“A man’s got to have a code, a creed to live by.” – John Wayne
I’ve started to place the first of My Favorite Westerns:’ Gunfight at OK Corral’ made in 1957 and starring Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp and Kirk Douglas as Doc Holliday. It will take me a few days to complete this page and I will be adding things consistently.
Gunfight at the OK Corral is not my number one Favorite Western. I don’t have a number one Favorite – I have about 20 favorites that I lump all together – in one vacuous mass of Western Joy.
I love ’em all.
I toss in a few personal insights along with factual information and trivia on the separate pages. Hopefully this will spur interest and enjoyment for readers. But it will be enough if I am just able to re-kindle your enjoyment and appreciation of these wonderful movies.
Yeee Hah … !
A non-traditional Western and an altogether remarkable film is Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man. (I’d call it an acid-Western really). It’s a must, William Blake, lawlessness, desolate land and dreamscapes.
