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 confused

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.

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.

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"
