Good. I thought I was being replaced by the next upcoming New Movie Master. Those horror/sci-fi films. I have 4D Man. The others pretty sure I can get those too. Just passed on them before, Bucket Of Blood and Attack of the Giant leeches.
I saw the movie and was disappointed that it focused more on the commanding officer than the code talkers. I read a book about them. An ingenious idea and code that worked.

What about all the Audie Murphy westerns? The Unforgiven with Audie, Burt Lancaster, & Audrey Hepburn.
Then there’s Tumbleweed. And there’s about 10 others!
And Gregory Peck in the Bravados & The Gunfighters.

Yas sirree, Bob! I’m moseying on over to that there area, over yonder….🤠
Same here. 🐴
I am also adding next week the movie Anora (2024). Last week this movie won best picture and Oscar at the Academy Awards. We will be racking up some wonderful movies in the future.
Whoa Ho! Tex is going full Hollywood on us!! 🤠 Yeehaw!
I must do this—it’s the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo happening now!!

That was an impossible task. Easier to pick the worst.
I had to go Other. There are just too many great Westerns to choose only 1.

I love Eldorado with John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and James Caan. It had a great theme song too! Another Robert Mitchum western I love is Five Card Stud, also starring Dean Martin.
The Big Country, with Burl Ives, Chuck Connors, Gregory Peck, et al.
Yeah! Where the heck is the Big Country?!? Peck, Heston, Chuck Connors, & Oscar winner Burl Ives?!? This must have been a frosty Friday! Maybe Clem Marrigan screwed up this too. Or was it the Major, manipulating the vote his way?? Too many common choices, and not class choices. 😑
Wild Bunch is my pick. Clementine a close second.
I chose the movie "The Cowboys"With John wayne.
30%
I picked The Good Bad and the Ugly.
Love Lee Van Cleef !!!

I've only watched a handful of "Westerns", and of that handful, "The Unforgiven" was my favorite. In reality, when I see a "Western" on TV, whether it's a movie or TV show, I immediately begin thinking of how horrible it would've been to have lived back then! Just surviving day-to-day would be a hassle; getting food, shelter, and any other necessities would be an all-day, every day ordeal. And the worst part of it all... no cars or motorcycles! I'm just not into horses. My sister had one, as did my best friend. They're just not my thing.
Jeremiah Johnson.
That was a good one!
The Searchers no doubt! I had the privilege to go to Monument Valley and stand where these giants stood.
Me too. Very cool place.
A lot of good choices on that list, so it's hard to pick one.
Westerns cover a wide range of topics, sub-genres (comedy, adventure, biography, action, revenge/retribution, even some musicals, like "Annie Get Your Gun"), and production eras (silent, b&w/color, pre/post production code, etc.), making it very hard to nail down a single "best".
My personal favorite is "The Wild Bunch"; it may not be the greatest, but it's the one I've watched the most often.

The Western that I really liked was High Noon. Of course, there's many on the list that I also liked. I love Clint Eastwood movies too.
