They don't make enough "Westerns" today...


Sep 28, 2016, 9:44 PM

So I got sucked into "Open Range" which is my current favorite western of all time. Charlie said to Sue, "Men are going to get killed here today Sue, and I'm gonna kill them! You understand that?" This is one of my most favoritest scenes from a western ever. Just one among many...

Is it a soap?


Sep 29, 2016, 9:28 AM

If it's not a soap I can watch it. I will not watch something that's going to drag out for five or ten years.

Augustus McCrea is one of my all time favorite characters


Sep 28, 2016, 9:55 PM

If not my absolute favorite. IMHO, it doesn't get any better than Lonesome Dove. Not really a movie, but whatever.

Before I met my wife I watched it twice in a row (not a typo) while drinking beers with my friends in TX. That was abt an 11/10. Wood dew again.

Lonesome Dove is timeless.

Truly timeless, even my babies can enjoy it.

If a Terence Hill movie came to the theater when I was a kid


Sep 29, 2016, 8:32 AM [ in reply to Well here is a gunfight scene for you... ]

then I was there. Usually, we'd get a Terence Hill-Bud Spencer double feature about once or twice a year. And years later, I found Hill's Canadian TV show Lucky Luke in the budget DVD bin and bought all those to watch with Joonyer when he was little.

I'll definitely check that out, never heard of it before.

@camcgee mentioned Bone Tomahawk yesterday, which is an excellent and unique horror-western. Plus is has Kurt Russell. And Neanderthal caveman cannibals.

ringofhonor-rhtig.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


This one is more visually stunning with great writing.


Sep 29, 2016, 9:12 AM

Still a western with loads of gunfights and horses though.

The Salvation is another good one I saw recently. About an immigrant who comes over to settle in the west and has to avenge a death. Solid.

Wanted Dead or Alive is one of my favorites.

True Grit with Jeff Bridges was very good.


Sep 29, 2016, 8:59 AM

Love that kind of dialogue.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes indeed.


Sep 29, 2016, 9:12 AM

I still think the original John Wayne movie was better, and the dialogue in it was excellent, but both had the same pace and phrasing that truly sets them apart from typical westerns. Tombstone very much falls into that same category as far as dialogue goes.
