A Modern Western?!

I rented a movie called The Texas Rangers over the weekend...it's got a guy from Dawson's Creek.....Van Der something....in it.
Also it's got Robert Patrick (Dogget from the X-files)
I think the movie was just alright, but the idea of a western being made in modern times is kinda odd to me....I thought that was a thing of the past 😕

Yeah most western suck in these times.The lastest good one was The Quick And The Dead.With Gene Hackman and Sharron Stone,

I haven't see that one.....it was kinda weird recognizing some of the faces...kinda blows the whole character believeability out the window

It's good it even has Russel Crow in it.

Yound Guns is the best wester made in the 90th..

The best western is offcurce The Good Bad And The Ugly!

The best modern western I like would be Young Guns 2. It featured an all-star cast including Emillio Estevez(Billy the Kid) Lou Diamond Philips(Chavez) Kiefer Sutherland(Doc Scurlock) and Christian Slater(Arkansas Dave Rudabough), and was the story of Billy the Kid and the remaining members of the Lincoln County Regulators(from the first film) trying to get to Old Mexico and start new lives after the Lincoln County Range War. Unfortunately a man by the name of Patrick Floyd Garrett( a former friend of Billy & co.) has been hired to track down the Kid and bring him back for hanging. A classic about pals and loyalties versus duty and perception.

well, number one is the best!!

I like them both. They're cool little movies. Estevez made a fine Billy the Kid,don't you think?

if you want a good western then watch Shane, modern stuff Youn Guns and TOmbstone even though the portray real persons and incidents. Dancing with wolves was cool too

Tombstone...was a over paid movie...but ok il guess!

Wyat Earp was what you mentioned Thomas, Tombstone rocked, at least Val Kilmer

I liked Tombstone a lot.

never saw it....but then again I hardly ever watch westerns

Westerns-classic and new- are cool, if you see the right film. I prefer the old westerns with John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.I really enjoyed The Good,The Bad and The Ugly.And all of the Duke's films are great.

What are some of their titles????...perhaps I'll find them in the rental place on day.

I dont like the westerns featuring John Wayne

why`? In other words, you dont like one of the biggest westerns ever, Rio Bravo!?

no all of John Waynes movie gets so simmilare in the way they are portraited

well, Rio Bravo is after the experts the third best western ever!

Here are some other great westerns to check out , Julie!:

-The Cowboys- a great John Wayne flick!! not his typical kind!

-A series of movies with Terrance Hill called "Trinity" and "My Name is Nobody" and "My name is still Nobody"

-Shane

-High Plains Drifter- Eastwood at his best!

- Outlaw Josey Whales- another great Clint pick!

-Jerimiah Johnson- great Robert Redford movie

- The Deserter- hard to find , but really great! Has many old stars in it like Chuck Conners, Richard Crenna, Woody Strode, Patrick Wayne(John's son),Richardo Montobond

_ and of course "Tombstone" - Val is awesome in it!! Doc rules.... "you're a daisy if you do"
