For those of you who love Westerns, Old Henry on Amazon Streaming is terrific, Tim Nelson, who played in O Brother Where Art Thou, Stephen Dorff, Trace Adkins, he’s a very good actor, this has a very supriseing twist, you gonna love it.  |

Best Western?!
I'm not into Westerns, but the last one I enjoyed was The Revenant.

They really screwed up THE REVENANT. They invented a son, 'cuz they couldn't believe a man would do what he did to reclaim his rifle. And get a little revenge, too.

They based the movie on the book "THE REVENANT", 2002. But the "original" book about this true story was published in 1954. It was called "LORD GRISLY". I read it when I was about 15 years old. A very good book as I recall. From Wikipedia: "Lord Grizzly is a 1954 biographical novel by Frederick Manfred." "The novel was a bestseller and it was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1955." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Grizzly |

Since Tim Blake Nelson is mentioned, "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" is worth a watch,. Funny!

Well, it's free and they offer free motorcycle towels for wiping down the bikes in the morning. You can always grab a cup of coffee and a danish and grab a better breakfast up the street. The ones in Texas have Texas-shaped waffle makers and good batter. And they are less expensive than places with fancy breakfasts. |

I agree that "Tombstone" was one of the best ever. "Unforgiven" not far behind. "Open Range" was a noble effort.
"My Darling Clementine" and "Shane" both rank high on my list.
Val Kilmer's performance should have earned an Academy Award.
