See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 152) 03-31-25: “Unforgiven” (1992) (4K/UHD) 5/5 Stars I haven't much to say about this great western except to say that this film will go down as one of the best ever filmed. With its quotable dialogue from Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman along with...

It got a little old for me last night but I was tired and sleepy. I still remember debating this film with my classmates in 1974.

I just realized that I haven't watch one Clint Eastwood western during this challenge. On the final day of this challenge, I'm going to watch "Unforgiven" on 4K/UHD. The video presentation has been criticized for being too dark. I'm going to see how it looks on my new OLED.

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 145) 03-29-25: "The Cowboys" (1972) (Blu-ray) 3.5/5 Stars My first viewing of this John Wayne western was back when I was in high school during its theatrical release. TBH, I had an issue with the film because I wasn't ready for a major plot point...

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 142) 03-29-25: "Cow Country" (1953) (Max) 2.5/5 Stars I never heard of this western before noticing it this morning while browsing through classic movies on the Max app. This western was filmed in 1952, but was released in 1953 is too slow-moving...

As soon as I pulled it up, I noticed the cropping on the top and bottom. It doesn't look right because the DVD was 2.35 ratio.

I need to take a look.

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 140) 03-28-25: "The Burning Hills" (1956) (DVD) 2.5/5 Stars Last night, I decided to revisit a western I've seen a couple of times over the years. This Warner western was filmed and released in 1956 with Tab Hunter and Natalie Wood starring in it...

One thing I noticed this morning during my two viewings of "Red River" is that I recognized a couple of brief musical note sequences that Dimitri Tiomkin used again in "The Thing from Another World". Another great film directed by Hawks. :)

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 136) 03-28-25: "Red River: Theatrical Release" (1948) (Blu-ray) 4/5 Stars This classic western is about the first cattle drive that used the Chisholm Trail from Texas to Abilene Kansas on August 14, 1865. However, the movie starts off in 1851, when...

A bunch of westerns on sale at Kino's Spring Sale with many of them $9.99.

The production code was loosening up a bit in 1961. In another six years, it will be obliterated.

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 127) 03-26-25: "The Culpepper Cattle Co." (1972) (DVD) 3.5/5 Stars Another western that's been in my disc collection for a long time. A missed opportunity until last night. This is a good western similar in tone to "Bad Company". However, this...

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 124) 03-26-25: "News of the World" (2020) (4K/UHD) 4/5 Stars It took me five years to finally watch this 2020 western starring Tom Hanks. I had the 4K/UHD for almost four years. Anyway, I sat down this morning and watched it. It's 1870 in Texas, a...

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: I remember watching this western for the first time in a movie theater during its theatrical run. It's a great western and I like it more than any other Newman western including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 120) 03-25-25: "Colt .45: Small Man: Episode 5" (Blu-ray) 3.5/5 Stars I found this episode intriguing with Christopher Colt traveling on a stagecoach with another man to a town that he's visiting in order to investigate a local gang leader running a...

No worries, I'm watching the Blu-ray theatrical cut of "The Last of the Mohicans" later this week for this challenge.

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 115) 03-24-25: "Billy the Kid" (1941) (DVD) 2.5/5 Stars I haven't watched this 1941 Hollywood fictional story about William Bonney is several years. One reason for not watching this movie for so long is because I never liked the storyline changes...

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 112) 03-24-25: "Brigham Young" (1940) (DVD) 2/5 Stars I was having a bout of insomnia early this morning, so I decided to start watching some movies earlier than normal. First up is a 1940 Fox movie. I must say for having such an impressive cast of...

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 111) 03-23-25: "Rocky Mountain" (1950) (DVD) 4/5 Stars My last movie on Sunday night. This is probably my favorite Errol Flynn western and it's his last western. I think it's one of Flynn's most underrated movies. The location of this western is...

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 107) 03-22-25: "The Big Trail: Academy Aspect Ratio Version" (1930) (Blu-ray) 3/5 Stars Before retiring last night, I decided to watch the shorter version of "The Big Trail" which I haven't seen in over a decade because other posters comments in this...

Thank you, I’m watching “Stagecoach” right now because I want to directly compare Wayne’s performance in the 1939 film to his previous performance in that 1930 movie.

Between last night and this morning, I watched both versions of “The Big Trail” on Blu-ray. Should I count it twice in my running tally?

See my Summary with Movies/TV Shows Grades: 105) 03-22-25: "Two Rode Together" (1961) (Blu-ray) 3/5 Stars Some weeks ago, a few HTF posters made some negative comments about this 1961 John Ford directed western. I then decided to add it as one of the westerns I will watch during this Western...
