Name them.
I got one: Tom Selleck in Lassiter (1983). 
Remember it? A cool pre-WWII spy thriller co-starring Jane Seymour & Lauren Hutton. And WTF it ain't on DVD yet I cannot fathom.
Next?

A made for tv movie from 1984. Shatner gets addicted to a hooker(Shepard).
Probably just a vehicle to show Cybil in Lingerie for two hours, but she does look sexy in it.
Available on dvd.

Never saw that one. Looks like it did have a full screen DVD release years ago, but it's long out of print.
Much like Selleck's other WWII era lost film, High Road to China.

I LOVED blood of Heroes.
I reccomend Six-String Samurai.

Gary Cooper in "Man of the West".
It had Julie London, Lee J. Cobb, and Jack Lord.

And I have to wonder if that's where they got THE Lassiter.
You know, the one that Inara thinks would be like fencing the Monawho.

Love High Road To China & Lassiter. Selleck never got the respect he deserved for those great movies. Some other favorites are:
Captains Of The Clouds - not generally considered one of Cagney's best, I love the movie because of the themes of courage and duty. Also the technicolor is brilliant.
The Mortal Storm - w/ Jimmy Stewart, Robert Young, Robert Stack, and a great supporting cast including the legendary Maria Ouspenskaya. Great anti-Nazi film that chronicles the early days of Hitler, and his impact on regular folk. Very powerful.
The Flamingo Kid - long-forgotten Matt Dillan movie that I never get tired of. With Richard Crenna, Hector Elizondo, and a great cast of young unknowns. Simple movie about coming of age in 1963 Brooklyn. For me, Matt Dillan never did better. And I can relate to the "beach club" scene of the 60's on Long Island.
