The best and worst western movies:

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.

Well I guess today we have to add "The Apple Dumpling Gang" to the best list....Tin Conway & Don Knotts....corny fun for kids that's for sure. My son loved it on VHS when he was little.

Well I sure agree about this one, but as one of the worst Westerns. That and Three Amigos.

The movie "John Carter" starts out as a western, then takes on a scifi theme. I enjoyed it. Watch on Netflix.

I am a huge fan of the movie John Carter. I have it on Bluray and have watched it four times. I don’t care at all for the actor, but “The Incomparable Deja Thoris” is a whole ‘nuther situation. Woohoo!

Funny trivia, in the ER Burroughs novels everybody, men and women, goes around stark naked except for their leather fighting harnesses....

What's better than Tombstone? Watching it twice back to back on AMC like I am doing right now!
