Posts from Stumpy in thread „Updating Western Collection“

Well, at least some of those new movies I bought aren't too bad.

I watched a Joel McCrea Western this afternoon called "Four Faces West" that was actually pretty good. And believe it or not, there wasn't a signle shot fired in the whole picture. For a Western, that's kinda hard to believe. Co-starred Charles Bickford as Pat Garrett.

Quote from Stumpy

I should have my head examined. This morning, I was visiting a site and happened to notice that Deep Discount was offering a 20% discount (enter PRICESEARCH in the promotion box). Well, I went hog wild and pig crazy - ordered $379. (and that's with the discount) worth of DVDs in assorted genres, mostly Westerns. My wife is gonna kill me when I have to own up to it.

The more I study that list of films I ordered, the more I think I should have my head examined. Especially regarding all the Randolph Scott Westerns, many of which are real dogs, I'm sure. Oh well, too late now, I guess.

Thanks very much for the encouraging comments, folks. Good to know that my impulsive purchase of all these discs yielded some winners. So far, my better half hasn't said too much and she knows what I did. Maybe I dodged a bullet. :teeth_smile:

BTW, my remark about the bigger shipments arriving faster from DDDVD was right on this time. I got a shipment with 29 titles in only three days. From Deep Discount, that's super fast.

Here's the list of movies I ordered from Deep Discount. It includes movies by Glenn Ford, Gary Cooper, Henry Fonda, Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea. Maybe those of you who've seen some of these can provide some recommendations.

Intended Shipping Method: 5 - 10 BUSINESS DAY DELIVERY (This is a joke. It usually takes 3 or more weeks for their shipments to arrive, although what's odd is that the bigger the shipment, the faster it arrives.)

Jim, you could be heading for trouble!!!! lol

Yeah, I'll probably have to slip her a hundred or so spending money to pacify 'er (and to salve my conscience. )

There were 38 movies in that order. Although I have two fairly good-sized bookcases for my DVDs, I"m rapidly running out of space to keep them. And I don't have any extra space in my living room or den for another bookcase. I've got to stop this impulse buying.

I should have my head examined. This morning, I was visiting a site and happened to notice that Deep Discount was offering a 20% discount (enter PRICESEARCH in the promotion box). Well, I went hog wild and pig crazy - ordered $379. (and that's with the discount) worth of DVDs in assorted genres, mostly Westerns. My wife is gonna kill me when I have to own up to it.

What are your favorite Western Movies out there?

Another thread had me thinking about western DVD/Blue Ray collections. Outside John Wayne westerns, what westerns would be great to start out with in a collection or continue to build in a collection?

What comes to mind is:

The Far Country
My Darling Clementine
High Noon
Silverado
The Magnificent Seven
3:10 to Yuma
Major Dundee
The Tin Star
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
Lonesome Dove

You get the idea. Help me to build my Western Collection and maybe yours too.

Cheers Hondo Duke Lane

This list can help you out, Mike. I don't particularly agree with their ratings but at least it lists the titles of a lot of good Westerns.
