    ***Official 2nd Annual HTF Western Movies/TV Shows Challenge 2025***

    I posted briefly about this film earlier in this thread regarding the finale. It is a terrific film and endlessly entertaining. Seeing another post on the topic reminded me of one thing that always stuck with me... Despite 'roughing it' for any number of days in the woods, the cast of the...

    Personally speaking I would rate it higher; but certainly film appreciation is very subjective. I've considered revisiting it for the purposes of this thread, although I could probably just blindly describe every sequence in the film from its stylized introduction of our three primary...

    I had a friend over today for our usual viewing sessions. (Typically we get together to watch various streaming shows and films.) Courtesy of this very thread I purchased the Criterion Blu Ray of The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck from 1950. For both my friend and myself this was a first...

    Absolutely, positively agree. I loved the theatrical version of Chingachgook's closing narration for its brevity and emotion. Conversely, I really despised the extended narration which felt like a 'Dummies Guide to The Last of the Mohicans'. We just watched the film; we didn't need a primer...

    Holden definitely had a certain ineffable screen presence which made him a compelling figure. I've never seen Escape From Fort Bravo but will have to remedy that at some point. ( My experience with classic Westerns has some holes in it, and this thread is costing me a few dollars. :) ) - Walter.

    My participation will be fairly limited due to other viewing priorities, but I felt like I should at least revisit a few favorites for this annual HTF thread. No better place to start than one of my favorite Westerns... Once Upon A Time In The West (1968) I consider this film to be one of the...

    Absolutely, positively one of the attractions of Home Theater. I love seeing older films that predate my theatrical viewing days via Front Projection. I was able to see Outland theatrically and like it quite a bit. When Outland was playing theatrically, I worked at a company whose chief...
