If John Wayne was one of the best ever, who is the worst today? IMO Any film or vid with Andy Dick. Even his name reflects his shitty work. Oh a close second is David Spade. His Joe Dirt character is exactly that.
 
IMO the last really good western made was Clint Eastwood's "UNFORGIVEN" I wish westerns would come back but it just doesn't have the following that it did when there were around 25 western series on TV back in the 60s. Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Wanted dead or alive, Cheyenne, Laramie, Rifleman, The Virginian & Big Valley just to name a few.

OK, Modern Westerns weren't included in my broad spectrum... I was more talking traditional westerns...

Oh. They made shitty westerns in the old days because;;;;;;;;;; the revolvers never ran out of ammo, the Indians were mass murderers and stupid, women either whore in the salon, attached to a large stew pot or baked in the field and the clean shaven asshole hero never sweat. Also the complete western history of this country was dictated by chinsey scripts written by clueless jackasses from the city. Would you agree? Since the History channel was invented it changed my perspective of the asshole white man citizen of this US government.. What they did to the Chinese on the railroads is another novel of distaste.

Hey Rick. Clint exposed the cruel jackasses who kept women and the afflicted down under their boot. He actually awakened people and this movie illustrated that point to the "T" Clint was and is THE best Western role actor ever. Ponderosa,Wagon train and Hop a long Cassidy dudes are 1960's advertising agency bullshit. Big PLUS to ya :drinkapint:

I've always loved Eastwood's work, albeit Acting, Directing, or a combo thereof.....

Unforgiven is a Classic IMO, as well as Pale Rider, and of course any of His Spaghetti Western's.......Hell, I enjoy any and all of Clint's work, even if they're not Westerns..

...lol...good point. And did you ever noticed how incredibly accurate the indians were when shooting crooked arrows while bouncing up and down on a horse/
 
Not to mention that 90% of the Indians were played by white guys.

One of my favorite Western's not involving Eastwood, is: "Valdez Is Coming" uncanny how he hits everything (that is moving) a mile away, with an old Sharps Buffalo Rifle....

High Plains Drifter, or Hang 'em High..........:cowboy:

I bet Hollyweed, had GPS on those Crooked Arrows, (while galloping on Horses too), never have figured out, how they got those 6 shooters, to endlessly shoot ammo without reloading, still scratching my head........:smiley-hmm:

The Rifleman was late 50s early 60s. Have been lying about your age?

You know both Chuck Connor's and Jack Palance both lived about 1/2 hr north of here, in the Tehachapi Mts......not far from each other either........

2 Classics, Branded and Rifleman, or back to Clint with Rawhide.......

Good to cya'll.......

I took a last minute flight with a couple of buddies, off shore to Catalina Island,.....

Then we spent 2 days Parachuting, and I wish I hadn't, this body is not the shock absorber it once was.........

Last game I saw was Tanaka's, how's those Yanx been holding out, hell, I'm just now getting the news on the A.S. game, to many Royals still on the AL Squad.....!

Matts and 59.... Congrats.... The O's have faded and the Yankees are in first place. I knew the O's would disappoint me like this losing to the irrelevent Twins.

Rifleman which is on cable all the time. Actually saw the episode with Lee Van Cleef recently.

...Rifleman, to me, was much better because Branded was always the same theme each week...(He goes into a new town, they recognize him as "the coward:, he then saves someones life, and then seen as a hero instead of a coward.

+>I liked how Chuck could cock his Winchester 98 rifle and look the camera in the eye. The big Question is why Jack Palance never got his rotten teeth fixed. That dude needed an orthodontist.

...I have no doubt that the O's will be in the mix before it's over...Buck always seems to get the best out of what he's got.

Mmmm. That sounds like a George Bush residential campaign trick.
 
And did you ever notice in these westerns that whenever you saw poor people or hillbillies that they all had pearly white teeth?

> Matts You have to try a flight suit and actually dive towards the earth under G force, swoop on a unsuspecting Boston fan, take his B hat and land in your Ferrari. .

LMAO, now that sounds like FUN.......!

In fact, one guy in the baseball memorabilia store here asked me why I disliked the Bosox, and I replied: "I don't have anything about those hats with B's on them, or the dummies that wear them; after all, I do in fact own just one, which I've had for 40yrs, and keep it strictly in with my Camping Gear..........just in case I need a port a shitter, I've got one.....!!
