Speak for yourself: I look like this all the time.

Unfortunately, neither do women. We’re all slobs now!

True … Fortunately we still have James Bond …

Men don’t dress that way anymore, either.

Actually, toscanini9, I have a BA and MA in film and a PHD in English Literature, so I do consider myself qualified to debate with some authority the subject at hand. I am also an award winning editor. The achievements of my family, who include both BAFTA award winning and Academy Award nominated producers and production designers have no merit here.
And I reiterate, even with your new definition of the term ‘cowboy’, it still does not apply in your original context.
Good day to you sir.

FYI n.
1. A hired man, especially in the western United States, who tends cattle…
2. An adventurous hero.
3. Slang A reckless person, such as a driver, pilot, or manager, who ignores potential risks.
If you had a pair of PhD’s and a famiily that included a CEO of a major studio and a producer with films in the AFI 100, someone might pay attention to you. Cinema is NOT the highest form of art. Sir, you are both immature and boring; end of discussion.

So for the record, when it comes to discussing a.) Film history and cinema, which is the highest form of art. And b.) Correct use of the English language – then yes, toscanini9 I do take things seriously.
And my youtube name is ‘peckmard’ not ‘pedkmard’. It’s that kind of attention to detail which underlines your inherent ignorance.

In the history of the English language, both past and present, the term cowboy never has and never will be used to differentiate between
action films and drama in a coat and tie.

cow⋅boy noun
1. a man who herds and tends cattle on a ranch, esp. in the western U.S., and who traditionally goes about most of his work on horseback.

Sorry my friend – Cowboy was used to differentiate between action films and drama in a coat and tie. Methinks pedkmards takes one’s self far too seriously.

Are you serious?
You should do your research before commenting on film history. Ever hear of The Great Escape? Steve McQueen was in that seminal WW2 film. Not to mention Hell is For Heroes, The War Lover and The Blob. All of which predate the Thomas Crown Affair and none of which are westerns.

Great score–cast, great game, great moves and men dont kiss like that ANYMORE!!

Thank you for sharing this, Arriegua1. This is considered by many to be one of the ten greatest scenes in American film history. It was McQueen’s first non-cowboy role and a follow-up for Faye after Bonnie and Clyde. I went to college with Faye; she dated my roommate. Thank you again…….”Go Gators!”

Last tournament I was in, I tried listening to this background music on headphones, thinking it would improve my game. Of course, I couldn’t anticipate that my opponent would be a fat middle aged Russian with beard stubble, who kept looking at me oddly when I was seductively stroking my chin between moves.

Wow, that was so sophisticated and seductive. I was born in the wrong era. This is how it should be, done, slow and intense not just ripping each others clothes off.

Daniel Craig should play McQueen in a biopic
