The Last Western You Watched ?

[Phantom Stranger]

Howdy Everyone,

Nice new site you have here, so I think I'll move this thread over here from the old place. So, plain and simple what was the last western movie you watched? Here's mine:

"Appaloosa"(2008)
-Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen

Plot Synopsis: IMDB

New Mexico.Territory.1882. Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch are itinerant lawmen, hired by desperate towns as marshal and deputy. The city fathers of Appaloosa hire them after Randall Bragg, a newly-arrived rancher with money and a gang of thugs, disrupts commerce and kills three local lawmen. Cole and Hitch contrive to arrest Bragg and bring him to trial, but hanging him proves difficult. Meanwhile, a widow has arrived in town, Allison French, pretty, refined, and good-natured. Virgil falls hard, and it seems mutual, but there may be more to Allie than meets the eye.

Phantom's Review: I loved this movie ! Great acting from all the stars, beautifully filmed and a nice balance of action and humor. A wonderful western.

Last one I watched? Just finished season two of Deadwood.
Now I need to go back and watch each episode again with the commentary on.

I need to see Appaloosa.

Open Range, what a great movie, sure would be nice if there was a sequal, the ending to the movie left the door open for one pmpazen

my absolute favorite

[C. F. 'Charley' Eckhardt]

You realize, I hope, that the fence-cutters were criminals.  Most of 'em didn't own a single acre of land.  They were grazing their cattle on other people's grass & watering them on other people's water.  When a rancher fenced in his land--to which he had legal title here in Texas--he cut them off from free grass & free water.  That led to the fencecutting wars in Texas, which the Rangers finally put a stop to.  If you want something stopped in Texas call in the Texas Rangers.  It'll stop.

In Open Range , as the name implies , it was open range.No one cut any fences. The cattlemen who went in and squatted on it first just didn't want anyone else using the same free grass and water . It was public land and belong to Federal Government/State.This was set in Colorado in early 1880's .

[Mike Minihan]

One of my favorites as well.......

A Fistful Of Dollars


classic

[Zane Smith]

"THE COMANCHEROS": Fun John Wayne movie. Not one bit of realism to be found! (including lever action repeating rifles in 1843), but when you watch it as pure escapism, like for example you'd watch the Indiana Jones movies, it can't be beat. Maybe not one of Duke's best, but one of his most entertaining Westerns.

[Cowboy Bill]

Lynda Crystal was in High Chaparral Ina Balin was in The Comancheros.Balin was popular in mostly tv ;but left her career to protect and resue children in South East Asia during the Viet Nam War.She had many dangerous mission and was at risk many times.A made for tv movie was made about her at a much laater time

"Saddle The Wind" (1958)
-Robert Taylor

Plot Synopsis: IMDB
Steve Sinclair (Robert Taylor) is a world a world-weary former gunslinger, now living as a peaceful cattle rancher. Things go wrong when his wild younger brother Tony (John Cassavetes) arrives on the scene with his new fiancee, a former saloon girl named Joan Blake (Julie London) and a tricked up six shooter.

Phantoms Review: Even thought the plot is not that original, this is a well made and very well acted film. Some good action and scenery and an enjoyable screenplay by Rod Serling.

[Jim Holden]

Yesterday I watched "Seven Men from Now" and the excellent documentary about it; followed by "Branded" with the ever enjoyable Alan Ladd and Mona Freeman (No Grammies for me). On Saturday I watched "White Feather" with Robert Wagner, but the DVD copy turned out to be "pan and scan" which detracted from the experience. It was one of those movies that tried to see the Indian point of view, but they still used non-Indian actors, so it didn't quite come off.
