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.
Sons of Katie Elder
Nevada Smith
Will Penny
Joe Kidd
How The West Was Won
The Shootist
1/2
I’m tempted to get him a few nonwesterns to round out his movies from home. Your fav?
Tremors
Bad Day at Black Rock
High Sierra
Star Trek V or Generations
The Longest Trailer
The Other Side of the Mountain
@p3R1n01D LOVE Tremors so much! 😁
@InUnfunky you’ve got some catching up to do 😁
Apparently.
It's a good thing that it's NOT baseball season, as said catching up becomes feasible. 🤓
Hold up -- Star Trek Generations I HAVE seen. 👍
But Tremors I will probably STILL take a pass on. 😮 🤔 😆
@InUnfunky Tremors is a campy, hysterical, movie populated with monsters and Desert Rats… the people I grew up with. 😄
From the Movie Museum in Lone Pine..
As a former vhs/dvd rental store clerk, I am well-aware of its status amongst movie fans.
🤓 I try to avoid all films with Kevin Bacon (save for “Animal House,” heh) but I’ll add it to “the list.” Maybe I’ll get to it before spring training. 😁
@InUnfunky I miss the video store days!
Bacon is ok but the rest of the cast are excellent! Reba is so damn funny.
Oh right! She’s in it, and Fred Ward too.
Okay, I’ll report back when I watch it. 👍🤓
I miss the video store days, too. ❤️
@InUnfunky hope you lol at it
@Bix @InUnfunky another I’ve never heard of. 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah yeah yeah, I know. To the list it goes.
Be advised, Cheryl Lyn — pretty sure “Bone Tomahawk” is kinda like if “The Hills Have Eyes” was a western. I think. 😉
(See also “Ravenous” which I HAVE seen. Also with Guy Pearce is “The Proposition.” Brutal flicks.)
Of course, Kurt is in Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight.”
“Outland” is “High Noon” in space. 😄
@InUnfunky @Bix Hateful Eight traumatized me as most of Tarantino’s films do. But it was well done… 🫣
Hmmm, western horror? I’ll try it.
That reminds me about Cowboys & Aliens. Liked that one.
@NorCalCherylLyn
You can't beat Tremors! ❤️ 🤣
For westerns, Magnificent Seven with Yule Brenner is one of my all-time favorites. But the other suggestions here are great, too.
