If this was Best Gratuitous Use of a Packer, I'd say "There's Something About Mary."

But I don't know nothin' bout no stinkin' Cowboys.

Go Eagles!

Though I'm not a big fan of the movie, Mulholland Drive's cowboy is one of the most memorable characters ever, IMO.

I would have to say Mulholland Drive for movies, and Cactus Jack from television. I will be disappointed if the new Garfield movie doesn't include him.

Michael Madsen better be an awesome cowboy in Kill Bill vol. 2.  He has the hat and the look.

Definetly... that guy freaked me out!  The way he was lit at that corral... that was downright scary.

This is kind of weird.....I just got through watching Mulholland Drive and then Boogie Nights again just before I logged on here.  :shock:

Damn, those are both awesome movies in their own respect. In BN, I liked the presence of Nina Hartely as Bill's "always busy" wife and Lil Sinderella. The latter is the Col.'s guest he brings to the pool party....the rail thin blonde. And not to forget Summer C. and Skye. Some may know who I am talking about.

Can you give me just a minute........can you do that for me?

No, seriously, I casted my vote for Lynch b/c he is my favorite director. I forgot to mention who I voted for in my first post. My sig kind of gives it away.

add:

Frank Booth - his signature character, so to speak
"So f'ing suave" Ben
Jack Nance's characters
small guy from "another world" in Twin Peaks who also was Mr. Roque  in MD
all the freaks in WAH.....Lula's mom, NOLA jazz bar squawker, and Mr. Reindeer's hitsquad.

In case you haven't noticed, my avatar is Peru's head getting blown off from his own shotgun as he gets shot from coming out of the bank robbery. I'm sure everyone has had enough of it by now.

I voted for Big Lebowski, because The Cowboy in Mulholland Drive has a ranch and all.And he's scary. The one in Lebowski... well... I just don't know why the hell he's there, but he just cracks me up. Soooooo..... I'm voting for the cowboy who cracks me up because cowboys aren't supposed to make you laugh.
And if you think this post doesn't make much sense, well, then... uh... I lost my train of thought here...
