Anyone watching in 2024?

I love how the room goes deathly quiet when Tom locks that door . A powerful moment.

Tommy was no coward, he's the true definition of a real man. Any woman that gets a man like Tommy is truly blessed. This was a really good movie, RIP Kenny Rodgers.

"A man's lucky to love one good woman in his life... especially one that loves him back ...to have somebody that cares about you is the most important thing in the world." Ain't that the truth.

I was honor to meet Kenny Rogers, his grandmother and a few of his family back in the late 90's, My mother-n-law's sister lived next door to Mr. Rogers grandmother in Crockett TX, and we were honored to have Thanksgiving dinner with them. I sat for hrs talking to Mr. Rogers, one of the most kindest and heartwarming man I ever met. I will always remember and cherish that moment in time with him and his family. I tear up just thinking about him being gone now. Sing high Mr. Rogers. Thank You for all the great songs, movies and your kind heart. R I P..

That one of the best movies I have watched in a long time. Rest in Oeace Kenny Rogers

I discovered this film whilst randomly listening to Kenny Rogers songs with my children after hearing about his sad passing. I've known the lyrics to Coward of the County since I was about 10 years old, and never knew this film existed. It's superb, so glad I know about it now.

Raise your hand if like me you didn't know Kenny Rogers was a hell of an actor aside being the best country music artist!

Anyone watching in 2020? I heard the song and when I found out about the movie I couldn’t wait to watch it

God Bless the family of Kenny Rogers as they go through this difficult time. Love his music He will truly be missed. R. I. P. Kenny Rogers, Thank you for your wonderful music.

Yes watching this in 2020 on the sad day of Kenny's passing. Awesome singer and actor. You'll be missed Sir.

This song will never fade nor pass away... from generation to generation...

I had no idea Kenny was such a goddamn good actor. R.I.P.

I have seen all of Kenny Rogers' movies now. He was such a good actor, so natural, a very talented man. I only wish there were more to watch!

Like, if you 're here to watch movie in memory Kenny Rogers.

Timeless movie: Bullies. War. Love. Redemption. Tommy was never a coward IMO it takes more of a man to walk away than fight, but when they hurt the one you love all hell breaks loose! Kenny Rogers at his peak during this time with his acting and singing! Haven’t seen this since I was a kid thanks for uploading!

Awww.... Kenny Rogers when he looked like Kenny Rogers !!

The best country singer story teller ever. His songs and stories will live forever R.I.P. The legendary Kenny Rogers!!! You will forever be in our hearts and ears...

This was a good movie that the whole family can enjoy! Rest in paradise, Mr. Rogers.

One of the best movie’s ever made!! Rest In Peace Kenny Rogers.

We will miss that soft and husky voice. The melody , expression while he was alive and singing will never fade away. .

wow, I've always loved the song (I swear I've cried listening to it) and I always thought how great it would be as a movie - not knowing one already existed! I haven't finished watching it, and I am the LEAST violent person alive, but I can't wait to see Tommy KICK THEIR ASSES!!! LOL when he says "this one's for Becky, as he watched the last one fall" yo go Tommy!!!

funny I did not know how much this movie influenced me...I saw it one time when I was a teen when it first came on tv and have not seen it since...I became a minister and I was a grace teacher , funny that a lot of what Kenny said here I used in my lessons...and how I tried to live my life as a person of integrity...very good movie...they should show it as a lesson in 7th or 8th grade about once a moth so kids today will really know what it is like 2b a man...I am saving this in my you tube account thx PopStirizE :)

Rest in peace you masterpiece of a person, Kenny Rogers you will be missed.

RIP Kenny. You were one of the best. You’ll always be a legend.

Sadly I lost my lovely Dad on the 20th of January 😔 about 20 years ago Dad said he wanted Islands in the Stream to be his funeral song, Dad loved it and I remember how his face and eyes would light up whenever he heard it, he would sing along with a huge grin on his face 😊 we did play it at Dad’s funeral and all I could see was Dad smiling and singing along ~ Rest in Peace my lovely Dad ~ miss you every day ❤️ ~ Rest in Peace Kenny Rogers ~ thank you for your beautiful music and especially for Islands in the Stream 💜

It was indeed sad to hear of Kenny Rodgers passing. You are a great Country singer. Very meaningful in all his songs. RIP, Kenny. God Will Lift you Up.

ALWAYS LOVED KENNY ROGERS. ESPECIALLY COWARD OF THE COUNTY AND THE GAMBLER! THIS IS A MUST WATCH!

RIP Kenny you'll be missed by many.friends ,Family and fans.

Even God will defend His own, Always defend your own!!!

Kenny Rogers was so good looking during this time

All these many years i loved Kenny so much and this song i didnt know there was a movie to it I love the Gambler and Six Pack Kenny may your soul rest in peace ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔💔🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲.

I love the song...never knew there was a movie about it...im excited to watch this for the first time.

...."He your Savior wants to be, - be saved today..." Raised on those words! Makes me miss my sweet Daddy! Hard to see kenny rogers as a preacher though lol

Loved the song....Neve knew it was a movie.....I'm gonna watch it

Just watched this movie...had no idea it even existed! It is really beautiful...thank you Kenny Rogers, may the heavens receive your exceptional soul.

Everyone considered him The coward of the county! Immortal lyrics from one of the greatest musical storytellers of our time! He will truly be missed. RIP Mr Rogers.

"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done I walk away from trouble when I can Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek And papa, I sure hope you understand Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"

Right from the opening bars the song enchants me. So does Kenny Rogers.

awesome a preacher that left the church due to feeling conviction from breaking the very commandments he was preaching about then returning knowing he'll become a righteous man instead. Great true story,enjoyed

Saw this when I was a kid.I liked the part where calling him names as walked to the door.When they heard those lock on the door.That took the smiles offeverybody faces.And the look of pure shock on that guys face.Tommy grab by the shirt and pulled him away from the bar.Great movie even it if it was a made for t.v. movie.

I have had the privilege of seeing Kenny Rogers 6 times in concert he did a movie on the gambler coward of the county and six pack the gambler had 4 movies to it.

I remember watching this on TV as a kid. Loved the song. RIP Kenny. The G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time)

Kenny Rogers was who I saw at my very first "real" concert ever. The year was1982, and I was nine years old...Charlotte Coliseum in Charlotte, NC. I did not appreciate his music back then, but eventually fell in love with him. All these years later, and I still love him! I just turned forty-four. ;) God bless Mr. Rogers for giving us so many years of awesomeness!

I still love Kenny Rogers Music. That's forever. He is still Kenny Rogers, aged and all he is today, he is a legend.

Kenny Rogers was a good Uncle!!

The innocencs portrayed here is just great. Life was indeed hard, but youthfulness had its place, too. Growing up, and just being who you were. Learning more and more about yourself as you grew, both physically and mentally. Learning about whats important in life - whether you knew it or not. Thanks so much for sharing.

I thought it was just a song, listening to it from Kenny (may his soul rest in peace) I was imagining a movie for it. And here I am, watching and Kenny is in here. Thank You!

I grew up in the 60's and 70's and no one locked their churches back then that I knew of. You could go there at 2 a.m., open the door and go in and pray. Don't ask me how I know.

What a great film! I didn't know it existed but the song has always been a great favorite of mine and I'm pleased that the film lived up to the song. Thank you so much for putting this little gem up for us all to enjoy.

Kenny Rodgers will always remind me of my mom she loved him all throughout my childhood years. Watching for her. She passed 2.20.23. Love you momma.

Kenny Rogers is accually a good actor. This is pretty a good movie.

Kenny Rogers really kicks ass

The Coward of The County song gives me goosebumps. It is a wonderful song. Interesting that a movie was made from a song. Much like the movie made for the song Ode To Billy Joe. Songs made into movies.

I was watching another video when my mind went back to the bar fight at the end. It is 2024 and I just finished watching this movie for maybe the 10th time. Kenny Rogers will be missed, his contributions to music will be celebrated long after all of us are gone. With that said I want to discuss this movie and the story. I was thinking about my encounter with a Southern Pacific Rattlesnake one evening in California back in the late 1970s. This snake was large. I would imagine nearly 4 feet long. With a venom yield more than enough to plant me 6 feet in the ground. This snake is known for not leaving an encounter, but after about a minute we both went in the opposite direction. I had a sidearm. Both of us had the means to end the other. I left it be and returned to the roadway. Sadly because a lot of fights involve alcohol people lose their sense. Today at 66 I have a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, as well as years of training in Hapkido. I am low-keyed and would rather escape a bad situation if allowed to do so. Because of my inner peace, I don't need to "win" a fight. In fact, I consider a fight not fought a "win". in some respects, in this, I identify with "Tommy" from this story. Unfortunately, some confuse a reluctance to fight with a fear of fighting. Most times this is alcohol driven. Many years ago I was placed in this position. Then the men also blocked my escape route. That man today sadly is forced to use a walking cane. When it was over the man was on the ground holding his knee and the other two backed way off, and about 15 minutes later the cops came. There were enough witnesses that I was not charged, but to this day I feel terrible. About a week later I was in the living room of the man that trained me on my knees crying.

This is my first time seeing this movie, I was stationed overseas when it came out. I have to say that I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for bringing it to us.

I payed money to have this on dvd and it’s here

Kenny Rogers is one of the best and most successful singers, of the 20th century, and he has done some good on screen work, too, as an actor...Rap and country music artists seem to have a natural inclination, towards acting, and, usually, do very well at it...Will Smith, Kris Kristofferson, Ludacris and Kenny are prime examples, of this fact

I always liked Kenny Rodgers music all the way back to The First Addition and all of his films. He will be greatly missed but he left behind enough that we will always remember him RIP KENNY

R.I.P kenney brother ❤🎸👍🙏. Thankyou for your music ledgion. You picked a fine time to leave us kenny Rodgers 😂

Love this movie, and his music since 1968. Ive seen this movie before he passed. I actually love all his movies ❤ 💖 👀 🎼 🎵 🎶 🎤

Loved Kenny's acting as much as his singing💕 and he had a great sense of humor🤗

We all need a Tommy The bar tender enjoys the brawl and they have completely destroyed the saloon. Kenny Rogers was so good looking during this time

Anyone watching now in 2019👍

In the song Kenny rogers never mentioned in the song that he was in a brawl himself!!! This explains why he says I "heard him say" I promised you dad not to do the things you've done" Turns out he was one badass Uncle!

You can still turn the other check and still stand up for what you believe in!!😍...?in the south...we still can turn 'em up!!😍😍

RIP Kenny Rogers God has his Special Place in Heaven for you My prayers go out to your Family may god give them comfort during their Grief you have been awesome country singer God bless you in heaven sir . do me a favor sir let me know my mom and daddy are ok in heaven Thank you sir

The world just isn´t the same without Kenny Rogers. R.I.P 🎙️🎵

I love how Tommy joined the Marines. And the Gatlons went with the Army. Real men get it . lol

Anyone watching now in 2020 👍

Kenny Rogers is one of the Best Musical🎶 Talents that God ever blessed us with❣️May he rest in peace in Heaven and sing in God's ✝️Holy Choir, AMEN

Right now 8pm, I watching this COWARD OF THE COUNTY MOVIE on you tube and I really enjoying the movie. I have enjoyed The Gambler, and The Six Pack, Awesome movies. Tills from NZ

Bully's are bully's because they are Insecure, no confidence They are lost and scared That people will find out . Good movie , Kenny Rogers is great actor and Singer . Thank you to the Entire cast great movie .

While I AM a gaming you-tuber by the age of only 15 I've come to love old-style movies and old-fashioned country music, and to see a movie like this put up on a website where new-aged games and other technological advances rule it makes me one of the happiest people alive to see this put up, and for that I thank you. Also in all of my 15 years on this earth I've learned in life that you don't always need to fight pointless fights just because someone is questioning your manhood, in fact I always avoid fighting fights that aren't necessary which in those situations makes me (or you if you do the same) the bigger person because in the end you're the one who will win without even a single ounce of real trouble.

An excellent movie with traditional family values. I loved it.

Cant believe I sat and watched this whole movie!Well worth it!Took me back as being a kid.Kenny Rodgers looked so much better back in them days without all that plastic!

I love Kenny Rodgers and his music

Don't blink or you'll miss me twelve (12) times! HA!® I earned my Screen Actors Guild (SAG) card in this 1981 CBS-TV Movie of the Week, Coward of the County!

The Roger's Family, Lionel Ritchie and the world has suffered a great loss here. They don't make music like this anymore. Even as a person, you always heard kind things about Kenny. Rest Well Kenny. The Title Track to this movie should be required listening. 🙏🏾🕊

Prayers for Kenny's family during this time. RIP..

I have always liked Kenny Rogers,the 1st edition when they were together . Then when he went on his own I still like the music,movies he made . He's a really fantastic singer, actor . All of your fans still love you Kenny . They admire you for the person you are . I love you for wonderful person that you are at singing,acting .

This was an excellent story and Kenny Rogers played his part very well. Tommy was never a coward and the Gatlin brothers were mean spirited bullies who ended up getting their just desserts. In the bible, if a soldier was newly wed, he did not have to report for duty until after a year. Also, if a boy is an only son he can have an exemption so his line can continue. Too many war brides became widows, unnecessarily during WWII.

God still works. There is nothing like the verse of the bible which says "be still and know I am God"

Me too I searched for this One! . My mother listened to Kenny Rogers! R.I.P. Mr Rogers

I love this movie from when I was 16. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for sharing this awesome movie, PopStirizE. It's refreshing to see some decent movies are still being posted. I've always loved Kenny Rogers and I finally got to see him in '98.

Kenny, oh Kenny, WHY did you have to leave us??😭😭😭😭 But I guess that's the circle of life, you get born, live your life and eventually die. It's all about what you do, or don't do, in the interem, and what legacy you leave!! I at least have ALL of your records ever made in my inventory to comfort me!! From vinal to CD, each and every one!! You tought me HOW MANY lessons in my life through your songs!! EVERY TIME!! You will live forever in my heart and in my music collection, and I guess in MILLIONS of other hearts all over the world!! Rest in peace brother, until we meet again in the Heavenly Kingdom! When it's my time to sing : " Somewhere in the darkness, the Gambler he broke even, but in his final words I found an ACE that I could keep!!" I SURE found an ACE in your songs bro!!❤❤❤❤

Kenny Rogers your so right my Man /// when I first heard * The Coward of the County !!! it spoke to me 😃 because I have fought some , and I have lost some & I have tyed some BC / I mainly done all that fighting stuff when I was younger & fighting is not easy & so anyways...so like now I'm like 36 years old , so anyways the last time I was engaged in a fight this guy I admit I had to turn the other cheek " because the guy could have pulled out a knife or gun * so anyways sometimes you gotta to turn the other cheek or be killed or use your Smartness BC / when somebody does a Good person wrong 😇 God has a way of Showing people in their wrong Amen !!!!

I can watch this movie all day and never get tired of it.

*OUR LEGEND NOW IS IN HEAVEN. A NEW START FROM HEAVEN TO HAVE A CONCERT WITH THE ANGELS AND GODS ABOVE* #R.I.PTOTHELEGEND #KENNYROGERS

Thanks for the many years of great singing and great entertainment. Wished I got to see him in concert, but never made it, with so many others like Frank Sinatra etc.... His movies and singing will be missed. But his songs and him being an American icon will live forever. Kenny Rogers RIP.

RIP Kenny.. you're loved.. you knew when to hold em.. knew when to fold em.. and helped Ruby take her love to town.. thankyou for the music and the memories..

Absolutely great 👍 Honestly has no idea there was a movie to the song of coward of the county . Added bonus to have Kenny in it . Great singer and so handsome . ❤️❤️🎶🎶

I miss Kenny alot. Just knowing he is gone is hard. He was one of the greatest

Kenny Rogers, "call some movie producers up, I'm thinking about writing some songs"💯

I've been watching TV for years but this TV movie was great and the stars are Kenny Rogers, Fredric Lehne, Largo Woodruff Thanks for the upload Pop Stirze Ed

I love the pair of Dolly and Kenny
