Can You Recommend A Western Film or Series?

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.

Let's not forget Quigley Down Under. And as RR included, Hostiles is one of my favorites too.
I've seen Quigley all the way through or just stopped to scroll and watch a scene so many times it's silly. It's among the best good vs bad westerns ever. Also loved the Hostiles and The Hateful Eight. The Revenant was awesome, too. Another excellent modern western movie is The Edge with Anthony Hopkins... "Did you know that you can make fire from ice?

Open Range.
Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner with a great supporting cast.
We have watched it several times.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Landman. Not a true western, but Texas based and lots of hats and boots. Awesome series.
I'd love to see this. Prime only offers the first three episodes. Eventually, I'll get to see it.
It’s really well written. You can just do the 7 day free trial of Paramount+ and watched two per night, the cancel after 7 days. We don’t pay for cable so rotate two streaming services at a time. Watch all the good stuff on one, then go to the next one.

Winchester '73 is a classic. Have to check out the others...
