Try the Encore Westerns channel. Lots of classic Western movies going back to the 1940s and up to about the 1990s. ....Much better, IMO, than most of present day movies. John Wayne, Van Cleef, Eastwood, Autry, spaghetti westerns, etc.
Oh, believe me, I know about the Encore Westerns channel. Heck, it was one of the reasons I got the dish in the first place, back in 1996!
I’m always partial to the western genre. In fact, I’m on a pretty big kick of collecting dvd’s of 1920s-era silent westerns right now. Hoot Gibson, Jack Hoxie, Tom Mix, Yakima Canutt, Leo Maloney, Bob Custer, Harry Carey, etc. Incredible americana. I love the stuff. The whole mentality and worldview it represents. Reminds me of my late grandparents’ and their attitudes... a combination of straightforward, no-nonsense reality and conservatism, coupled with an old-world romanticism. The exact opposite of modern American culture in so many ways.
