Answers:
If you mean Burt LanCAster, then try "Vera Cruz", in that he is both the villian and good guy getting ready to steal gold in Mexico!.!.!. short but good cowboy movieWww@Enter-QA@Com

For adventure, "Vera Cruz" is good, but "The Professionals" with Burt, Lee Marvin, Woody Strode, Ralph Bellamy, and the lovely Claudia Cardinale is a GREAT film! also try "The Train," a WWII film!.

For drama, "From Here to Eternity" tells one of the best stories ever told on film! also, check out a sleeper called "Local Hero!." And of course, he played Doc in "Field of Dreams!."

Greatest Films

In 1952, Lancaster made the film Come Back, Little Sheba with actress Shirley Booth!. Twenty years later, Lancaster would call Booth the finest actress he had ever worked with!. His portrayal of a middle-aged alcoholic surprised audiences and displayed his acting abilities and willingness not to be typecast!. Of this shift in his career, he later said, in an article in Films and Filming, "Suddenly they began to think of me as a serious actor!."

In 1953, Lancaster starred in From Here to Eternity as Sgt!. Warden, a tough, serious soldier who falls in love with his commanding officer's wife!. The film contains one of the most famous love scenes of all times, with Lancaster and his co-star Deborah Kerr kissing on a beach as waves wash over them!. From Here to Eternity earned more money than any other film in the history of Columbia Pictures to that point!. Lancaster won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for the best actor of 1953!. He was nominated for, but did not win, the Academy Award for best actor of that year!.

In 1954, Lancaster directed his first movie, The Kentuckian, in which he also starred!. Directing had been a dream of his, but after the lukewarm reception the film received, Lancaster was terribly disappointed and directed only one other movie, The Midnight Man, in 1974!.

Lancaster starred in Elmer Gantry, (1960), about a larger-than-life evangelist!. Later Lancaster was to say that of all the roles he had played, Elmer Gantry was the most like himself!. Gary Fishgall wrote in Against Type: The Biography of Burt Lancaster, "If one had to chose a single picture from the prime of Lancaster's career to define the essence of his stardom, Elmer Gantry would be that film!." For his work in the film Lancaster won the New York Film Critics Award for best actor of 1960, the Golden Globe for best motion picture actor in a drama, for 1960, and the Academy Award for best actor of 1960!.

In late 1960, Lancaster began filming Birdman of Alcatraz, in which he plays a prisoner who raises birds!. Lancaster became very emotionally involved with his role!. "One of the problems an actor faces, and it's a very dangerous thing, is to get so involved in a role he loses control of what he is doing!. With Birdman of Alcatraz, I couldn't stop crying throughout the film," Lancaster explained in Take 22: Moviemakers on Moviemaking!. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Robert Stroud!.

Lancaster began filming Judgment at Nuremberg in early 1961!. The movie detailed the 1948 war crimes trial of four Nazi judges!. Lancaster played Ernst Janning, but was not popular in the role!.!.!.
