Favourite Westerns.

[Tom Dunlap]

"Once upon a time..." SOOO good! Fonda does it right!

 

Clint...say no more! I grew up watching 'Wagon Train' and liked the punk, Rowdy Yates. Years later I found out that was Clint...too cool!

 

'Lonesome Dove'...one of the best movies on so many levels that I've ever watched. Adventure, action, love, unrequited love, buddies, scenery, good guys win...and loose too. I met a woman who made the arrows for the movie. The ones that killed Gus were made by her and her ex. Seeing DuVal and TL Jones in a movie made in '88 is amazing. The years have been good to those two. There is a prequel, 'Commanche Moon' and two sequels, only watch 'Streets of Laredo', the screenplay was written my Larry McMurtry, the LD author. His son, James, played in LD. James is one of my favorite male singer/songwriters, right up with John Prine and Springsteen.

 

'Blazing Saddles'...it HAS to be the original version not the edited one on TV. One afternoon I surfed in just before the farting scene so I figured I needed a good rib splitting laugh...not that day! Burbs were substituted! All of the fart noises on the original soundtrack were made with hand under the armpit 'farts', we call them pit-farts.

 

A couple of days ago I watched 'Stagecoach'. John Wayne's first starring role. Last week I got 'The Searchers', which was JW's favorite movie. I'm not a big JW fan but the scenes of Monument Valley are wonderful!

 

'No Country for Old Men' is a present day 'Western'...pretty grim, but the Coen Brothers make dang good movies.

I think this was set in Western Australia so it sort of counts.
