Not a western in the traditional sense, but I have really come to appreciate the Kirk Douglas movie Lonely Are the Brave. I'm always a sucker for any movie that features someone bravely and nobly fighting for a way of life that is fast fading. The trauma of change is a big deal to me and I am always interested in movies or books that address the issue.

I like so many Westerns that it's tough to just choose one, especially when it has to be a non-Duke Western! I'll just name a few:
Bend of the River-- Plus every other Anthony Mann/James Stewart collaboration!
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral-- First time I ever saw Burt Lancaster, I was 13 and he impressed the heck out of me! So much authority in the way he moved and acted.
The Outlaw Josey Wales-- Quotable from start to finish.
High Noon-- A classic in every way, even if it is a bit "creaky" at times.
Man Without A Star-- Little-known Kirk Douglas Western with ichard Boone as a great bad guy.
