  • 3 years later and I still like to revisit. :)

  • Comment removed

  • In a way it ruins westerns because it got everything right. Its hard to watch another western without measuring it against Lonesome Dove. I wonder if they knew what they were making while filming.

  • Great job on video. I really liked it. Make one for Woodrow.

  • A good many years I bought the book at JFK before boarding a flight to the UK! I swear to God that the 7hr long haul lasted about 30mins,When we eventually got to see the movie in the UK I don't think that I have ever been so entralled by a western! As John Wayne once said about the way the west is portrayed in films, Yeah. Maybe Its not the way it was! but its the way it should have been! I bow in no one in by belief that Robert Duvall is the greatest actor I have ever seen in a western.

  • I was named after augustus mccrae

  • helluva video!..........helluva vision!!

  • agustas you are one of kind

  • THANK YOU MELISSA! IT WAS GREAT! IT MADE ME SMILE EAR TO EAR! SINCE I SAW THIS MOVIE TWENTY YEARS AGO AND SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR SINCE, IVE TAKEN SO MUCH OUT OF IT, AND HAVE USED IT IN EVERYDAY LIFE. IN MY OPINION, ITS NOT THE BEST WESTERN EVER, ITS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE ON THIS GREEN EARTH. THANKS AGAIN!

  • Great movie-Great actor.

    

  • Who is in cinema today who can fill the boots or Robert Duvall and Tommy lee Jones?

    Answer = No one.

  • Great tribute, great song, so thank you. And always remember: A man who wouldn't cheat for a poke don't want one bad enough.

  • this was the only film that my mom and I watched together, even now ten years after she has been gone, it makes me feel as if she is near me.

    this has to be one of the best movies or mini series ever made

  • If I was Robert Duvall, I would be "Gus" for the rest of my days...

  • For my money the best character in literature, and well played, to say the least, by Duval.

  • I love this movie so much. I've also read the book 20+ times. Gus will always be my favorite character of all time.

  • This book, this movie and these actors are just an absolute masterpiece.

  • Very nice job !!

  • Can anyone think of an actor that id a better job with such a dynamic chacacter? if you can, please let me know.

  • Thanks for posting this -- excellent job!

    Every time I watch LD I find myself wishing just once in my life I could accomplish something as perfect as Duvall's performance in this movie. But that's probably not possible. Ah, well ....

  • Bravo!!!!!! love it!! Nice work!! Does it get any better?No!!!!

  • I play the movie just to hear the dialogue. Gus McCrae will always always be my favorite cowboy.

  • i love this video and i love lonsome dove gus is the man

    thanks for posting this

  • i love this video and i love lonsome dove gus is the man

    

  • I enjoy watching this every time. I swear.

  • I was lucky when reading the book. TV was running ads for this upcoming mini-series. I got to picture Robert Duval & Tommy Lee Jones as I read. Worked out perfect. The series was so true to the book. Thanks, InVino, this was good.

  • i can remember seeing this mini series....gus dying crushed me...love that story, best western ever, very good job

  • Gus McRae is one of the greatest characters in all literature. The movie is the best mini series ever made for tv. Robert Duvall was made for the role as were Tommy lee Jones, Danny Glover and the rest of the cast.

  • Outstanding! Like so many others have said great video highlighting Robert Duvals brilliant portrayal as Capt. Augustus McRae.

    Indeed one of the best Western characters of all time. Thanks for posting.

  • One of Duvall's genius acting turns...I still can't believe he lost the Emmy to James Woods. Shameful.

  • my god

  • Not sure I have ever seen a song put to video better...well done !

    I love Gus :)

  • You did a fine job of putting this video together. We enjoyed it. Robert Duvall as Augustus McCrae is one of the best castings ever. Thanks for posting it.

  • awesome job,,,you really hit this one out of the park,,,greatest character of any western ever made.

  • Never tire of watching this. :)

  • This was based on a true story.

  • Growing up favorite Cowboy characters were played by Clint Eastwood - That quickly changed after the Lonesome Dove debut - Then it was Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones with the timeless characters of Agustus McCrae and Woodrow F. Call. After all these years I still like to pop in the video and sit back and enjoy the movie all over again. Out of all the series that followed, only Comanche Moon comes close to Lonesome Dove

  • Thank you Melissa.

  • I was reading the book at about the same time trailers were running on the upcoming tv miniseries Lonesome Dove. So I was able to picture Robert Duval and Tommy Lee Jones. It worked out great. The miniseries was almost dead on with the book.

  • Because of Gus I was able to sit all the way through a western and fell in Love.

    I have wore out three copies. Gus is the best and you did a great job.

  • One of a kind, Very well done. A classic within a classic. Thanks for sharing. Raul X.

  • This is my all time favorite movie . I have watched the 6 hour series at least 30 times . Great job on this clip !

  • I love RobertDuvall so much as an actor.. as he plays Gus. And Tommy Lee is also Great in these serie

    This is the best made western ever!! Why don't they make them anymore, its a shame!!

  • There is a place in heaven where I get to be Gus. If I am really good down here that is what I get when I go up there. Forever. Thanks Gus. Thanks Bobby Duvall.

  • Love it. :)

  • Augustus McCrae is the greatest character in american literature. Period.

    And DuVall's portrayal of him was spot on perfect.

    Nice job on the video too!

  • Awesome tribute to Capt Augusts McCray. (By god Woodrow its been quite a party aint it )

  • I would like to leave a comment but I am speechless thanks

  • I watch yotube alot and time and time again I keep coming back to this. Great book, great movie and this song just fits Gus so right. Great job

  • Thank you so much lehtineb

  • At first, with the music, I wondered what you were thinking. But then, the clips and the photo snaps, well, you got me. Agustus. I loved it.

    However, I like Gus best when I can hear his voice. Boy, though, you really captured every expression perfectly.

    I can not imagine how long this took you. But on behalf of Mr. Duvall, as a fifth grade teacher, and without his permission, GREAT JOB.

  • Thank you trishistory.

  • @trishistory I still love this. I was thinking about Gus today and his last words. It doesn't really matter how bad things seem to get, in the end, someone will remember us for a little something that we've done. I was thinking what a great finale that would make to a funeral for a real cowboy. Most of the people in the church wouldn't get it. It would make a great send off. Thank God he had his friend. in the end.

  • robert duvall plays my favorite character from teevee here... you know jesus loves him and so do i :)

  • my favorite character in all of literature

  • love it coulda been an intro to a

    spinoff sitcom

  • Love this.. My boybriend introduced me to the whole Larry McMurtry series... I love this piece of his world.

  • You sound like a good woman. He is lucky to have a girl that appreciates this great film.

  • great tribute.... not sure about the seger music, but i know you had a reason for that. but it's a great vid. glad you made it. brings back warm memories. duvall is a master, and this was his best role of all time.

  • robert duvall said in and interview this by far was is favorite role in a film he loved it

  • Great job! What would the world be like today if we had men like this running the country? Good or Bad, things would get done. This movie is one of the best. Thanks!!

  • @CGCConsultant amen to that you said it so right THAK YOU!

  • This is an exellent tribute..In this movie you will see men go through every emotion there is,Thanks again...MDI

  • Thanks for this. Me and my Dad(passed away in 2005) watched this movie over and over. It was so special to us.  I've only watched it once since, it was mighty tough.

    Whole cast, but especially Duvall were just tremendous. What an epic.

  • This movie took me high and low like none I ever seen before.

    Tommy and Robert owned these roles completely. The whole cast was incredible.

    A life's work in one epic.

    Nice tribute work.

    Thanks.

  • I swear........

  • I God.........Duvall is such a badass,

  • Thank you to the creator of this video, Lonesome Dove is my favorite movie (and book) and you have really captured the essence of Augustus. I get tears in my eyes every time I watch this.

  • great video, this is my favorite movie, and robert duvall is my favorite actor no matter what movie he's in .... thanks for making a great tribute

  • Thank you firefawns for the nice compliment.

  • reading the book right now ^.^ :) love it so much cant wait to finish it and see the movie, Cpt. Augustus MC CRAE and Newt fav characters

  • Excellent book! A friend suggested it to me and I fell in love with most of the characters. Each is flawed yet beautiful in their own way. After reading the book, watching the movie brought each of these characters to life.

  • 'We'll Woodrow, It aint dying I'm talking about, It's living'

  • i DON'T KNOW ROBERT DUVALL...ALTHOUGH, I ADMIRE THE WAY HE PLAYED GUS CHARACTER. THANKS Mr DUVALL FOR INTRODUCING GUS McCRAE INTO MY LIFE.

  • Gossip and most womens opinions are emotionally driven, with out concret concepts of right and wrong or logic.

  • I never saw Lonesome Dove. Now, I've got to. A great actor and a killer song!

  • Excelente !!!!!! Logró captar el espiritu la fuerza y el amor por la vida y la aventura de un personaje inolvidable.

  • i saw this miniseries awhile ago and was blown away but it...still am...best western best friendship movie ever!...this is such a perfect tribute for gus! i was so sad when they killed him off

  • This is without a doubt the BEST video i've EVER seen on youtube. I love Lonesome Dove and anything to do with Bob Seger. Great combination!!!!!

  • We loved this western..Stephen and I..we had so many dreams. How I miss him. He was my Gus! Come back to me Stephen..my Gus..my cowboy!!

  • A great actor who has played some great roles, don't know what Ms Popinjay has against Duval but I admire the man.

  • Yes, he has a great resume. He's contributed to some of the best movies Hollywood has made...but I know Robert Duvall...and I have never met a more despicable human being. It's a shame that we think of actors as the characters they portray. Gus McCrae was aces....Robert Duvall is a pale imitation. In truth, he is to be pitied. The star system can suck the soul out of anyone, I guess.

  • YOU KNOW HIM HOW?

  • I live near him in Middleburg, Va. I have seen him many times at functions here. I've been to tango dances at his farm. Met his wife, Luciana, as well. He was a gracious host, and quite charming, to boot. I have also seen him when he was berating someone on another occasion. He smiled after reducing this woman to tears. He call a neighbor of mine a "f...ing c..t" . He has a reputation of hitting on women of any age while on a set. Gus McCrae was a great role for him.DuVall is not Gus.

  • Who cares? Why not just say:.he had a good role in the movie? Why feel you have to qualify your opinion by saying who've you met and where you've been? You think anyone really cares what YOUR opinion of this man is? The posts are about his character roll, what a great job he did, the movie, the role he played . Who are you? I've always had the thought...I was born with a brain. I'll decide what I think of someone based on my observations

  • The classic western hero.  Well done.

  • Absolutely the best Western ever made.I have watched it twice a year since it came out. I have all the books in the series, first printing,first edition, signed by Larry McMurtry. I have been to Adobe Walls where Gus shelters with Lorie. It is a very desolate place. I would just like to say that this video is a fantastic tribute to a great character and wonderful book. Thank you so much Melissa for posting this. It is good knowing there are so many other people who love Lonesome Dove.

  • @18hunkpapa76 I LIVE near Adobe walls. Thats why I love the movie so much.

  • I saw hundred of videos, thousands, but this STILL is my favorite. I got it in my Faceobok page.

  • i feel u dude, i love this fuckin movie too

  • easy telemundo

    lonesome dove is just one of the best movies ever

  • ha sido una de las mejores series que he visto,ya hace unos años,me encantaron todos los personajes de LONESOME DOVE,I LOVE .

  • the election of Obama and the corruption he brings with him..is the day America died.

  • Where have all the Gus McGraes gone. This was the kind of man Texas and this nation once produced. That kind is gone and soon what is good about this nation will be gone.

  • Yea baby, come down to Georgia.  Gus and Woodrow are my Father and Uncle ! LOL

  • @roylee13 Nah ....if you doubt it go on any Army or Marine base. You'll still see some damn fine men there.

  • @roylee13 I think you need to check out Tennessee! That's where Gus was from after all =) I recommend Hickok45 right here on youtube.

  • @roylee13 Thank God! I found the only ONE left! :-)

  • something I love about Gus is that he was so tough and a hard core fighter, but when it came to his friends, Clara or Lorie, he was gentle and kind. I especially loved it when he was consoling Lorie as she was crying after he rescued her.

  • im almost done the book its the best book ive ever read

  • i read it three years ago, and i agree, it's the best book I have ever read.

  • i thing they ware all enjoying been part from this movie . They are so good its like you dont watch movie but something hapaning in front of you , great respect for those people .i have bout parts 1 and 2

  • Too bad we don't have more like him.

  • Great movie and you have made a good vid from it. Thank you.

  • Robert Duval is amazing in this role.

  • Great movie!

  • Excellent work on this

  • Robert Duvall and Augustus McCrae national treasures. Thanks for this tribute.

  • Still love it! Gus, Lonesome Dove and Larry McMurtry

  • I probably commented on this before but you really did a great job putting this book, movie and bob seger song together! Long live Gus!

  • Uno de los mejores, sino el mejor film sobre los hitos de la conquista del oeste norteamericano. R:Duval: un grande . tenemos la suerte de tenerlo residiendo en Argentina. Lo entrevistamos en Observatorioia con gran placer.

  • this is great, thanks!

  • this movie starts off kinda slow but once its over its the best thing you will ever see :)

  • Great video! Augustus McCrae is the best!

  • What wonderful scenes of Gus lined up precisely with the words. Great Job!

    LD is the best true western film released and Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones and the cast were surpurb. Thank you for the video.

  • Fantastic video! THANK YOU! Great song choice - and nice editing. Love the ending.

  • This is one of the great movies ever made, and Larry McMurtry is one of the great writers. Nothing fancy about him or Duvall, just sheer excellence, and knowledge.

  • Great movie, great song, awesome clip.

  • this is the best western ever made. God bless Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones.

  • The Best Western Ever Made

  • Beautiful!

  • Thanks.

  • is the movie commanche moon any good. Its like a prequal to the lonsome doves movies

  • I rented it and only watched about 20 minutes, I didn't like it, but that's just my opinion, you may like it.

  • that what ill do is rent it so im not out to much money if i was to go and buy it

  • Once You See It, You Will Want To Keep It. I just picked up a new copy for 16.95.

  • i bought it for 10 bucks instead of renting it and now every one of my uncles borrow

  • I am sure that they will enjoy it as much as you do. 10 well spent!

  • InVinoVeritas007. You wrote what you did with such humanity that I know if you watch it through you will love it. It's a bit slow to start but it really develops.

    All the best.

  • i just like larry mcmurtry! can't believe watching the book i read like seven times already.

  • the greatest character of all time..thanks gus.

  • : )

  • Wonderful clip, thank you

  • Thank you for watching and commenting.

  • Thank you Melissa!!

  • Thank you for watching and commenting.

  • I first seen this movie when I was 9 years old. My goal in life is to be 50% Gus...50% Woodrow.

  • very nice!!!

  • my fav movie. the best ever. wish I would have named my son agustus.

  • Everyone needs a "Gus" in their lives. Someone to talk to. Someone to save you. Someone to make you laugh, and someone to really piss you off *lol*.

  • Robert Duvall playing Gus McCrae will be remembered along with Gregory Peck playing Atticus Finch: great men and heroes of a long-forgotten stature. Today, everyone's an environmentalist astronaut saving Planet Earth from global warming and asteroids.

    Bob Duvall's Gus McCrae is a monument to great acting and great storytelling.

    Nice video!

  • Thank you for your commentary, RestiveBob.

    And to think Robert Duvall was 'Boo Radley' in 'To Kill a Mockingbird, alongside the Great Greg!!

  • GREAT

    Thanks

  • great job! nicely done. thank you

  • Perfect song for gus!

  • presioza cancion para una presioza pelicula de gran elenco , nunca la olvidaremos pues yego en su momento y se mantiene igual bella creacion sin lugar a dudas ojala y que se siga manteniendo por siempre, de verdad,

  • I never thought anyone could LOVE Bobby Duvall/Gus as much as me. What a fabulous job you have done. I love it.

  • The world would be a better place if Gus McCrae were president! GREAT VIDEO!!

  • cowboy up

  • The greatest movie of all time. Gus and Call are like long lost family members I get to see every time I pull the DVD out! Love these guys!

  • i cannot pull this movie out of my dvd collection without watching the entire six hours of the damn movie. and it always makes me shed a tear. never gets old, one of the best movies ever

  • January 5th is Robert Duvalls birthday. this video is the perfict gift for him.

  • Excellent song choice here. Have to say, this is one of my favorite movies - and Duvall and TLJ are my two favorite actors...

  • This is awesome! great vid!

  • This video is AWESOME. I have loved Lonesome Dove since I first saw it and read the book. I have seen it so many times and love it so much it feels like Gus & Call are my "family"! Great job!

  • My mom has basically worshiped this book and then mini-series since the 80s, and because of her, I have been exposed to it. Gus (Duvall) is the man I want to be when I'm his age. thats all I will say.

  • Melissa,

    I want to see this in a "high quality version" Please...

    What software did you use to put this together? Outstanding award winning editing!!! You have captured it for all of us.

    Being Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for your vision!

  • Gus was such a rascally, lovable guy in this series. I taped it on VHS when it aired on tv and now have the DVD set. I bet I get the bug to watch it at least twice a year. Sometimes, I watch the whole thing start to finish! Wipe out a whole day!!

    Thanks for posting this. The music is amazingly fitting. Never would have guessed it without actually hearing it.

    VERY WELL DONE!!

  • I just wanted to thank you again for putting this together. I never get tired of watching it.

  • Thank you for the nice comment :)

  • To say that I was sceptical about the mix of that song with "Lonesome Dove" would be an understatement, but it DID work somehow! I've heard that not only did Robert Duvall say that this was his favorite role ever but that Shakespeare himself never created a character better than Augustus McCrae. It's such an amazing performance in such an outstanding film(I KNOW that it was technically a mini-series, but to ME it's an EPIC Film)that I recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

  • Agreed. Larry McMutry did a materful job on the novel and the mini seris was incredibile. Loved Gus.

  • " i god, that'll break my heart woodrow.."

  • AWSOME. Best movie ever, grew up watching it, never found a better movie or character

  • Song and video are so perfect. Best western ever made Lonesome dove forever thank you.
