I adore westerns that show off the Hollywood version of the old west pioneer days... rodeo fans would love the ranch rodeo scenes from John Wayne's "McClintock".. massive piece of history in there wowsers would never allow it these days.
A fav for me is still Rio Bravo with John Wayne, Dean Martin and young Ricky Nelson. The music the scenery the plot and gunfights it's all there.
Clint Eastwoods Best was his last.. "The Unforgiven" shook off his spaghetti western image forever and "God Dammit" Gene Hackman is best ever supporting Western Actor he's mean.
Still whistling "My Rifle, My Pony and Me" from Rio Bravo.. great tune...
