I was given a stack of classic old western dvds and One Eyed Jacks was in there. I'd never seen or heard of it before but it's now one of my favorite westerns. Brando insolent and dangerous, Karl Malden as his double crossing partner, Ben Johnson and Slim Pickens round out the cast set in old coastal town Monterey.

One of my favorites, too. Some memorable lines.

Ben Johnson as Bob Ermey to Harvey - "Harvey, you're gonna be famous around these parts."

Harvey - "How's that?"

Ben Johnson - "You're gonna be knowed as the man who got his brains blowed out by the Rio Kid."

Or ...

Ben Johnson as Bob Ermey to Brando " Kid, that hand ain't never gonna be any good. Hell, I think even I could get six in in you now."

Brando as the Rio Kid - "You might get them six in me, Bob ... but not before I got that one in you."

Yep, One Eyed Jacks is a classic, in my opinion.
