What Was The Last Western You Watched?

Well, we've been on a little roll the past couple of days, and have watched

Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch (you can read more about that experience here).

In addition, we watched

The Stranger Wore A Gun and Ten Wanted Men,

both with Randolph Scott. One interesting thing about both these movies was the appearance of the Mexican actor Alfonso Bedoya, best known for the "stinkin' badges" line in Treasure of the Sierra Madre. We also purchased another Randolph Scott movie, Seven Men from Now,which we hope to watch soon.

Hi all,

I watched Bend of The River w/ Jimmy Stewart and Rock Hudson. Tried to watch How the West was Won but just can't seem to get through it in one sitting. Will have to try again on a rainy Sunday.

Got a chance to watch the VHS I got via eBay. It's the "Onboard with the Duke". I had been wanting to get this video for several years, and finally pulled the trigger this week and bought it.

I really enjoyed this video, it was as good as I thought it would be, seeing the other side of Dukes life.

Hi,
Over the last week or so I have seen Winchester 73, Red River, and She Wore A Yellow Ribbon. Good Thread!

Broked Arrow yesterday

Last night I watched THE OUTLAW. The movie has two very large firm things going for it. Other then Miss Russell and the world's first cross-your-heart there are many other good things to say about this movie such as all the fine acting and good script. The scoring however, is over done and horrible, the worst case of Mickey Mousing I have ever seen.

Cheers B)

The Guns Of Fort Petticoat"
-With Audie Murphy

Like most of Murphy's movies, this is a solid well made "B" movie. nothing classic, but fun to watch.

Phantomstranger,

What is your favorite Audie Murphy movie? I don't think I've seen any of his movies, and would like recommendations of any of his movies.

Cheers B)

Not to hi-jack this thread... my favorite Audie Murphy movies are...

To hell and back (His life story.. well his WWII story)
Destry
The Quick Gun
Arizona Raiders
The Texican

Now back to topic...

I watched King of the Pecos, The Sons of Kate Elder, and The Comancheros tonight...

We own The Guns of Fort Petticoat, and enjoy it. Unfortunately, our VHS copy of it has a spot about 2/3 of the way through or more, that lasts for a couple of minutes, that is quite annoying. We hope to replace it one day, but we only paid a dollar for it at a rummage sale, so don't have huge complaints.

Anyway, to get a little more on topic, we watched Back to the Future 3 tonight, which is the "Western" installment of the three movies. It has some nice shots of Monument Valley, some cute Western references, and it sure is fun seeing Harry Carey Jr., Pat Buttram, and Dub Taylor as the old timers back in 1885.

An all-around fun film and one of our family's favorites (we just got the boxed set of three DVDs, which has tons of special features, at a local electronics super-store, for $29.99).

Oops . . . almost forgot! We watched the Randolph Scott film Seven Men from Now the other night. We felt it was the best Randolph Scott movie we've seen so far. Gail Russel (of Angel and the Badman fame amongst JW fans) was the female lead, and Lee Marvin was the happy-go-lucky bad guy. Well done movie, and to hear Clint Eastwood and Quentin Tarantino tell it in the special features, a real classic among Westerns.

Today during lunch I watched: Blue Steel.

Dancers with wolfs

Destry, the Audie Murphy vesion.

I picked it up from Ebay on VHS for my dad but watched it before I gave it too him, :lol: :lol:

By the way, does anybody know how hard that movie is to find? I cannot find it anywhere but EBay and the VHS tape was not a retail version. Its a good copy but not a retail. Would be nice to see it on DVD sometime.
