LONESOME DOVE (1989)
There was no way they were gonna squeeze Larry McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel into a two-hour film. That's why God (or was it Brandon Tartikoff?) created the TV miniseries. Is eight hours' worth of cattle drives, stampedes, and shootouts too much? Not when the ornery Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall (pictured, with Rick Schroder) are in the saddle. You'll want to rent this one, then call in ''sick'' for a couple of days.
