Some of us been around awhile, back in a time when Westerns were abound on the Television.

So many to chose from, so many countless hours.

Do you have a favorite?

I generally only like Clint Eastwood movies. My dad was a huge John Wayne fan, but I don't care for the Duke. He just seems like an arrogant ******* and I don't like the way he talks . I did kind of like Wagon Train, but that one also had Kirk Douglas, and I did like kirk douglas.

I like the strong silent type. Man with no name . Or blondie if you want to call him that.

Never cared for tv westerns, can't think of a single one I like. Though I admit I did watch Little House on the Prairie as a kid, but it was what my dad was watching, so I didn't have much choice. Does that count as a western?

As for movies, Unforgiven has been mentioned above. That is my favorite. Man with no name series is also very good.

One more I want to mentioned right now is called High Plains Drifter. He's just vicious in this, and I love that. Underrated film imho. Though definately not politically correct with treatment of women, keep that in mind if you see that

and I don't do musical westerns

I just finished Outlaw Josey Wales, another great Eastwood flick

High Plains Drifter is great!

for Pale Rider

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.

The only TV Western I can recall watching was Bonanza! (and it was bloody awful IIRC)

Two of my favorite John Wayne movies are The Searchers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
