DEFINING A WESTERN

What makes a movie into a TRUE WESTERN?

ERA: A TRUE WESTERN must be set in a specific era. Early 1800’s through 1915. Roughly, it must be the time post Civil War and pre WWI.

LOCATION: A TRUE WESTERN must only exist from the Mississippi river west to the Pacific Ocean. It Often may include Mexico and Canada, but generally focuses on the continental, western states of the US. Expressly: Arizona, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming, but encompasses all states west of the Mississippi.

SETTING: A TRUE WESTERN is almost always set in the frontier. Small towns, no towns, deserts and wide open territories. Necessary backdrops are rivers, canyons and exquisite natural scenery and majestic landscapes. Railroads, wagon train trails and coach trails are each a necessary feature.

PLOT: A dramatic, romancical confrontation or conflict between the proverbial good and evil. A decidedly masculine struggle between honor, loyalty, common sense and homespun horse sense which is put up against poorly balanced odds to fight the bad guys. There is always more bad or more bad guys than good, but the good always prevails, even if at a loss. But good always wins in some way at the end.

DIALOG: Anything from no dialog to profound words are existent. If words are used, they are used in a most creative fashion. Lines like “I won’t hit you. No, I won’t hit you, the HELL I won’t!” are an epitomy of the WESTERN charatcer’s attitude. Another great line is “Every man wants his boys to be better than he is… You are”. Or “Fill your hands, you Son of a Bitch!”!

TRANSPORTATION: Horses, trains or stagecoaches with horses are required. Wagons, too (Conestogas).
SELF DEFENCE: Guns. Number 1 is guns. Colt 45 and Winchester rifles. There are many others. Knives and whips can be used and shotguns, too. And of course, ropes for hanging or dragging behind a horse.

SINGING: No singing or dancing is allowed unless it is done by females on stage in a saloon. No man is allowed to sing or dance in a western movie. That is not bad, it only disqualifies the movie as being a true western. There are GREAT movies where the male actors dance and sing. Nothing wrong with it, but they cease to be westerns and must be classified otherwise.

ANIMALS: Cows, gotta have cows or horses or both. Goats are OK, and sheep, too, but not anything like Brokeback Mountain. That is NOT a western by any means. Get your Winchester ready if that movie comes to town! It won’t play on my HTS! No damn way! “Baby sister, that is NO TRADE!”
Well, that about covers it. Add your impressions if you like, but I think I have most of it covered

I sincerely hope you all enjoy my listing of westerns and the mood music here at the end. The older I get, and I am not that old, the more valuable these movies and songs become to me. I enjoy these theme songs and the movies. They make me feel good and they make me recall heroes.

The men who fought in WWII and Korea and Nam and in the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan and other places... They are heroes! Not so much because they performed anything miraculous during their tour of duty, but because they had the courage and the compassion in their heart to serve their country! There are few heroes in the movies today. In fact there are none, but our military service men and women are great heroes and should be honored.

I salute and thank all of you who serve.

There can be no more honest tribute for your service than what this MAN has to say, for you and for OUR country.

Well you gave me a nice list to start over with. I lost one of my external hard drives a few weeks ago and just realized today the Duke's greatest works were on that drive. Time to break out the DVDs and borrow the ones I don't have any longer and re rip them to a new drive. Think I will start with Big Jake or Eldorado.

Eldorado has always been one of my favorite Duke westerns (along with True Grit, Rooster Cogburn, Sons of Katie Elder, Rio Lobo, The Train Robbers and The Undefeated). I love all the Dukes movies, but these are my tops. Also Hatari and Donovan's Reef.

John Wayne the hero is well represented in those movies from the 60's, and war movies like "Sands of Iwo Jima". My favorites are the ones where he acts aginst type, "The Searchers" and "Red River". Intense and convincing as an anti-hero.
 
Didn't see "Lightning Jack" or "4 for Texas". How about "Crossfire Trail" (TV Movie). I guess "Cat Ballou" doesn't qualify. Maybe "Son of Paleface"?
