He died at age 95, and has been in so many great roles. Most like his performance best in Apocalypse Now, or the Godfather series, which I can't disagree with. Others point to the Lonesome Dove series...

I liked him best in the western, Open Range.

Which is your favorite?

Open Range is pretty good. I like watching old movies from before my time. The practical sets, and massive cast to make Ben-Hur, and Wizard of Oz will always beat the CGI slop of today imo. As for Duval, I liked that movie he did with Paul Newman. It was a western, but I can't think of the name of it. There's that famous scene where Newman low blows Ted Cassidy.

True Grit is a great movie as well.

*My bad. That movie was with Robert Redford, not Robert Duval. It was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

We lost Robert Redford a few months ago, and now Robert Duval. RIP gentlemen.

Thanks, Charles.

So many terrific movies - The Apostle was one of his best.

Saw this in the theater when I was 12. Double bill w/Dirty Harry. Fifth avenue cinema in Portland. It never gets old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atMdf0rhbpI

He was in many very good movies, if you like Open Range, then you have to like the Lonesome Dove mini series.

I always laugh during the Open Range gunfight scene. Charley Waite’s (Costner) Colt revolver has a seemingly endless supply of ammo. Seems like he racks off 16 to 18 shots without reloading, fans about 8 to 9 rounds into one guy. I will generally rewatch it I have the time.

Another good role was in the Great Santini. He definitely is an unlikeable character, but in line with his characters hard nosed style as a leader of men, he performs a selfless act of heroism at the end. A bit of an emotional rollercoaster.

Being a cantankerous old man, I can most relate to Duvall in Secondhand Lions.
