Borgnines best role....surpassed only by Australian actor Frank Thring as King Aella..( owner of the wolf pit)
Not to be confused with The Longships...Widmark and Poitier which had some good moments but descended into a camp farce.
NO..my double feature would be The Vikings with Jason and The Argonauts (Ray Harryhausen dunamation version).

I couldn't stand the Long Ships.
That skeleton fight in Jason and the Argonauts is still the best special effects I've seen.

Borgnine's best role is in The Wild Bunch, the greatest western ever made!

 

[Prester John]

Borgnine's best role was Marty. Love the line: "You're not such a dog as you think you are". He was good as Willard's boss too. Heck, he was good in everything, like Michael Caine (the only good thing about Jaws 4).

I'll be on the lookout...also Borgsy was great as Cabby in Escape From New York.
and of course Commander McHale...

Weird black gloves, but this boy can eat! Great-looking Texas barbecue!

Thanks for the greetings, everyone!!

Better late than never, except it wasn't late!! This gift arrived ON my birthday!! (Saturday!!) But sat tantalizing me just over the border until I could get there today (Tuesday!!), and pick it up!! Will ( hose56 ) knew I missed these, but wanted one, and he thoughtfully sent me one!!
(Got that stubborn knot out!!)
Sigh - - no longer a safe queen!!

NO..my double feature would be The Vikings with Jason and The Argonauts (Ray Harryhausen dunamation version).

I consider myself lucky to have seen them both on the big screen (Ray Harryhausen is a Legend), but I think I'd pair The Vikings with Spartacus, just for the Curtis/Douglas interaction

Heck, he was good in everything, like Michael Caine (the only good thing about Jaws 4).

Like Michael Caine, I didn't see it, but in an interview he said something like, "I don't remember it, they say it was very bad. But I do remember the house it bought, and it's stunning!"

Edit - Here we go, nearly got it right! Different interview though

He was pretty good in the Poseidon Adventure too

That is soooo Michael Caine

I once read (in one of the Knives annuals) that America's obsession with martial arts, and all things Samurai, started at the exact moment that Spencer Tracey chopped Ernest Borgnine down to size!

I'm afraid to watch the clip I've never seen Bad Day at Black Rock. I intend to correct this deficiency in my character at some future time. If for no other reason than its one of the best movie titles ever
Any spoilers in the clip?

There ARE spoilers in the clip, I just figured everyone had seen the movie! It's a classic, ignore the clip, watch the movie

I once used the title for an article about a rotten place, with the same name, near Brighton, England

Look what I found on the wall of a restaurant this morning:

I had to get it!

Paid $20 for it. The waitress had never heard of Charles Bronson!
