Sorry if this reddit is western movies only.

A question about the First Mountain Man book series. I've read the first book and the prequel called Preacher. I know that Art gets this nickname while being tortured by some Natives as they mention it in the first book. Is there a book in the series where we actually read about this happening?

I really admire the western genre, but I’m young and I have trouble watching old movies in the Western genre is such an old genre and has a lot of old classics so what are some recommendations to get me into the genre and ready for those old classics?

I watched and enjoyed both of the above. I’m no expert on Westerns so I’m not sure where to go next. I prefer limited run TV shows.

Has anyone seen “The English”? I tried the first episode but it wasn’t landing for me.

I don't care if I'm an old man, I STILL want that lever-action Mare's Leg that Steve McQueen carried in Wanted: Dead or Alive. I promise to use it responsibly. Just rustlers and wanted criminals.

His performance as the Schofield Kid in Unforgiven was, IMO, very good, so I was surprised to see that he barely acted in many films after that. You'd think having a breakout performance in an Oscar winning film, headlining it with Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman of all people, would open the doors of Hollywood at least for the rest of the decade.

After doing some research, I found out he's Canadian. So, after Unforgiven, he basically focussed on either Canadian or American TV for the rest of his career. Still, it's odd. At the time, TV acting was considered (at least financially) to be a big step down from Hollywood. So, I just wonder, why didn't he immediately take off as a consistent presence in films at the time?

by the way: yeah i know the same pilot is actually the first episode of The Rifleman however in Zane Grey Theatre there was originally music of the show instead of The Rifleman (the most recognizable is from Wanted Dead or Alive TV show), unseen shots, the house doesn’t appear in the pilot since the the first episode was officially created etc

I knows this is super old but I like John Ford and Henry Hathaway. Also I think the 50s were the best years for Westerns. I know I sound like an old person right now, but 1950s westerns are just nostalgic.

I hope this post is ok to share here. The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of my favorite westerns, and I wanted to show a new figure in my collection. I am blown away at the head sculpt.

Hey so I need to write a Western story for my creative writing club and I wanted more inspiration. If I'm being honest most of my western knowledge comes from Read dead redemption and blood meridian. So anything that you think is essential for me to read or watch so I can get a better grasp on what to write amazing. I actually just picked up Dead man's walk and I hope it's good, but yeah any book, movie, show anything recommendations would be greatly appreciated👍👍

The Jigawatts were there, but problem with speed.

My grandfather was a massive John Wayne fan so I saw a lot of them when I was young. Sadly I can't remember much of them. The one I'm looking for, I have very little memory of, is black and white. John Wayne looked somewhat young and 2 women where fighting for his attention. At least I think so. One was a normal woman of the time (for a lack of a better term) and the other was more like a cowgirl, rough and tough. and that's all I can really remember. I want to say the movie had a dark circle around the edges but I'm not sure if that was maybe the copy he had or if it was the film that had a dark vignette. I know it's a long shot but any help would be great!

I mentioned this in a comment in another thread but could not add the photo.

Note that Taka the eagle is included.

I had this as a kid but do not have it now.

Picture found on web.

Just watched this last evening. 1973. British director, two American actors and shot in Spain. Definitely has a spaghetti western feel to it. A wanted black man encounters a crippled Indian. They bond over their hatred of the white man. Starts a but slow but pays off as it develops. Unique story. A bit brutal at times but a good film and one that deserves a second watch.

This really is western masterpiece, just glorious storytelling, deep, subtle, grounded in reality. Incredible.

You guys love it?

You’ve seen this movie before, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. The Last Rodeo follows the classic underdog sports formula with heart, warmth, and standout turns from Neal McDonough and Michael T. Williamson. It won’t surprise you, but it might still get you choked up.
