What Was The Last Western You Watched?

[ethanedwards]

I agree with Emmanuel and Todd,
Costner is at his best in Weterns.
In Silverado, I think he was good,
Wyatt Earp, probably not as good as Kurt Russell,
but you couldn't fault him, in Dances
and Open Range,

The last western, I've watched, 'The Return of Frank James'

Plus that shootout scene has to be right up there with one of the best ever filmed, simply amazing.

I agree with you on that point. It seemed more realistic because not every bullit hit flesh. Lots of misses like it really was back then. It is one of the best parts of the film.

I just bought "True Grit" when I was down in Atlanta and watched in on my laptop when doing the airport thing. So that was my last western watched. I know, what a lamo for not having True Grit yet. Hey what can I say, I just never seemed to pick it up when I had the chance, I found it a store down in Marietta, it was $7.99, so I couldn't pass it up.

Hi Viper -
I only purchased my DVD of "True Grit" in September, so I'm lagging in my sensibilities too. I hadn't seen it in a long time, so watching it again brought back memories, plus I didn't realize what a good film this was. I thought the accolades for Duke was its main claim to fame, but the acting and characterizations were way above average, not to mention the photography (but Arkansas never looked like this).
Cheers - Jay :D

Hi Jay,
The True Grit was filmed at Arkansas?

Hi Vera,
The novel was set in Arkansas,
but the film was shot in Colorado,
centered around Montrose.
There was lots of criticism at the time,of course
because the two States, were nothing like each other at all!!

The last Western I saw was on DvD just yesterday and it is called: Waterhole #3. James Coburn, Carrol O'Connor, James Whitmore Sr, Bruce Dern, Claude Akins & Timothy Carey starred in it.

The movie was faintly funny and I like all the actors in it but, the movie itself made little impression on me.

Now the last "GOOD" Western I saw was Dodge City.

I don't know if you can really call this a Western or not but yesterday I purchased The Grapes of Wrath (along with Waterhole #30 and I will be watching it tonight.

Hi Vera -
No, the story supposedly took place in Arkansas and surrounding territory, but the actual filming was done in Colorado. Arkansas has no snow-capped peaks like you see in the film or even tall mountains as seen on the horizon where the story starts and ends.

The last western I watched was Monte Walsh with Tom Selleck (on DVD). Watched that last night. The night before I watched what I think was called "Two-Gun Woman", a pretty cheesy B-Western that was on the Western Channel. The last John Wayne westerns I watched were Hondo and McLintock!, both when I picked up the DVDs.

Hey Viper, I purchased Rooster Cogburn (...and the Lady) almost two weeks ago. I know that it is not the same but it is the same character. :)

Hi Jay,
Thank you for information. I was always wondering, watching the film, were all these beautiful landscapes are situated? It will be really interesting to know in what places all Duke films were shoot. Some of them I know, the Mountain Valley of course, Sonora - "Angel and the Badman", Durango (in Mexico?) - The Sons of Katie Elder, The Alamo - somewere in Taxes
Each in his own kind.
Regards,
Vera

Hello:
The last Western I watched was Dakota. I just added it to my DVD library. I only have to get Three Faces West and then I'll have the complete John Wayne that has been released. Can't wait till they release some more.

Hi Keith,
I'm truly sorry, I didn't notice your post. Sometimes in the evening when I returned from the stable I became very slow.
I will search the Locations. Thanks.
