the road to hell is paved with iPhones

[hafital]

Well, I did it, and ordered an iPhone. Won't come till sometime next week, don't ask me way, but that's okay. I can wait. I resisted it for so long but finally caved, which is rather the story of much of my life in many ways.

Never say I'm not a follower. lol.

Went to see the film True Grit which I did enjoy, although they kill a lot of

Westerns:
Rio Diablo
Wyatt Earp
Tombstone
Dances with Wolves
The Gambler
Warlock
The Law and Jake Wade
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
Apache Uprising
Wanted: Dead or Alive (TV series)

Netflix has all of these

[hafital]

Oh, and I've seen Dances with Wolves.

[hafital]

I've seen and am very familiar with Wyatt Earp and Tombstone (LOVE Tombstone lol) but I don't think I've seen the rest. Thanks!

[arenee1999]

Yeah, I figured you'd probably seen Dances with Wolves, Tombstone and Wyatt Earp. ;p

I should probably mention the last 5 of those have DeForest Kelley in them :)

Warlock, for the odd central pairing
Johnny Guitar -- Joan Crawford squares off against Mercedes McCambridge
Invitation to a Gunfighter, for Yul Brynner
The Magnificent Seven -- because you just have to see it
The Gunfighter (1950, Gregory Peck)
The Outlaw (1943) -- that one with Jane Russell's breasts; but the interplay of Doc Holliday, Pat Garrett, and Billy the Kid is what really makes it for slashers

I have mixed feelings about The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, mainly because of John Wayne, ugh, who shifted the focus of the movie from the original story. But it's important, like The Wild Bunch

[hafital]

hmmm, good good. I haven't seen any of these, although I feel I must have seen at least some of Magnificent Seven, 'cause I definitely know about it. hah.

[destina]

Unforgiven (the Clint Eastwood masterpiece)
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (original, with Burt Lancaster)
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
High Noon
My Darling Clementine
Red River
Magnificent Seven (the one, the only, the original)
Pale Rider

[hafital]

Thank you, thank you. I have seen Unforgiven when it came out, and I saw High Noon at one point, but I don't think I've seen the rest. whee!

I looove Westerns. Lots of good recs here. Have to third Magnificent Seven as one of my favourites of all time.

For something slightly different, you could try Dead Man by Jim Jarmusch, starring Johnny Depp. Totally weird but good.

[hafital]

I really like 'em, too! They always have some fun dynamics.

You know, i think I did rent that when I was going through my Johnny Depp phase, but now I can't recall. I'll have to double check.

I'm an unapologetic John Wayne fan, so:
Rio Bravo
The Sons of Katie Elder (the contemporary "Four Brothers" is a rework of this)
The War Wagon
Stagecoach (the original, none of the remakes)
The Shootist
Hondo
Angel and the Badman

Kirk Douglas made a couple of good ones:
Man Without a Star
Lonely are the Brave

Two Gary Cooper movies:
High Noon
The Virginian

Paul Newman:
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Cool Hand Luke
Hombre

and just for fun:
The Frisco Kid
Blazing Saddles

[hafital]

Thanks! I'll def have to check out Hombre. I've seen those other Paul Newman films, but not that one. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is of course classic and the epitome of western slashiness, although at least more lighthearted than is typical. Westerns can be so... what's the word I'm looking for? tragic I guess. LOL.

[adonnchaid]

There are some more light-hearted westerns :)

The Mel Gibson Maverick movie
The Comancheros (John Wayne & Stuart Whitman)
McLintock!
Paint Your Wagon

[hafital]

Love Maverick! Although I've sworn off Mel Gibson movies, I do love that film.
