Don't know if they've been mentioned yet, but two westerns I enjoy catching on TV are McKenna's Gold and Cat Ballou.
Neither are what I'd call my most favorite or "the best" (Still lean hard on The Searchers/Stagecoach/Magnificent 7), but Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou is worth the price of admission right there. "It's a hangin' day, in Wolf City, Wyoming . . ." |

I have an old friend whose parents both loved that movie. They were as different as night and day and never agreed on anything. She was kind of a new age hippie type and he was much older and extremely uptight. It was one of those "How in the hell did these two ever get together?" type relationships. Years after they finally got a divorce I was over at her house watching tv with my buddy and McKenna's Gold came on and she immediately said "This is a great movie!" Mystery solved, I guess. I kind of like to think that there entire twenty year marriage was based on their love of the haunting "Turkey Buzzard" theme song: Last edited by Mennonite; 09-25-2021 at 03:44 PM.. |

There’s a good one on TCM tonight: Major Dundee.
Sam Peckinpah, Charlton Heston, Richard Harris, etc. |

It is a great movie, but much like the third Lord of the Rings, it came to a perfect ending point and then languished on for another half an hour.

But yeah there was a lot to love about that movie, it was just so authentic and had a fresh perspective on the Natives side of things… definitely 5/5 for me |

It was only a small part of the movie but the scene with Maury Chaykin has always stuck with me.

Richard Harris was a phenomenal actor. He face is just remarkably expressive and he could do so much with simply changing his tenor. Give him two identical lines and he could make them say whatever he wanted. I only recently learned that Jared Harris was his son - apple didn't fall far from the tree. |
