I’ll name two well known ones: Rio Bravo & The Sons of Katie Elder. Both are sitting on my shelves, but I won’t waste time on either again.

Both considered classics now - especially Rio Bravo directed by the great Howard Hawks. You should really check out some good film criticism. It’s fine that you don’t like them - but they are considered wonderful movies by audiences and film critics alike. (Doesn’t ANYONE on this thread own - at least - a Leonard Maltin guide for God’s sake?!) Katie Elder was directed by Henry Hathaway who went on to direct True Grit.

On another subject, do you wear a sweater? I’m worried your favorite western is Brokeback Mountain!
