Putting together this post made us realize that there are still hundreds of westerns for us yet to see ( and many more forgotten films from our past to revisit ), so it is certainly not complete! But that's the fun part about watching movies....there are so many films to explore. It's an endless form of entertainment!
This post is our contribution to Legends of Western Cinema Week hosted by Along the Brandywine, Hamlette's Soliloquy and Meanwhile, in Rivendell. Be sure to stop by any of these blogs for a chance to win some western-themed prizes, participate in a tag, and read reviews of favorite westerns and western stars.
So glad you're participating and LOVED your post.

Likewise! I was happy to see a bunch of familiar titles/old friends and excited to see some more I hadn't heard of. I think that's part of the excitement -- there really is something for everyone, and so many we won't run out anytime soon, so yay! ;) ;)
I'm discovering a lot more titles just through this Legends of the West week! It's a vast territory to enjoy.
DeleteI am so looking forward to your piece on Tribute to a Bad Man.
ReplyDeleteOh, that colour photo from Angel and the Badman!
So many memories stirred by this photo essay. And there were a couple of new titles to me! So excited.
Yes, I too had to do a double-take on that Angel photo. If the colorized film looks that good I'm wondering why I put off watching it this long.
DeleteMy TBW list is getting longer and longer this week. And some movies that have been on it for a long time are getting bumped up a lot higher. Like Man from the Alamo -- I think I'll watch that this weekend at long last!
ReplyDeleteSo many beloved movies here, and quite a few I've yet to enjoy. Love this post!
Glad we share some favorites!
