Anyone here into "Westerns"?

I'm currently watching a John Ford movie called "The Searchers". This one has John Wayne in the lead role. I have never been much into Westerns before but this one is excellent so far. I'm about halfway through the movie and I'm really into the story so far.


I watched the "Unforgiven" a few years ago but I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

Sure, Firefly. :)


I also enjoyed Maverick, with Gibson, Foster, and the original Maverick, Garner. Another Garner flick I liked was Support Your Local Sheriff. I think Support Your Local Gunfighter was related, but I never saw it.

i love westerns...

most if not all of the clint eastwood westerns, even though many of them are of the spaghetti western class...

i have a dvd of lonesome dove movie i think? i have not had time to open it and check it out...and since Nidia does not really like them all that much it sits for now...

what are the two more recent ones about the Earp's? One is called Tombstone and I forgot the other. I liked both.

Tombstone is excellent. Val Kilmer was simply hilarious in that movie. I have not seen "Wyatt Earp" with Kevin Costner but I heard the movie totally bombed at the box office.

Gwangi = allosaurus! You ain't seen a Western 'til you've seen one with cowboys trying to rope a wild allosaurus!

Rowdy: In all my travels I never seen anything like that two-ton lizard. If we could just get him back alive.
Tuck: Yeah, the only thing I want to get back alive is me.

ps: No dinosaurs, but 'Lonesome Dove' with Tommy Lee Jones and Robert DuVall is a dang fine example of a Western.

Westerns - old movies with good solid values to teach young kids. Have to say, although I was tortured as a kid, by my father and his love of the old westerns - I sat and watched, and inevitably enjoyed most of them anyway. :wink:
