I loved My Name is Nobody when I was a kid. Recent faves are Tombstone and The Quick and the Dead. Fringe: I'll second Firefly

I still laugh when I watch this...


Many more but those stick out.

Saw all of the Terence Hill westerns at the theater as a kid. Good memories.

Working thru the worthy titles in this thread would make for an epic binge weekend. That said, I'll add any story written by Louis L'Amour that featured Tom Selleck and/or Sam Elliott on screen would be great. While purists prefer the Duke's version of True Grit, the Coen brothers did a fine job with the remake, IMO, especially the soundtrack.

I dunno that they're western so much as they deal with the Mexican Revolution but Villa Rides with Yul Brynner and Robert Mitchum is good and The Professionals with Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin are both worth seeing.

I recently watched Appaloosa, and it's worth watching as well.

Those books are awesome up until Robert B Parker died. True Grit by Portis is worth reading as well. So is Josey Wales.

how could you like the remake of True Grit?

Love the Duke and Robert Duval, but the location setting, props, script, and other actors were much better in the remake. Especially the girl.
