Thanks for the run down Ringo. I like the orginal theatrical release so I guess it would make sense to get the extended cut.

Baby Sis, I too enjoyed Quigley Down Under, and would highly recommend it to any western fan.

Same thing goes for the reconstructed version of The Big Red One.

Hey Ringo, I have the old version of The Big Red One, and I have almost purchased the new version. What about the new version makes it so much better?

I purchased "Battleground" when it was released. I too enjoyed that movie. Very well acted and written. The scene that sticks out the most to me is when the grunts are walking through the woods and they have to hide in the snow banks and trees. One of the guys gets killed when a german patrol shows up and after they shoot it out, the US guys just leave him there, nothing they could do but keep going on, just makes the realities of war more apparent.

Also, Battle of the Bulge, that is the one with Henry Fonda, correct? If so, it will be released sometime 1st part of the year if I remember correctly.

I must agree with others, I don't have just "one" favorite non Duke western. I have several. From the golden era(1970 and earlier) there is High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, Winchester 73, Once Upon A Time In The West, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, 3:10 to Yuma, just to name a few.
And from the newer era( 1970 to present) The Outlaw Josey Wales, Silverado, Quigley Down Under, Dances With Wolves, Tombstone, and Open Range. Its hard to pinpoint just one.
