The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I like just about all of those old spaghetti westerns.

| Some of mine...UPDATED |
Aaron Scott |
First, I cannot vouch that there isn't any untoward content. If so, I likely fast-forwarded, but overall, if I recall correctly, these are all pretty good movies (though I would think probably for adult consumption). Listed below, in no particular order. However, while all of these are good movies, the ones in bold are particularly good, I think.
The Call Me Trinity & Trinity is Still My Name. The Trinity movies (there may be a third) are by FAR the funniest cowboy movies I've ever seen--outstanding story of two brothers who are called the right and left hand of the devil (due to their speed). They love-hate each other, can eat, drink, fight, gamble anyone under the table.
3:10 to Yuma (the newer one)
Open Range
Broken Trail
Lonesome Dove (all of them)
Hostiles
The Ballad of Lester Scruggs
The Ballad of Lefty Brown
Jeremiah Johnson
Pale Rider
Longmire (TV series--modern sheriff in Wyoming with cowboy sensibilities)
Unforgiven
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
City Slickers
Dances with Wolves
The Way West (have not seen, but the book is excellent)
How the West Was Won
Tombstone
The Magnificent Seven (Denzel Washington version)
Appaloosa
Young Guns (all of them)
Silverado
True Grit (both of them)
The Lone Ranger (with Depp--was talked down, but I liked it a lot!)
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
The Homesman (not a happy ending, but still a great movie)
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Any list without Lonesome Dove at the top is a cry for help.
Aaron, your inclusion of "Buster" Scruggs reminds me of my favorite 2 minutes in a "western", the "Surly Joe" routine, leaves me with a stitch in my side every time. |

Lonesome Dove
Gunsmoke (all of 'em)
Rawhide (most of 'em)
I even liked 'Wanted Dead of Alive', Ponderosa, and Big Valley.
Any one coming from Louis Lamore. 
Since I cannot hear 'em any more, I read 'em.
I had to come back and put that at the top. I did like it.

The Sons of Katie Elder is a good answer, "You are not far from the Kingdom" |

| In Medicine Bow, Wyoming... |
Aaron Scott |
In Medicine Bow, Wyoming, which is about as small of a town as you can have, there is an historic hotel called "The Virginian." It was built, I seem to recall, in the early 1900s. It was named "The Virginian" because in Owen Wister, the author of "The Virginian," opened his novel with a scene in Medicine Bow, Wyoming.
When I became fascinated with that place (a visit brought on only because the next place to eat was about two hours away, and my wife, though not knowing this, figured we'd better eat while we could), my wife and son purchased the "The Virginian" novel and a book of Wister's short stories for me for Christmas--and I was delighted!
To my knowledge, I've never seen the TV show, nor the movies, about "The Virginian. But the book is outstanding. |
