Spent my time off from Cheyenne based A&P School checking out the areas featured in the Tom Horn incident.

Kinda refreshing when Not all revolvers featured were Colt Peacemakers.;)
 
Lots of good movies and series mentioned.

All my favorites have been covered, but I grew up watching the Young Riders and definitely made sure I caught it each week.

Some old movies to add in the mix, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Nevada Smith. The Man from Snowy River to put another Australian one in the mix.

For new stuff I also really enjoyed Godless, and the Ballad of Buster Scruggs had a few good shorts in it, particularly liked the gold prospector one.
 
Marilyn Monroe made a western named "River of No Return" that was situated in the NW US in 1875.
Marilyn was a honky tonk singer and Robert Mitchum uses an 1893 Winchester against some indians.
There's excerpts of it on youtube. --->>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_of_No_Return

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
2005 ‧

Tommy Lee Jones western.

When brash Texas border officer Mike Norton (Barry Pepper) wrongfully kills and buries the friend and ranch hand of Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones), the latter is reminded of a promise he made to bury his friend, Melquiades Estrada (Julio Cesar Cedillo), in his Mexican home town. He kidnaps Norton and exhumes Estrada's corpse, and the odd caravan sets out on horseback for Mexico. As Estrada's body begins to rot, Norton begins to unravel, but Perkins remains determined to honor his vow.

I don't know if these have been mentioned yet:
Breakheart Pass

Death Hunt

Valdez is Coming



You know Death Hunt was a kick ass movie and with a Canadian western setting to boot...... Did like how Mr Bronson fortified his Log cabin turning the hunted to the hunter. All in the comfort of his house. Well till the Dynamite was brought out :(..

I might be the only guy here who didn't like Tombstone. I didn't think a single one of those actors struck me as "western". Like "The Quick and the Dead".

Get a rope!

Looks like only me and two others mentioned Tom Horn. I really liked that movie. Enough that I ordered it from WM. Reading this thread reminded me of how many great western movies have been made. And they told a story without sex and cursing like all movies today depend on to get people to watch them.
