I would have to say the Lonesome Dove series after watching all of the movies/mini series  based on Larry McMurtry's books as well as the ones he didn't write but keep the characters and filled in the blanks such Return to Lonesome Dove as well as the TV series both years they are by far the best westerns I've seen to date. I really couldn't tell they had been written by the same person or different people but they all seemed to follow the plot to a tee over a generation or two.

It's neat to see all the old TV westerns that I grew up watching in the 50s and 60s, which I consider the "Golden Age of TV Westerns", the Western Channel is running a lot of them these days.

Favorite Western?

Gee, how about if I tell you about the worst Western I ever saw and worst sex I ever had--both were amazing.

Hell, I could not pick the best Western of the last 10 years.  Too many great ones to pick a best, I would have to list at least 20 films.  If you had to show 5 Westerns to a person to give them a feel for the Genre, I'd take (in no order)  1.  Every Western with John Wayne; 2. Every Western with Jimmy Stewart, 3. Every Western with Eastwood, 4. Every Western with Charlton . . . oh to hell with this.

One I don't think I saw perusing these lists was The Missing with Cate Blanchett and Tommy Lee Jones--worth a watch.  Another I did not see on anyone's lists might be McCabe and Mrs. Miller.  The new Appaloosa (old one decent as well).

Modern Westerns, such as Lone Star, deserve a nod in my opinion, too.

Favorite Western Book so far? Charlie Siringo's autobiography. 

"We tried a desperate game and lost. But we are rough men used to rough ways, and we will abide by the consequences."

My favourites are both from roughly the same year, and were (along with the books of Louis L'Amour) probably the first things to kindle my interest in the Old West.

They are Silverado, and Pale Rider.

Another two classics that I haven't seen for years, but were shown on TV recently are; Little Big Man, and A Man Called Horse.

My favorite are "ElDorado" with The Duke(Coal Thornton, Robert Mitchum(J.P.Harrah), James Caan(Mississippi) and whatever the old guy's name was (Bull in the movie.),
"Rio Bravo" With the Duke(John Chance), Dean Martin(Dude), Ricky Nelson(Colorado), Walter Brennan(Stumpy), and John Russell(Nathan Burdette) and
"Rio Lobo" with the Duke(Cord McNally), Jorge Rivero (Frenchy), Christopher Mitchum (Tuscarora Phillips) and Jack Elam (Old man Phillips).  Great Shows.

The movie ARIZONA is great.

I agree.  I'd never heard of it before but found it on www.westernsontheweb.com
Downloaded it because it had Jean Arthur (from Shane) and a very young William Holden.  Quality of the download is very good.  Burned it onto a dvd and watched it on the big TV.  Commercial dvds are also available at ebay and other sources.

Good story and great acting.  Made in 1940.  Nominated for a couple Academy Awards.  A forgotten treasure now.  Check it out.

Sammy Davis Jr.  was without question a Very talented man... Singing, acting, and in gunplay...


One of the True Greats!   Don't find those types around much today.
