I watched it too, I thought it was cool that Everrett (Viggo Morrison) used an 8 gauge.

Any idea why the indians prized appaloosa horses? First off, it was the only horse slow enough they could catch while they were afoot. Secondly, it made sure they were damn sure good and mad by the time they rode one to the battle!

Crossfire Trail is a pretty good one as far as westerns go.

Also, they don't need snowshoes, their hooves are the size of a frying pan.
I have always thought The Searchers one of the best westerns. Of course, you have to suspend disbelief and imagine that the Navajo Reservation is "Texas".
Good hunting. El Bee

Leonard, I think the searchers was one of John Wayne's best if not the best ?
I watched one about a month ago for the 1st time. It was good, had Lee Marvin in it.
They went into Mexico to rescue a gal who was being held for ransom. The title escapes me now ?
edit: The Professionals.
edit: Oh yeah can't forget. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, another classic !

watched the man who shot liberty valance just the other night.
cal, my 8 yr old likes cross fire trails, and all the other tom selleck westerns.
of the new movies my favorites are monte walch, the good old boys, 3 burials for melquides Estrada, and all the pretty horses, the last one is not so much a western but I sure like some of the bucking horse scenes in it.
old ones I like are the old monte walsh, cullpepper cattle company, tom horn, most all the sam elliots.
on a side note I heard one time it took 31 different horse to make the bucking horse scene in the old monte walch with lee marvin

Here's a vote for "3 Burials For Melquides Estrada" but it keeps reminding me of No Country For Old Men. One I think is called, "All The Pretty Horses" was interesting, if you like that chick, forget her name? Who can forget The Wild Bunch? Didn't like the way Tom Horn ended, or the double cross that got him in that fix.
Happy Mother's Day, Lance.

Nobody, nobody is my name.
I haven't seen that one since I was a young'n but it was one of my favorites even though I don't remember much about it now.
The Cowboys is one of my favorites and while not technically a "western" l like "the last of the dogmen"
I flipped on the tv yesterday prepared to watch cowboy Saturday and only caught the Rifleman and Rawhide then it went to some stupid movie. Not nearly enough westerns on these days.

I went on an antelope hunt in WY in 1984. Had to miss my 10 year high school reunion because of it. Tom Horn was pretty new back then, and I was, and still am a Steve McQueen fan. We hunted just outside Medicine Bow and took our kills to the local processor. His wife had grown up in the area and when I asked her, she said she had known Horn. He was popular in town, used to buy her and all the kids candy when he was in town. Her parents were convinced it was a setup.
"If I'd a killed that kid, it woulda been the best shot I ever made, and the dirtiest trick I ever pulled.

Yep, The Searchers is one of the best of all time, IMO.
Up there with The Good, Bad, and Ugly.
My Name is Nobody is good too. I never see it on anymore, for some reason.

I agree with you about the "Tom Horn" movie, Leonard.
Jimzy, I stayed a night @ the Virginian in Medicine Bow & couldn't keep from imagining what kinda shit went down in/around that place in the past! Musta been the bullet holes in the walls?
Couple days ago, watched "For a Few Dollars More" with Eastwood & Van Cleef...

I'm with Cable One, they changed and re-arranged a bunch of stuff.
Discovered I have GRIT TV now. Some more westerns, I never knew about. Watched JUBE the other day.
In the meantime several episodes of Laramie, including a few in black and white.
GET-TV also has some good ones, weird haven't seen a Wayne or Eastwood movie yet on these channels ? Nothin' against that stuff, just kinda' refreshing to watch westerns without those guys..

Will Penny with Charlton Heston was a bit offbeat, but I related to the location which was the Owens Valley.
Tell you what, there was a shitpot full of two reelers from the good old days. Guys like Hoot Gibson, Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autrey, Bob Steele, Tom Mix, Lash La Rue, Roy Rogers. In the early days, on weekends, there were only two channels in Minneapolis, WCCO and KSTP, (I think?) Anyway, they started with test patterns then played "Oaters" all day Saturday. You could count on a scene where a huge posse would "head 'em off at the pass." All black and white, of course, the bad guy never won. Hell, even the Lone Ranger could keep me entertained for thirty minutes. "What mean 'we' paleface?"
But, back in the early fifties, programming heavily depended on old westerns.
Good hunting. El Bee

Reading a book now call Summer of the Moon (I think) about the Texans and the the Indians.
The story "The Searchers" is based on the Cindy Parker story. It's a good read. When I get back on top I'll post the name of the book and author bought it at Costco.

I am a huge John Wayne fan...I can honestly say I have not seen 'The Shootist'. The main reason is that John Wayne gets killed...in fact, it took me a long time to watch 'The Cowboys' all of the way through since he dies in that one.
'Rooster Cogburn' and 'McClintock' are two of my all time faves...I, too, liked 'Tom Horn' with McQueen. I especially liked the ending where they engineered the gallows the way they did as no one wanted to pull the lever on him. I still think he was set up...
I also liked 'The Long Riders' with the 3 sets of brothers...Carradine, Keach and Quaid.
