Fine collection of American westerns on show here, & there’s many classics involving John Wayne, Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Gary Cooper, Clint Eastwood to Kevin Costner which is a excellent base of a collection together with the great western directors out there who made some fine ones too. No doubt one’s collection always grows in a genre we love, so keep on collecting 😎👍

Cool video as usual Jeff, I never tire of these collection overviews you do. That's quite an impressive collection of US Westerns there my friend. Believe it or not, I don't have anywhere near the number both you and Donny Cinemaniac Seventy7 have. For whatever reason I prefer the Italian Westerns over the home-grown product here in the States, but I still have my favorites. The Ox-Bow Incident is one of the best Black & White Westerns ever filmed, what a compelling and fascinating tale. At first I wasn't sure James Stewart could pull off being in a Western, but films like The Naked Spur, Bandolero!, and Firecreek proved me wrong, he did great. The Magnificent Seven from 1960 is a must see, that it's a loose remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is even cooler. Sometimes I forget United Artists did that first before Leone decided to copy Yojimbo for a Fistful of Dollars. Charles Bronson did some very impressive Westerns as well, Breakheart Pass being my personal favorite of his. My dad told me once it was one of the few films he did where the critics praised his performance, and he is quite nuanced as John Deakin. Chato's Land has an impressive premise, but for some reason I couldn't get into the film, the trippy atmosphere it had was just too weird, and I like weird from time to time. Bronson is still amazing as the title character though. I really wanna give the Peckinpah Westerns another try, especially The Wild Bunch, Major Dundee, and Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. I've got this love-hate relationship when it comes to John Wayne, but I love Big Jake as a film - good story, characters, action, and atmosphere. It sill surprises me how edgy of film Hang 'Em High is but damn it's an impressive early vigilante revenge Western. Same for High Plains Drifter, which my parents saw back in the day at the theater when they were dating. Unforgiven is one of the last really epic scale Westerns to have come out in the 90's, good stuff. Open Range is a slow burn watch for me, but still well done. I'm surprised you haven't got Johnny Guitar in your collection, that is an excellent Feminist Western. Joan Crawford and Mercedes McCambridge have more testosterone than all the male characters put together, they are that tough. Take care my friend, hope you're well, and speak to you soon.

Thanks Stepen, yeah there are definitely plenty of American westerns out there I’ve yet to watch and add to the collection, but i do still prioritise the spaghetti westerns first however. But still plenty of great ones out there for sure, “Ox bow incident” though a slow burn was still a really good watch and though not being a all time favorite it’s still a important one for sure. Yeah James Stewart has done some really good one, think his ones will be the ones I’ll try and hunt down a copy of in the near future. “Magnificent seven” is a stone cold classic, great cast & story plus a wonderful score. It pretty much has it all. Can’t go wrong with any Bronson ones to be fair, “Breakheart pass” is a really great one I agree, pretty underrated actually. Chato’s Land I always like but must admit the first time around I pretty shared your views on it, but with each subsequent viewing i love it more and more. And definitely a great showcase for Bronson as the hard man of very few words. Peckinpah has done fantastic ones as well, can’t wait for the upcoming release of “Pat Garrett & Billy the kid”. I’ll be honest I didn’t think i would enjoy John Wayne and his films as much as i do at first but the strong majority of the ones I’ve seen have been really good. I do seem to prefer most of later ones (60’s & 70’s) though, and yeah “Big Jake” is a definite favorite of mine as well. “Hang ‘em high” is great and Eastwood definitely brought the spaghetti feel & vibe with him to that one. “High plains drifter” is even more spaghetti feeling, i really feel it’s Clint doing his own take on what Leone did and it’s really damn good. “Unforgiven” & “Open range” are two prime examples of westerns still having a place and audience today. Same with Dances with wolves, Bone Tomahawk and the Tarantino ones which all are some of the best of the last 20-30 years. And really exited to see Costner’s upcoming Horizon project which hopefully will open the doors for some more modern westerns to be made. “Johnny Guitar” is another I’ll have to pick up in the near future, haven’t seen it to be honest yet but heard many fantastic things about it. 👍👍
