott is the ultimate cowboy.
Sam Elliot's moustache has more hair in it than most men have hair on their heads.
Truth!!
It's not hard to do sometimes - a lot of us are bald.
Certainly puts my head of hair to shame. I want tache like Sam’s for my Christmas.
I heard his horse has a moustache just like Sam's.
Sam Elliot has more hair on his balls than most men on their chest.....LOL. And he is soooooooooo cool before he shows it.
And of course, the best voice ever put to use in a western. No one else has ever had one like it.
Con Conagher is my favorite one book character of Louis L'Amour. Thankfully the movie stays pretty true to the book.
One of my favorite cowboys of all time.😉
Thanks for sharing that clip. Need to watch that movie.
Great movie. One of my all time favorites
This scene just makes me want to watch this movie!
Never saw the movie, but now I want to. I read many Louis L'Amour books.
I owned all of his books -- I think there were 60 I gave them to a Nephew that was a fan with a promise of no dog eared pages.The books were hard back with fake leather and gold trim .
Very good movie ,been a long time since I saw it. Great cast seems to depict the west as you'd expect it.
This was a fantastic western! Sam and the rest of the cast was perfect.
What a clipp,love it to bitsxxx
Every time I hit a tumbleweed I think of this book and movie.
Great movie, one I love to see over and over.
One of the best lines I've heard in a Western movie . Who gave you that black eye mister ? Well son nobody gave it to me I fought for it . Or words to that affect -- been a few years since I've seen the movie.
Kinda wish I thought of it in my younger days . LOL
Thank you very much. I had never heard of this Western, and this scene is really excellent, with the Desperados and they're smart talk, and the well-meaning proprietor, and tough guy Sam Elliott.

The best
Western I have. Seen
Robert kwasney Sam elliott
This is my favorite Western!!
The Man and the Movies he makes..are a 10 in my books...
❤❤❤ I'm watching conagher now. Damn good movie . Love Sam Elliott in any movie one hell of a
sexy man Love his dimples and mustache and that voice nobody has a voice like him.❤❤❤❤
i will not argue who is the best cowboy, you know them all. but SAM ELLIOTT is hard to beat!
I’m still Wayne fan. But sam is the king of cool westerns.
Yeah Sam Elliott is my favorite hands down, only one that is close for me is either Clint Eastwood or Lee Vancleef.
GREAT Novel.... GREAT Movie.... GREAT WESTERN!!!!
Sam's mustache and that raspy voice did the whole scene. Some one said this but in different way. I could stay and get a cup of coffee. I have watched this 11 times maybe.
Amen! This is hands down the best Western out there.
just brought this film , first rate Western , sam makes a great cowboy.
Most def one of the best westerns made
Great movie and the music is the best...
Great movie! Sam Elliott plays a good cowboy!
"Mister, I'm in a swapping mood."
I'm totally saying that the next time I walk into the store.
What have you got to swap mister?
Definitely one of the best Westerns
Top notch western one of the greatest
One of my favorites, I have the DVD. Another Louis L'amour/Sam Eliot favorite of mine is the TV movie "The Sacketts" with the added benefit of having Tom Selleck, Glenn Ford, Jack Elam, Ben Johnson and a whole slew of great character actors.
Let me tell you a lil' something about Sam Elliot.
That man won't die, instead he will simply pass into legend.
One of the best made westerns I have seen, from louis L'amour's book, conagher. A movie well worth watching.
I love this movie. Very realistic. I wish it was on TV somewhere.
A lesser known movie with Richard Farnsworth called "The Grey Fox", has a similar cult following. Great story and supporting cast. (Bill Miner emerges from prison at the turn of the century, to a world he doesn't know.) It's one of my all time favorites!
A spectacular western!
I saw that movie when I was a teenager I'm with on it . Ranks right up there. I was raised on horse back since i was six my grandfather run around 200 head BF1 momma cows. Happiest days of my life , heeled down hunkin leather with cow pony's nose stuck up cows ass
What ever character he played, he is the best!
Sam Elliot has a Gary Cooper type flavor to his cowboy character 👍 👌
I havent seen this but Sam Elliot just sold it to me
Sam Elliott, a relative on a side limb in my family tree, is in my top 3 favorite western actors.
Love the coyote howl in the background.
That wasn't a coyote howl that was the third apahe that he wounded up in the rocks calling him for a rematch.
Those were authentic coyote sounds. I know. I grew up on a farm in western Oklahoma and every night we were serenaded by them up in the hills.
In my top westerns with some great lines.
"Box of 44s and some coffee and beans." Probably boils the coffee and beans together, strains out the coffee into his cup through a sock, and then eats the beans straight from the pot. Saves time. Uses the bullets for shootin'.
Sam Elliot is just as awesome in real life as he is in the movies... He's a man's man....Strong yet humble.
I actually liked the store owner for doing a deal and even tossing in a few extra rounds.
Great movie and a great actor!!!
The first novels I read as a kid. My father had a collection of Louis Lamour westerns. I eventually read them all and then started adding to the collection. There were so many great books but I remember "The Californians" as being one that stood out. I'm planning to buy the whole lot for my own son now. A great writer. Sam Elliot was born to be a cowboy.
Louis is the GOAT among Western writers in my eyes.
" The Californios" one of Louis Lamours' best.
good the bad and the ugly was the best western ever made
#Conagher, #Samelliott, is most awesome actor of our time. Great western, lots of horses. Love you Sam.
Hands down the most authentic western ever made. You can almost feel the dust on your eyelids and the sweat and grit on the back of your neck. The clothing, the hairstyles, the tack everything was researched and is authentically reproduced. Great actors and a great story. Why can't Hollywood make more movies like this?
even down to the sound of the Winchesters being levered and spitting brass,love that sound in real life and almost never hear it in a western.
You are right. We give credit to Sam Elliott and the other fine actors perhaps we should thank the Director, Mr. Reynaldo Villalobos, as well.
@Dave54600 Tombstone last great western?? I guess you never saw the True Grit remake.
Not enough car chases and explosions or costumed superheroes in Westerns.
@@flybeep1661 True Grit remake a great western? Didn't any of see Open Range? or 3:10 to Yuma, or Legends Of The Fall? Unforgiven? I know their not in order, but those were Great Westerns. But Conagher is a great movie, probably my favorite...
When ever I read about tell sackett I think of Sam Elliot fits the part to a tee
@@dieselpower3794 6 ft 3 in in my socks,when I got any.
