Unforgiven: (Well, he shouldda armed himself, if he's gonna start decorating his saloon with my friend.)
Blazing Saddles; (Where all the white women at?)
---------------------------
TV-
Bonanza
High Chaporal
Big Valley
Bold: One of those two had "Maria" in it... She was melt in your mouth beautiful...
She, and "Maria" off Sesame Street is probably how I got hooked on Hispanic Women!
And, at times- Gunsmoke.

My personal favorite is The Outlaw Josey Wales. I liked Open Range, Wyatt Earp was okay. Wild Bill was good too.
Great movie, The Outlaw Josey Wales! My unit used to get together at the "Tops" house and BBQ, drink beer and watch The Outlaw Josey Wales. Ok Quintin, how many times did Clint spit on something or someone?

Best line in 'The Outlaw Josey Wales'...
"We thought about it for a long time, "Endeavor to persevere." And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union."

I remember a Western that was similiar but it was not High Chaparrel.
At 10 pm it popped into my head, 'Cimmaron Strip'.
The Marshal was always looking after and explaining things and pleading to 'Dulcy' the young woman who was not his love interest but more like a ward. Stuart Whitman was the marshal.

Westerns generally depict native Americans in derogatory and false portrayals that ultimately make the white boys look good and the native people savages.
Now The Quick and The Dead, that was a western.
Get your genres right dude !

But as mentioned many times, Lonesome Dove is in a class by itself. Best thing ever made for TV.
