Anyone here into "Westerns"?

[PanzerMeyer]

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.

You forgot Blazing Saddles.

i love westerns...

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.
