What Was The Last Western You Watched?

Quote from JohnChisum

Navajo Joe
Hmm Burt Reynolds dressed as Indian on a venegeance tour. You must be a fan of Italian Westerns to like it. Nevertheless beside of all the violence an entertaining flick with a good music score from Ennio Morricone.

It was weird enough seeing him as an Indian on Gunsmoke (Quint Asper), when he was decked out in the warpaint, etc. He didn't look too bad when he became the blacksmith, but at first, when he was living with his family. I realize he was 1/2 Indian, but he still looked a little strange.

Hi Carl

I think the western you are trying to identify was Union Pacific its about the building of the railroad.

Hi Arthur, thanks for that and I think that was the title. I meant to look on the TCM schedule-but forgot to do so.

I watched Shenandoah on AMC last night. Im beginning to think that AMC stands for: American Commershal channel.

RIO GRANDE
John Ford + John Wayne + Maureen O'Hara = GREAT MOVIE !

My first Duke film in months--this afternoon-True Grit '-D

It's interesting who else played Indians in their career: Burt Lancaster in Apache, Rock Hudson in Winchester 73 and Taza, Anthony Quinn in Buffalo Bill, Boris Karloff in Unconquered, ...

ONCE again The Horse Soldiers (this time in Widescreen ) !

VIRGINIA CITY (1940)
Interesting Cast in this one: Errol Flynn, Randolph Scott, Humphrey Bogart ... Directed by Michael Curtiz who directed also The Commancheros and Casablanca. More or less the typical Errol Flynn Adventure Movie with some nice scenes in it. :regular_smile:

In the last several weeks I watched, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "The Big Trail" "Stagecoach", "High Noon", and one called "Guns of a Stranger", a very low budget western starring my favorite classic country/western star, Marty Robbins. The first four...classics! The last one...not so much!

ONE-EYED JACKS
A well done western directed by Marlon Brando. The cast was pretty good: Brando himself, Karl Malden and the all time great Ben Johnson. Always have a good feeling when I see Ben Johnson in a Movie. My only complain about this movie is that it's far too long.

EL DORADO
It's a classic and one of the most entertaining western I ever seen.

Watched "Whispering Smith" tonight, starring Alan Ladd.

I was really surprised because this is the only film I've ever seen in which Donald Crisp played a bad guy.

Sergeants Three-starring the Rat Pack and includes the late great Michael Pate. I loved their translation of Gunga Din ;-))

John Wayne's "Rio Grande"

The Magnificent Seven Ride!
The third sequel of The Magnificent Seven. This time with Lee Van Cleef and Stephanie Powers. An ok Movie!

Nothing much except for some Gunsmoke episodes while we were in Austin ;-))

Watched "A Fistful of Dollars" last week and "For a Few Dollars More" last night.

Which one you like better? My favourite is For a Few Dollars More

"Quick and the Dead" and "Conagher" starring Sam Elliott. Two of his best westerns. Sam's kinda cut from the same cloth Duke was, a man's man. But of course Duke stands head and shoulders above all the rest, in my book mind you.

Same here - Leone was starting to hit his stride at this point! But he topped his first efforts with "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time in the West."

"The War Wagon" - Duke teamed with Kirk Douglas

Donovans Reef - good feel good film
