Just to name a FEW

Favorite Movies:

* Tombstone
* How The West Was Won
* 3:10 to Yuma
* Shane

Once Upon A Time In The West

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Quigley Down Under is my all-time favorite Western. Or if we can use a very loose definition of "Western", The Coen Brothers' No Country for Old Men is up there too.

 

[rem788]

Outlaw Josey Wales
Tombstone ( Kurt Russel version)
Lonesome Dove
Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns - Loved the close ups of the actors eyes every time there was a gunfight

 

[ghuns]

...
-Hell or High Water

That is such a great movie.

Pretty much everyone and every movie listed.
I also like to read Louis L'amour books, which the Sackett movie is from .
There's another one with Selleck, Elliot and the other guy from the Sackett's.
Also like to read Zane Grey

 

[maxwelhse]

That is such a great movie.

When Hell or High Water lost Best Picture to Moonlight, I knew the Academy was dead to me.

HoHW is arguably in the top 5 movies of the decade. If you like HoHW, give Arkansas a shot (though not as good, same vibe, but a bit of comedy too).

I resisted the thread-jacking urge and started a new one.

I will go in a bit of a different direction, to where they got their start.

Radio!

Gunsmoke, The Six Shooter, The Lone Ranger and quite a few more all started on radio. William Conrad voices Marshal Matt Dillion. James Stewart was Britt Ponsit in The Six Shooter. There are years and years of these out there for free. I've enjoyed them for about a decade. First on Radio Classics on Sirius/XM. Then on podcasts.

Hop Along Cassidy, Have Gun Will Travel, Frontier Gentleman, Tales of the Texas Rangers, and lots more. Literally thousands of hours of these great shows are available.

 

[marvin02]

Have Gun Will Travel was one of the few (only?) that started on TV and was then adapted for radio.

HGWT is my favorite TV western.

 

[Magyars]

Lots of great westerns listed.
My favorite is the Wild Bunch....
And another not listed, the Professionals

 

[Bigtanker]

Have Gun Will Travel was one of the few (only?) that started on TV and was then adapted for radio.

HGWT is my favorite TV western.

I do believe you are correct. John Dahner is in my top three favorite radio actors. (Frank Lovejoy and Phil Harris complete the list)
