If it's a western movie with John Wayne or Clint Eastwood in it, then I watch it.
Then again I will watch any movie that those two are in.

I wish somebody would make a good movie out of Have Gun, Will Travel...

:tpd: The plot build up in Tombstone really holds my interest! I really like that they used the (slang) language of the period!

It's called 800 Bullets. Here's a link.
It's definately worth the $1.99 at Blockbuster. One of the user comments on that page I linked says "A touching and funny homage to Spaghetti Westerns and film-making in general."
It's exactly that. It's not going to win any awards, but it pleasantly surprised me. I'd love to sit and watch it again. :tu

Just added it to the list; thanks Scott! :tu

I love HGWT ( have gun will travel ) as a kid. You know you can watch the first season for free on cbs.com under their old shows. There are about 38 shows to watch and I did a marathon one night.

Loved Kurt Russel in Tombstone,,,thought it was better than Wyatt Earp with Costner. For real westerns and good ones I gotta go with Sam Peckinpah and Butch and Sundance.

Holy Crapola! How did I miss this thread before. As many here I love westerns also. Can watch any Duke, Eastwood or Duval western any time it is on.

True Grit: John Wayne and Duval in the same movie. Primo

The Cheyenne Social Club with Stewart and Fonda is a good one often over looked.

The Last Wagon with another great actor Richard Widmark

Tombstone 12-22-2008 09:24 AM

Re: Western Movies
 
Just watched Cowboys staring John Wayne. Great Movie!!:cb

I've read through this thread and tend to agree with a lot of these movies. However, my father-in-law is the ultimate western freak and his list would go on for pages. Nine times out of ten if he's watching tv, it's a western or a western tv show. His satellite only needs a couple of channels for him to be happy. I've watched westerns that I never knew existed with him, to the point of believing I've seen some of them twice. You wouldn't believe how many black and white westerns follow the same theme and plot.

I'm a fan of period pieces generally, just add Dances With Wolves to the mix.

Watched The Assassination of Jess James by the Coward Robert Ford last week. That too.
