What Was The Last Western You Watched?

[Stumpy]

Just watched the Blu-Ray "The Horse Soldiers".

[Hawkswill]

Arrowhead with Charleton Heston, Milburn Stone, and Brain Keith. Boy, what a different Milburn Stone than I have EVER seen. He was a partner to Chief Army Indian Scout Ed Banner, (Heston) and was good at fighting Indians and saving Heston's life. Believe it or not, he looked a bit like Festus. If he had had chin whiskers, he would have looked a LOT like him right down to the clothes.

Watched one of my favorite Westerns ("The Big Country") which also co-stars the most beautiful actress of all time, Jean Simmons.

Red River

[Hawkswill]

Sergeants Three and Five Card Stud

The War Wagon. It holds up pretty well. Kirk Douglas comes off as a showoff in the film with his fancy horse mounts and dismounts. He seemed competitive with the Duke, somehow. It was distracting from the story.

There's a glimpse of Hal Needham as a guard inside the War Wagon. Loved that. He's a special favourite of mine. He did a nice face-first dive from the coach as he was shot by the double-crossing ranch stealer.

Red River again, :)

The Hour of the Gun

The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck.
Enjoyable old time Western.

Totally agree Stumpy. I watched this very recently, having not seen it for years, and it was as wonderful now as the first time I saw it. Fantastic musical score too!

Arrowhead with Charleton Heston, Jack Palance, and a most interesting and different Milburn Stone!
Also Broken Arrow which I haven't seen for countless ages. Noticed Frank McGrath at bar and "almost" lynching mob and thought I saw Cliff Lyons next to him in the mob. He isn't "uncredited", but that doesn't mean anything. Once saw Jack Pennick with lines in a movie and he wasn't mentioned at all!

[The Tennesseean]

Well...I FINALLY saw True Grit tonight. I missed the first 10 minutes or so, but watched the rest of it all the way through.

I was surprised to find that I liked it, just not QUITE as much as the original. Nothing against Bridges, Damon, or the young girl (Hailee) who, IMHO, was a FAR better Mattie than Kim Darby, but I prefer the JW version.

The music was good, even though the melody lines were changed (nearly unrecognizable at times) needlessly. This is my bread and butter, and having spent the last 45 years (at least) singing them, arranging them for quartets and choruses, and directing them...I'm QUITE familiar with their origin and melodic content.

[Hondo Duke Lane]

It was a great day for John Wayne movies on AMC. Started out with The Comancheros, El Dorado, Rio Bravo, Hondo, The Shootist, Big Jake, The Cowboys, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Couldn't ask for a better list of movies for a day.

Cheers Hondo

Seven men from now.
Randolph Scott and Lee Marvin in a batjac movie.
Solid western all round.
