What a great time to grow up in the US. There were so many great Western shows and films where good always triumphed over evil. Perhaps in another video, later western series such as The Virginian can be included.
Brings back fond memories of my youth in the 50s! Of these, my favorites were (in no particular order): 1. Have Gun -- Will Travel (note that the word Paladin has accent on first syllable: PAL-a-din :) ) 2. Bonanza. 3. Wagon Train 4. The Lone Ranger 5. Zorro 6. The Rifleman 7. Maverick (James Garner lead only!) And how about some future love for: 1. The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin 2. Sugarfoot 3. The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickcock 4. Sky King (never heard you mention this one so far on the channel!) 5. Fury 6. My Friend Flicka Thanks for the memories!
Major Dundee and Cavalry Charge inspired a Play Pattern with my son. He had Union and Confederate toy soldiers, Alamo Mexicans, and Cowboys and Indians. Both those movies had Union and Confederate and some Cowboys against Native Americans, and in Dundee against Mexican Army. So he had Union, Confederate, and Cowboys forced to team up against a combined force of Native Americans and Mexican Army. And both sides had cannons. Now, his Native Americans had more guns than most sets, but the Mexican Army still provided most of the firepower.
I loved the Davy Crockett series as a kid. My brother and I each had a coonskin cap and a leather vest with fringe and a Davy Crockett emblem. I think of the films listed Bad Day at Black Rock would have to be my favourite. I always thought Spencer Tracy’s paralyzed arm was unnecessary though.
Of these, the one most beloved and remembered by me is My Name Is Nobody. My Name Is Nobody has better direction, cinematography, writing, acting and pacing than the vast majority of Westerns. I can watch that anytime (have done so many times) and still enjoy. Can't say the same for the others here.
My favorite movie is The Man from Laramie. My mom and I watched it whenever was shown on TV and then we bought the disc so we could watch it any time. ❤❤🎉😊
You left out "Tom Horn" 1980 Steve McQueen's Pen-ultimate film , " The Culpepper Cattle Company " 1972 and of Course the film America wants to forget "Soldier Blue " 1971.
There is nothing wrong with playing a character not of your ethnicity. It's acting. It's all fake. Why should white nations have to import foreigners for our entertainment? Seems a bit crass.
Jimmy Stewart used the same horse, Pie, He said the horse knew when he was being filmed. In The Far Country where Pie walked into the town on his own. Jimmy said he just pointed the horse and told him to walk, and the horse did it. How about doing a video on the horses' other stars used, Silver, Trigger, and Champ for a few.
Im sorry but Idris Elba isn't a GREAT actor he's mediocre at best and I'm sick of seeing him everywhere. In movies , TV, radio, magazines, podcasts. Enough already. Stick to playing 3rd cockney from the left and give some truly great actors work to do.
These great Westerns are emblematic of the classic directing style of the day -- still cameras, often wide-lens focus to blur backgrounds, to highlight the actor(s) in a scene. Today's camera movements are more jerky, and blur-focus is almost nonexistent. Of these, my favorites are The Man from Laredo and Bad Day at Black Rock. There have been few pairings as memorable as Anthony Mann and James Stewart, especially in the Western genre. Grateful for their collaboration!
'The Wild Bunch' was the definition of the Epic Western. 'Silverado', 'Villa Rides', 'Professionals', and 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' with their ensemble cast and long durations belong to this Epic Western list, and yet you didn't include them.
True Grit with Jeff Bridges was the closest to besting the original but didn’t! The also did a remake of Red River with James Arness but it doesn’t matchup either!
Even more than John himself, the directorial styles of his era were so superior to those of the present that there's no comparison. BTW, RIP to Kris Kristofferson (Stagecoach, 1986)-- Rhodes scholar, poet, songwriter extraordinaire.....
What WWII movies did John Wayne and Kirk Douglas make together? I saw a clip of one I had never seen before. It was not one of the well know ones. A mystery! it was like Operation Pacific where Douglas play sort of a renegade.
People are often critical of John Wayne's performance in True Grit as being too jokey but it was essential for the pay off in the meadow gun fight. Up to that point he'd been a somewhat sad old man. When the film was released the classic western heroes were being dismissed in favor of grittier depictions from the likes of Eastwood and the earlier scenes made it seem like even John Wayne had succumbed. Then "Fill your hands.." and the Duke proves that heroes can still be heroic.
“Wait a second-“ The Frisco Kid is one of my favorites! Harrison Ford was a perfect foil for Gene Wilder. That’s why they’re called supporting actors. Thanks for the warnings about the rest!
True Grit; the remake had an actual girl, in the original Kim Darby was terrible, Glen Campbell was okay at best. But Bridges is no John Wayne and the showdown is nowhere near as good. The Duke with a pistol and a twirling Winchester is FAR superior to Jeff with 2 pistols. So while the remake was better in some ways With the Duke A, With Jeff B! The Alamo; probably more accurate, but again Billy Bob is no John Wayne! Alamo with the Duke A-, Alamo with Billy Bob C, being generous. Stagecoach: No comparison! The entire Cast, top to bottom was Legends! Stagecoach with the Duke A+, 1960s B-, Country Singers version C, again being generous.
@bravehome4276 I don't watch 'High School Movies' anyway so I don't care. I find them boring, and with nothing but juvenile humor. How many fart jokes do you need to have?
I do like both the True Grit films, and my favourite Star in both movies is Rooster Cogburn, he was played by Warren Oates, in a TV film I'm no fan of that one.
All Cylinders point toward Sammy Davis Jr...and it was rumored he and a jazz singer named Mel Torme had the finest collection of Colt Single Actions in the world..
Sammy was very good. Here is the first guy to teach Sammy in the early fifties. He and Sammy continued to draw against each other over the years but Sammy never quite surpassed him. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iAMgkiR4Dxw.htmlsi=LM9SjX309Ojc6p3U
