Thanks. Added to my watchlist.

Bad Day at Black Rock…….from 1955……..wonderful.

Cry Macho is a hot mess. Don’t waste your time

[Secret Agent Man]

To be honest the only stuff i can recall close is wild wild west reboot, and cowboys and aliens. The dances with wolves costner vehicle...

They dont do westerns as we clasicly know them, anymore.

That’s partly what intrigued me about Old Henry. It looks about as old fashioned as a 2021 movie can be. Yes, it’s a familiar, perhaps hackneyed plot that we’ve seen before: don’t underestimate the funny looking quiet guy. But it looks well done.

[Obadiah]

Can’t think of many recent ones, but Kelly’s Heroes is among my favorites.

[bdfromlv]

seemed an excellent set of morality plays about the life in the west.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I hope you like it. It was a Netflix recommendation for me. Nothing bombastic, more cerebral, and understated.

Homo Erotica/Leather thrash like the remake of ‘3:10 to Yuma’

I think you saw a different 3:10 to Yuma remake than I did.

[A Navy Vet]

Tombstone used to be my favorite until Open Range came along. That movie emphasizes the free spirit of America. I always thought Unforgiven was over-rated, except for the end.

Eastwood's non-western movie, GRAN Torino, was his best. He wrote the screenplay, produced, directed, and starred in it. It works on so many levels. "Get off my lawn".

If the “Grit” channel broadcasts in your area they play only westerns and they are from all eras.

They Call Me Trinity

[Organic Panic]

A couple I recently watched streaming.

“The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” - Short Story Westerns
“Savages” - Christian Bale
“In a Valley of Violence” - Ethan Hawke
“Hateful Eight” - Kurt Russel
“The Ridiculous Six.” - Terry Crews
“Hell On Wheels” Colm Meaney
“Bone Tomahawk” - Kurt Russel

Oh Yeah. @*(&$ Hollywood

[Alberta's Child]

If I was eve faced with a dangerous, demoralizing task with a minuscule probability of success … and I needed to complete that task to save the future of my family and country … and I could pick one movie character to help me through the ordeal … it would be the Christian Bale character in “3:10 to Yuma.”

That combination of grit, determination, and simple humility could accomplish more than a dozen Jedi Masters.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

I haven’t followed what is new from Hollywood since I stopped reading newspapers. Plus, generally there isn’t much of interest. I like westerns, though. Thanks for the tips.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Not too bad.

[Alberta's Child]

LOL. Very good!

“No one gave it to me, son. I fought for it.”

TMC has stopped showing John Wayne movies.

[Bernard Marx]

Agree. The last one was a little scary, wasn’t it? You never know who your fellow stagecoach passenger is...

[sphinx]

Did TCM make any announcement? Films roll from one service to another pretty regularly. As of right now, the TCM site shows They Were Expendable, Flying Leathernecks, Stagecoach, and The Green Berets. That’s only four John Wayne movies and only one western, but John Wayne has not been completely purged. I assume the other films migrated elsewhere.
