Are there fans of old westerns here among us?
I drew my son-in-law’s name for Xmas. He’s a western fan and my home area is known for movies, especially westerns so I’m looking at titles of classics to get him.
If you have a fav in these or a suggestion and I could see if was filmed in the Owens Valley area or close.

It wasn’t filmed in the Owens Valley, but damn, if Shane isn’t a great Western, I don’t know what is.
The Professionals is also great.
@mikeharmanos I’ll check The Professionals, it doesn’t sound familiar.
@NorCalCherylLyn oh my - what a cast.
Burt Lancaster is the lead.
Jack Palance is the bad guy.
Claudia Cardinale is the bombshell.
Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Ralph Bellamy, and Woody Strode are all in it.
@Tarnagh @NorCalCherylLyn Not bad for a coal cracker from Pennsylvania…
@Tarnagh @mikeharmanos he was always good! And apparently a pretty nice, normal, guy according to my Gma.
@NorCalCherylLyn @mikeharmanos
He was so good at "creepy."
I laughed so hard when I saw they got him to host Ripley's Believe it or Not. He was perfect there, too. 🙂
@Tarnagh @mikeharmanos he was so perfect for that show. Very dramatic!
@mikeharmanos ok now I have to see it! What a cast.
@mikeharmanos @NorCalCherylLyn
I was going to say.
I'm not really a fan of "westerns" as such, but I've always thought well of anything I saw Jack Palance in.
Seems like you couldn't go wrong with a western with him in it.
