    I have about 180 Westerns on BR and DVD plus Deadwood and Justified as BR box sets.
    The only genre I like more than Westerns is Film Noir.

    A whole big bunch. Somewhere between a hundred and a thousand.

  4. I just picked up the Criterion Blu-Ray of The Shooting/Ride In The Whirlwind. These are two fairly low-budget movies by director Monte Hellman that were filmed in 1965. Jack Nicholson co-produced them, and has supporting roles in both. They are both under 90 minutes long. I've watched The Shooting so far, and thought it was quite good. The starring actor is Warren Oates, always an asset to a western. Will Hutchins, who starred in the TV western Sugarfoot also has a prominent role.

    An interesting aside, both these films were filmed in the Glen Canyon region of the Utah desert the year before Glen Canyon was flooded to create the artificial Lake Powell. All the beautiful high desert scenery in these two films is now underwater.

    For anybody interested, the Blu-Ray can be purchased for half price from Barnes & Noble through Aug. 2nd.

    Over a hundred of blu-rays. That includes Spaghetties and a very nice 12-disc Gojko Mitić collection of Easterns.

    "Tom Horn"-Steve McQueen as Horn.
    "Open Range" with Kevin Costner & Robert Duvall
    "War Wagon"-John Wayne/Kirk Douglas
    "Firecreek"- James Stewart & Henry Fonda as the bad guy.
    "The Cheyenne Social Club"- James Stewart & Henry Fonda.

    Thought I had more. Looks like I'm going to be buying more Westerns on disc.

    Does anyone know if the episodes of this TV series as released on DVD are the original, uncut versions?

    I've read "The Rebel" TV series was put out by Timeless Media Group, and I know that two other Western series they released ("The Guns of Will Sonnet" and "Branded") used the syndicated/edited versions, but one other Western series they released ("Laredo") seems to have used the complete episodes. So, I'm looking for info on "The Rebel" if anybody can help.

    Major Dundeee and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid

    And Larry Crowne, which is sort of western when you think about it. Scooters being a metaphor for horses.

    I noticed where you wanted to start up a convo with me, but I had not responded thereto, owing to my not having touched my copy of The Rebel in quite a while-- I'll have to start watching it again to see if there are; that is a great question. It is also quite difficult for me to give a straight answer, because I was not exposed too much to The Rebel in syndie or on the classic channels.

    Absolutely. But IMO it would depend on where the CW event occurred. Conflict occurred in western states as well; New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas....

    My barometer to tell if a show is "complete" on DVD is this: If it's a series from the 50s/60s (and probably a good portion of the 70s) if the episode clocks in at around 25 minutes give or take, then more likely than not, the episodes are complete :)

    22 or 23 minutes for a show of that era, then you know it was edited.

    17, and I had to squeeze in a couple of modern day set-in-the-west films to get that many. That isn't enough. I can't believe I don't own Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Need to browse this thread and fill some gaps.

    Blazing Saddles
    The Cowboys
    Django Unchained
    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
    The Hateful Eight
    Hell or High Water
    The Long Riders
    No Country For Old Men
    Once Upon a Time in the West
    The Professionals
    Rio Bravo
    The Searchers
    South of Heaven, West of Hell

    I have none which is a shame. I use to have a lot of them but my wife (who dominates the tv) hates them. I sold them since I never get to watch them. Sometimes I will watch one on Prime when she isn’t around.

    Thank you to the OP, who started this thread. All the unwatched Western DVD's are now in a bag (numbering around 30) and I'm getting through them - so far I've watched CACTUS JACK (also known as The Villain), POSSE and TEXAS ACROSS THE RIVER. I'm thinking there'll be a Dean Martin and/or Raquel Welch themed Western night soon.
