Remember when they made great Western's

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

I have always been fond of western movie's .... and they make them less and less nowadays .... I just watched a new one " 1883 " .... ( on Paramount network ) ... It tells the story of how " Yellowstone " ( also Paramount TV ) and the Dutton family began .... It's definitely not for children, it's a Western for Adults ..... enjoy .... Mike .... PS .. Sam Elliot is the star ..... :thumbup:

I saw it too, and enjoyed it. We are 10 year Nevadans, and just got some property in Montana. I like the old westerns, too! When we travel, Grit TV is almost always available. I tend to watch and learn.

[Little Blue]

:agree: Great Western movies are the best. Old and some of the New. (L,V).

To each person and the best choice for your entertainment. I love the B and W the best. ...:thumbup:

Have to check that out, we're heavily addicted to Yellowstone.

Yellowstone is one of the best current tv series. I didn’t watch 1883 yet. I’ll give it a shot.

[spyder01]

I like old westerns but I havent seen Yellowstone yet. Used to watch the Rifleman a lot.

[ATGATTER]

Count me in.
My fav? - Once Upon A Time In The West - Charles Bronson, Jason Robarts, Claudia Cardinale and Henry Fonda ( playing a bad guy beautifully )

:agree:

I like the old Clint Eastwood stuff as well. We watch Yellowstone and saw 1883 last night :2thumbs:

[ARtraveler]

1883 sounds like a good "go to" movie.

We also like old westerns. Compared to some of the stuff being shown on TV these days.

On our cable network we get a channel called INSP TV. It is ALL western movies and western sitcoms. Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, Rifleman, etc. On Saturday and Sunday evenings (prime time) they show full length western features. You can get plenty of the Duke, and many of the older black & white westerns.

The latest (western) Clint Eastwood movie is not bad.

My favorite " Lonesome Dove ", the series. Many great actors and was more realistic than most.

:agree: We still watch The Virginian nightly; Love watching the really old black and white Westerns Like Red River, and all the 40's and 50's John Wayne movies.
'73 Winchester is still one of the best!! :firstplace: :yes: YIKES!! :yikes: How could I forget my ALL-TIME favorite: Lonesome Dove!?!

[canamjhb]

A lot of like-minded folks here. Love westerns. Lonesome Dove was great. I spend a lot of evenings on the Grit channel. One series I'm currently watching for the 2nd time is McLeod's Daughters. Not a true "western" unless you count Australia. Some of the very best character acting I have seen. Great series and very addictive..... Jim

and "Quigley Down Under" Tom Sellick always a good western style actor.

The wife & I are addicted to Yellowstone and now are enjoying 1883 too ..!!! Good stuff..!

Well " 1883 " is an on-going TV series , but of " movie " quality. Meaning they are spending a lot of money making it ..... Mike :thumbup:

[wyliec]

Mike,

Did you notice Tom Hanks in the second episode?

Same as with Yellowstone, you can really tell.

[canamjhb]

I watched the Premier episode of 1883 this evening. I don't have any pay TV apps but I did get the first episode streaming on YouTube. Anybody know how often new episodes come out? Or, am I one and done on YouTube..... Jim

I have " DISH " basic .... and I get the Paramount channel .... I think " 1883 " is going to be a weekly show like " Yellowstone " .... Mike :thumbup:

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Mike,

I haven't seen it yet ..... Tom Hanks did a very good western earlier this year . ...... " News of the World " ..... Mike :thumbup:

[pegasus1300]

Never seen Yellowstone, but I did just get thru watching "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon"

If you liked the 1st episode, you're going to love the 2nd.

[Raven]

My vote goes to both versions of "Stagecoach".
The first one with John Wayne and the second with Slim Pickins .

[Lew L]

Have to check that out, we're heavily addicted to Yellowstone.

+1 Same here. Looking for Yellowstone whiskey

Actually, I think the acting, directing, on-location filmography are all much better the last 10 years or so. The scripts, character development are also more nuanced and richer. Spaghetti westerns and one-dimensional characters were okay back in the day, but ...
