Urban Cowboy-TexasMovie Comments & Discussion
This is my favorite movie of all time with roots close to home as I grew up in Houston Texas and my uncle lived in Pasadena Tx. his whole life and was a friend of Mickey Gilley's. When I would visit him in Pasadena we would go to Gilley's and I would ride that bull. Texas is full of big dance halls like this and now that I am single again I always seem to find my way back to these places. I am very proud of my Texas roots!
