  ...not quite as fanatically.

  Your post got to thinking why? - and I have to admit, I think they are *both* great westerns.

  Perhaps it's the outstanding supporting cast in One-Eye that makes multiple viewings a pleasure. Not to mention the lines like "you gob a spit!" and "looks like you're the one with a gut Lon!"

  There's nothing wrong with the arm wrestling match over the scorpions in The Appaloosa and I love how Matt Fletcher always seems to lose. Not a typical western script where four bad guys get gunned down in a gun draw quicker then the blink of an eye.

    "Rio, You could spend the rest of your life looking for this man".
    Rio: "Let's get goin'.

    Dad: I suppose you were wondering why I didn't show up back there.
    Rio: Yeah, I thought about it.

    Rio: "Don't be doin' her like that."

    Dad: "Oh, sure, kid. You'll get a FAIR trial. Then I'm gonna hang ya.

      I think that's what make Brando so great - he always seems to create a character who inspires empathy

        a man. Jimmy Stewart was a great war hero and all but unfortunately, he looked like a school marm and had a nerdy little voice.
        Brando looked tough as hell and yet had a "soft" side. That's the secret of his superstardom: he appealed to both men and women, equally.
