Whats your Favourite Western??

[Crankarm]

gotta go for Carry on Cowboy. Love that film.

And it was shot way out west at Pinewood Studios, Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire AFAIK.

Great film as I already posted it. T'was Sid James' best carry off of a carry on character IMHO. Mind he was good in many ......

Without doubt..

The Long Riders

Maybe not a classic Western, but beautiful country and some kind of observation about community and family {shuffles off to Pseuds Corner}

 

[Night Train]

Calamity Jane.

Bit of a Doris Day fan. I'm rehearsing Calamity Jane at the moment for a production in May.

That film was "El Dorado", where they gave Robert Mitchum a concoction of gunpowder, and other ingredients whilst he was in the cell to sober him up and make drinking repulsive so he would chuck up every time he had a drink, legged it and locked him in before he reacted to it.

Thanks for that. I think I shall keep an eye out for the DVD.

Well I'm rather surprised there hasn't been more than just a passing mention of Hombre so far. It's got to be my favourite.

Thanks for that. I think I shall keep an eye out for the DVD.

After having thought about "El Dorado", it stuck in my mind so I had to watch it before I went to bed last night. Thought I would watch "Rio Bravo" tonight but cannot find my DVD.

Thank God, "Lord of the Rings" is not a western and will not get mentioned in this thread, at the moment doubt if I could sit up all night and watch all three episodes in one go.

The game was class with a right good back story, hope the film impresses as much when/if it gets made
