Whats your favorite Western show or Movie ?

Hallmark Home Entertainment released a movie a few years ago entitled "Johnson County War". Not only is it a great story-line, additionally, the acting, scenery, music, costuming, and animal husbandry are all excellent. I have it on DVD and I'm sure that I've watched it at least 20 times.

The movie is based on a book entitled "Riders of Revenge". This is one of the few times that the movie is much better than the book.

Yep.

Liked Unforgiven. Seemed real.

Liked Lonesome Dove. Really liked the reality of terminology used in the movie. They did a great job researching.

Anything John Wayne did was a treat for me as a kid.

Liked most all that have been mentioned here too. We only had a couple of channels. Used to look forward to Bonanza (in living color) followed by High Chaparal when I was a kid, late at night. Never could stay awake for most of High Chaparal. Gunsmoke came on at a decent hour for a kid to watch. Rifleman was a Saturday afternoon treat if we weren't working. Wagon Train too.
 
Lonesome Dove. I love the philosophical side of Gus McCrae. If I could be anyone else, I would be Gus McCrae.

It's not dying I'm talking about, it's living.

Well, we chased out the Indians, didn't we? Hung all the good bandits. Did it ever occur to you that everything we done was a mistake? You and me done our work too well, Woodrow. Hell, we killed off all the people that made this country interesting to begin with, didn't we?

Well the first man comes along that can read Latin is welcome to rob us, far as I'm concerned. I'd like a chance t' shoot at a educated man once in my life.

Lorie darlin', life in San Francisco, you see, is still just life. If you want any one thing too badly, it's likely to turn out to be a disappointment. The only healthy way to live life is to learn to like all the little everyday things, like a sip of good whiskey in the evening, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk, or a feisty gentleman like myself.
 
Lonesome Dove by far favorite western movie, like all John Wayne westerns, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, still stop the TV to watch one if I scan by them.
Big fan of He!! on Wheels, looking forward to the Klondike(I think that's what it is called), it looks western-ish.

Ten Bears: It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.
