Your Favorite Westerns?
It seems like there are a lot of western fans around here. What are some of your favorite western movies? TV shows? Books? Songs? Radio programs? Video games?
Movies: While I actually prefer what was known as the "psychological" westerns of the 1950s my top two favorite western movies are Lonesome Dove (1989) and Unforgiven (1992). Warlock (1959) is probably my favorite 50s western. TV Shows: Gunsmoke (fav. episode "Thirty a Month and Found" - Season 20) The Wild, Wild West Maverick The Rebel (fav. episode "The Waiting" from season 2) The Westerner (fav. episode 'Hand on the Gun") Favorite western books: The Searchers by Alan Le May Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry Ramrod by Luke Short The Unforgiven by Alan Le May (not related to the 1992 movie) Death Ground by Ed Gorman Songs: El Paso by Marty Robbins Big Iron by Marty Robbins or Johnny Cash Cool Water by Hank Williams Ghost Riders in the Sky by Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash Cowboy's Lament by Burl Ives Radio programs: Gunsmoke You may or may not know that the Gunsmoke tv series started out as a radio show. It starred William Conrad and ran for several years. It was excellent. My Top 25: 02/14/1953 THE ROUNDUP 04/02/1955 BLOODY HANDS 04/30/1955 REWARD FOR MATT 10/02/1954 MATT GETS IT 09/27/1952 THE RAILROAD 07/19/1959 SECOND ARREST 09/19/1953 THERE WAS NEVER A HORSE 10/21/1956 TILL DEATH DO US PART 12/27/1952 THE CABIN 06/06/1953 SUNDOWN 11/10/1956 CROWBAIT BOB 03/20/1954 OLD FRIEND 08/08/1953 SKY 09/23/1956 BOX O' ROCKS 07/22/1956 LYNCHING MAN 02/21/1953 MESHOUGAH 02/26/1955 CRACKUP 03/06/1960 BLOOD MONEY 09/20/1954 THE F.U. 12/06/1959 BIG CHUGG WILSON 01/01/1955 THE BOTTLE MAN 07/02/1955 GENERAL PARSLEY SMITH 11/03/1957 BULL 05/06/1956 THE PHOTOGRAPHER All those can be listened to for free at the Internet archive. Video Games: I'm old so I've never actually played any western games. I've heard good things about the Red Dead games though. Last edited by Mennonite; 09-24-2021 at 01:47 PM.. |
