movies he was in?

[Julieduke]

1. BadMan of Deadwood (this is Roy Rogers western so Jimmy is real young and he has a mustache is you can't find him in it.)

2. The Caine Mutiny(Bogart movie, he is one the guys in the crows nest of the ship).

3.Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair(1952) he plays a smart alleck character more like Bo Duke in the movie he has a great line to one lady in the movie.

4. Hooper(1978) Great Burt Reynolds movie and if you looks real closely that is same hat as he wears in Dukes.

5. Ode to Billie Joe -Great movie watch to find out.

6. Sounder(1972) -He plays a mean Sheriff in the movie.

If anybody can think of any Great Jame Best movies that they have or seen just had it.

[Julieduke]

A Friend told me that James Best was in the Elvis Presley movie called "Love Me Tender" he is one of Elvis's brother that sitting in the chairing and playing the guitar.

[MaryAnne]

Hmm.....I don't think he was in Love Me Tender (be cool if he was!)

Other great Jimmie movies....

Air Cadet (1950) - Plays one of four young Air Force recruits. Richard Long is also in this movie. Elements of the plot are similar to "From Here to Eternity" which came out three years later.

Target Unknown (1951) - Jimmie plays a member of a WWII bomber crew, shot down over Germany and captured and taken prisoner. The Nazi's attempt to trick the crew members into revealing sensitive information regarding troop build ups in England in preperation for the invasion of Europe. Interesting movie and apparently based on some events that actually happened.

The Left Handed Gun (1958) - With Paul Newman. Also look for Denver Pyle in this one. Paul Newman plays Billy the Kid and Jimmie is one of his buddies. Without spoiling the plot, Denver's character ends up doing something to Jimmie that Uncle Jesse probably would've like to have done to Rosco in his more angry moments. LOL

The Quick Gun (1964) - One of several movies Jimmie did with Audie Murphy (the single most decorated veteran of WWII). Jimmie plays a Sheriff of a small town and Audie is a man with a shady past. He returns and trouble ensues.


There's tons of others, I'll list later. :wink:

[deathangel_tori]

Well the latest one I aquired is Ride Lonesome. In which his character is being taken in to be hanged (yes he plays the bad guy in this). Kind of young in that.

Killer Shrews I thought he looked damn good in and had a decent part.

The Brain Machine had me thinking Rosco turned priest, though he didn't act goofy in this one, I just felt the part was wrong for him.

Rolling Thunder, he plays the bad guy, not a whole lot of screen time, but ends up being the focal point of a mans anger

I loved him in Hooper, carefree and worries quite a bit for his pal.

Though if you want to see a couple of decent tv spots, try the t-zone epps with him.

[Julieduke]

I had seen a very young Jimmy in "Francis Goes to West Point" and he is senior Cadet in the movie and You'll have to watch to find out the rest.

[Julieduke]

" Hot Tamale" is his new movie co-starring Janeen his daughter and her husband Micheal Damian . Randy Spelling, Carmen Electra, Jason Priestly.

[Meadowmufn]

The Brain Machine had me thinking Rosco turned priest, though he didn't act goofy in this one, I just felt the part was wrong for him.

Even though the part was wrong for him, I think Jimmie was the only saving grace of The Brain Machine. It was a heaping pile of doggy doo. Jimmie's mentioned that Killer Shrews was the worst movie he ever made, but I'd have to disagree. Killer Shrews was much more entertaining than The Brain Machine. The plot for BM (as I'll refer to it from now on) was incredibly convoluted, the characters were unbelievable, and by the time Jimmie's character died, we'd completely lost interest. LOL. However, we did give his dying scene a standing ovation. As cheesy as that scene was, it was the only decent acting in the movie. :lol:

I'm pretty partial to Left Handed Gun and Firecreek. Jimmie did some great work in those old westerns. Too bad most folks just know him as Rosco and don't know much about his other work.

[deathangel_tori]

add in that you got to alot more of jimmie in shrews then, achh brain machine.

now recently i've been lucky to see verboten which is actually pretty good (aside from a few minor changes i would make). got left handed gun coming in friday

[Meadowmufn]

got left handed gun coming in friday

Ooh! Goodie. That's one of my faves. I gotta get it on DVD. Lotsa memorable quotes:

Jimmie plays Tom Folliard.

Tom: "Hey Charlie? Did you notice the way he straps his gun?"
Charlie: "So?"
Tom: "Yeah, ties her down too."
Charlie: "That don't mean he's a bandit."
Tom: "Well, it don't mean he's a preacher neither."

[Bill-Duke]

I was just thinking here "The Killer Shrews" I can think of them ever making a remake of this movie like almost every other movie they've made a remake of. And is they ever did, I think Micheal Rosembuam a.k.a. Lex Luthor(2001-2008) of tv's Smallville would be great in Jimmy's character he looks a little like Jimmie in that movie. Just Imagine Lex with hair, he has great dark hair when he see him not in Smallville.

Second thing, the 50th annviersay of "The Killer Shrews" is coming up next year.

No, just... NO.

What about Jensen Ackles a.k.a. Dean Winchester from Supernatural he would make a good a sea captain or if people don't like him Tom Welling a.k.a. Clark Kent from Smallville.

www.MichealRosenbuam.com there is some pictures of him with hair on his website.

Okay, just thought I add something funny happened at work, and this time it wasn't me. Heather at the McDonald's not once but twice knocked over the big thing of Ice Coffee, I chuckled a little as I was walking out of the McDonald's parking lot. Glad the Boss wasn't mad at me. Both times she claims it was an accident, I was accidently said when somebody yelled for a mop, I kind of added or a boat. I think the floor is really thristy at work today.

[Julieduke]

He has a new movie that's out called "Moondance Alexander" it also stars Don Johnson as well.

Tuesday Night I had seen "The Left Handed Gun" with Paul Newman and James Best and I had seen what they mean about Denver Pyle and James Best thing. Everybody right about he would've like to done that in the show but didn't.

Quick Billy The Kid Facts.

His real name was William Bonney, and he was from Brooklyn, Ny originally and he either could read or couldn't read I never could figure which it was from the movie.

Last Night I watched Shock Corrider and Jimmie did a great job playing a ex-GI that thought he was General Jeb Stuart and is he really that good of a dancer in real life now.

[Ultimate01Fan]

Don't forget that James as well as Denver were both on a bunch of classics and westerns like, Andy Griffith, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Riffle Man, etc.

[Sheriff_Rosco_P_Coltrane]
