How the West was Won?

noop.

Hollywood's cynical bitchassedness is no more evident than the failure to preserve the innovative experimental processes like Cinerama, Vistavision, IMAX, etc.  More than half of the 70mm IMAX domes have been demolished or converted to giant flat digital projection touted as "better" and "the most advanced in the world".

How the West was Won was 1 of only 2 films made with the 3-strip Cinerama process.   There may be a couple of people on this board who saw it in the theater in 1962 in Cinerama.

Anyway, Westerns....

Nice big noon host upgrade.

[XYZ 2154]

The best western ever is clearly “Red Sun” with Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune, and anyone who thinks differently should be immediately labeled a hilarious moron.

You guys might want to catch this segment on Fox where Urban is talking about the disparity between the playoff teams and everyone else. Might explain a bit why Urban may not be ready to jump back in.

I rewatched django unchained the other night it’s pretty damn good. True grit remake though is my all time.

Needs to expand to 8 and then there’s more of a free for all.  I think talent is concentrating again and that’s not cool for the sport.

Joel Klatt has talked about it before on his weekly segment on the Ticket here in Dallas. The CFP while enjoyable has made the richer get even richer and the poor even poorer. Unfortunately, we've combined bad coaching with not being relevant in the CFP era. So the talent we need to get into the CFP is going where they can get into the CFP or NFL. So if it's not Urban, we have to pray the next guy can coach up the existing talent and break the cycle. It's also why we can't afford another year of Tom Herman.

last year my girlfriend and I drove from the Rio Grande to the Milk River. Tried to follow the Goodnight Loving Trail as best we could. 

Great idea for a trip. 

[Duane Moore 5781]

The Searchers is my personal favorite, followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is a great one, but probably an hour longer than it needs to be. I’d echo @troph on the True Grit remake. Much better than I expected it to be. 
 

A good one from the 80’s is Silverado. It’s not in the Pantheon of Greatness, but a lot of fun to watch.

A lot of good suggestions above. My pick would be Once upon a Time in the West with Henry Fonda as the villain.

Shane was great. But I have to laugh at any list that doesn't include Tombstone or the original True Grit. I also have a soft spot for The Professionals, largely because of the star power of the cast.

I love watching the dynamic on that set. The guys obviously respond to "Coach" as the leader there, just as they would on the field. 

[TexMexBuddha 1012]

Not a western, but I loved Man Called Horse. The initiation scene was the bomb. As a kid, that was my introduction to a deeper appreciation of Native American life.
