Everybody has a favorite western movie, mine is Lonesome Dove! Just for fun one time while I was still working I made up a cast of characters from the guys at work who would play all the lead role's in the movie. I had a "Blue Duck", a "Gus", A "Woodrow", a "Miss Lorena", etc. One of the secretaries in the office gave me permission ahead of time to be Miss Lorena, Diane Lane!! It was a hoot & everyone in the place loved it. What's your favorite movie?
If you were directing Lonesome Dove & used the Single Actions Forum members, "The Dawg" would have to fit in somewhere....... Some other movies would also be great but this one had so many interesting roles being played out, including Danny Glover.

My favorite western is Appaloosa. The way things have been going for me lately my part in Lonesome Dove would be the kid that fell off his horse in the river and got bit all up by water moccasins. Axe would be the French saloon owner that killed himself cause his one and only whore that he was in love with left town. I'll think of more later but you're right Mr. Thompson, this is fun!

Lonesome Dove is a fantastic movie and hard to beat. It's so hard to pick a favorite, though. Outlaw Josie Wales, Unforgiven...

Two that I have saved on my IPad for emergency boredom relief or use on a plane flight,......Valdez is coming and The Professionals.
There are many other classics and new ones too, Crossfire Trail or Quigley down under,.....Wayne, Mitchum, Selleck, or Eastwood all are excellent.

Omg, Dick!! I see you have been out in the sun or got tick bit. I will hijack a Schwans ice
cream truck and be up to your rescue.
Favorite western, that is like asking what is your favorite mold, caliber or dog.
I refuse to participate. There have been a pile of good westerns on the last month or so here locally. Hanni Caulder was on last week.

Most Clint Eastwood movies qualify but Unforgiven is tops right now. Tombstone is a close second.

Quigley Down Under
Broken Trail
And though it's not really a western, it's still a movie I enjoy. Last of the Mohichans.

Quigley Down Under and McLintock. Whenever those two are on tv I stop what I am doing and watch them.

Shane....... every time Jack Palance walked into the room the dog would get up and leave..... after he blasts the bad guys and spins his Colt back to his holster.... Classic
PS... for heavy emotion listen to "Dixie" played on harmonica when the Rebel is buried and his dog is there....

The Magnificent Seven with Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen.
The Professionals with Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster.
Hour of the Gun with James Garner and Jason Robards.
Big Jake with John Wayne.
The Fastest Gun Alive with Glenn Ford.
Lawman with Burt Lancaster.
There are others but these six are a pretty good start.

Lonesome Dove is a good one. I also like The The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and love Unforgiven. Although I bet I'm in a minority here I really love True Grit, the remake of the old John Wayne movie.
A sleeper that's good if you haven't seen it is Blackthorn.
Edited to add. I know it's not a movie but I have seen Deadwood from HBO beginning to end at least 4 times.
