What Was The Last Western You Watched?

THE DAWN RIDER (2012)

The remake of the old John Wayne Lone Star Western from the 30's. This one stars Christian Slater and Donald Sutherland.

BAD MOVIE! I thought if they just had to remake old movies, then remake the old B Westerns. That way they could flesh out the characters a little more and add a little depth to the story. BUT NO! THEY ACTUALLY MADE IT WORSE!

This one was poorly written, the acting wasn't much, and, well, it was just bad all the way around! Why do they have to use the "F Word" so much! It just makes the dialog sound so idiotic!

Also, a very dull ending....I missed the big fight scene and Yakima Canutt Stunt work!!!

Makes me appreciate the old "Lone Star Oaters" a little bit more!

The Big Country. A solid gold classic: as epic as the vistas captured on film.

The Telegraph Trail

More dead than alive.
Clint walker, turning in a decent performance, Vincent price and Anne Francis. Enjoyed it far more than I was expecting too. The fight between clint walker and Mike Henry is great.

Sounds like something "up my alley" with the Mountain Men. Will look it up. Thanks, Bud! I will let you know if it sticks to the MM in reality.

"Sacred Ground" with Tim McIntire, Jack Elam and L.Q. Jones. The Encore Western Channel ran this today and it was new to me. It's about a mountain man who trespasses on sacred Indian burial mounds. Sound familiar?

It was a bit slow in spots but turned out to be interesting. I think it was made in 1983.




We deal in lead, friend.

Tin Star. Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins. Very good western indeed.
I'm discovering all these old classics since joining the forum, having to educate myself in the a western genre to feel less of a green horn, like Gregory Peck in The Big Country!

Just twigged Tin Star was directed by Anthony Mann.
No wonder it was so good!

Doing Gettysburg on Blu ray. Splitting my viewing to events on the relevant day so watched the 1st of July section yesterday and 2nd of July section after midnight. Works quite well as its so long each section takes almost a day to watch!
really enjoying it, once I got past the dubious facial hair: Blu ray doesn't take any prisoners so they're even more laughable in places.

Texas Terror

She Wore A Yellow Ribbon

Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen in Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. Nice old Walt Disney western telling episodes of the life of the famous frontiersman.

I haven't seen that since I was a kid!
Does it still stand up as a good film?

Ya know Peter, I would love to see that again. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, also. After each movie, us neighborhood kids would get together and act out parts of the movie. We had about 10 acres of woods, a stream, huge bamboo forest, and a very small cabin that we used in our little "plays". All of us had guns and holsters, BB rifles, sheath knives, etc. We would crawl around in the underbrush and sneak through the fields. Usually the plot was to see which "team" could get to the cabin first without being seen by a member of the other team. Funny how old films bring back such fond memories. KPKEITH

The Dawn Rider

Stranger on horseback! Joel McCrea

Sons of Katie Elder, with John Wayne, Dean Martin, Paul Fix and George Kennedy.

The Searchers. Can't help but love this one. Duke was robbed when the Oscar nominations were handed out, that's for sure.
