Lonesome Dove is obviously the best TV Western of all time.
Movies, though... Unforgiven Tombstone The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Crap Westerns: Posse Bad Girls American Outlaws -------------------- I'd rather be a Commodore than the lower half of a Rear Admiral any day.

Tombstone "re-invented the genre" and is the only western anyone needs to ever see, henceforth in perpetuity throughout the cosmos.

Oy.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Two Mules for Sister Sara Shane Hang 'Em High Stagecoach Cheyenne Autumn The Horse Soldiers Fort Apache For a Few Dollars More You bunch of heathen. -------------------- Strategy is theology with the hope removed.
Surprise happens in the mind of the commander. The U.S. Military: Making the world safe for Democrats since 1945. God is the Final Cylon. We Are Right. Why? Because We Say So. Brought to you by the We Say So Corporation. Here lie the bones of Lieutenant Jones, a graduate of this institution. He died on the night of his very first fight, while using the school solution. An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "Saviour of his Country" when the guns begin to shoot. |
