His novel "Texasville" was also turned into a movie in 1987.Texasville is a good example of how his backround is constantly effecting his work. Texasville is about a young cattle rancher and his adventures on the prarie. His novel "The Last Picture Show," written in 1966 was made into a motion picture in 1971.

"All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers" in 1972, and "Terms of Endearment" in 1975, were all eventually turned into motion pictures by 1983 .
