Posted these in the other thread:
Jeremiah Johnson is one of my favorite western films. Redford put in a great acting performance - pretending that he actually liked & used guns as tools.
Agreed on Lonesome Dove.
The Shootist - that should've been an Oscar-winner for the Duke (I didn't care that much about true Grit).
The Searchers - another great one, but sorry - West Texas doesn't look like Monument Valley.
How the West Was Won.
Never have seen Monte Walsh.
Tombstone wasn't bad for a 1990s film.
The Sacketts.
Quigley
North To Alaska (for a humorous film).
And it is my pleasure to add...
"She Wore a Yellow Ribbon".A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition

I really liked Burt Lancaster in "Valdez Is Coming"Originally posted by jg rider View Post
For some reason, two Brando movies I think worth watching just popped into my head: "The Appaloosa" and "Missouri Breaks"

That notch in the rail is supposed to be there
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

For comedy, Going South. Jack Nickolsen, Mary Stemburgen.
Steve McQueen did a few good ones but I can't think of any names.Comment

I just remembered High Noon.Comment

Ah yes ! The Valdez rifle with it's special loads
I forgot about Valdez, Susan Clark played in that one. And Missouri Breaks, another good one. . I just watch another western a few nights ago called Tell Them Willy Boy is here. Clark played in it with Redford, Blake, Katherine Ross
I was confused about The Appaloosa with Brando. For a while I had it mixed up with the movie Appaloosa with Mortenson & Harris
I don't think I ever saw that Brando movieComment

Although not a true western I do like Hildago w/ Mortenson.
It has lots of horses which I love, like Bite the Bullet. And actors that can really ride.
My eyes are getting teary thinking about all the horses we had. It a b$#ch getting old and the knees giving out.Comment

sounds like you respected those horses and they you as well. You will ride them again while they wait for you on the other side of the rainbow bridge.Originally posted by jg rider View PostI am the Living ManComment

I also like Hidalgo but #1 is Silverado and #2 is Open Range. I like a lot of westerns from Eastwood and The Duke but I watch Silverado every 6 months. I like Open Range because of Duvall and the gunfights which are pretty realistic.Sent from the ethers by magic.
