Re: Great Westerns

Well , there don't seem to be many true-to-life westerns
I guess my favourite 'fun' films are Young Guns I & II
Favourite 'serious' films are The Unforgiven - great performances by Richard 'English Bob' Harris and Gene 'Little Bill' Hackman , and Tombstone

And of course , don't forget the fantastic swearathon that is Deadwood - seems realistic , but did they really cuss that much?

My overall favourite has to be Little Big Man , part comedy , part biopic of General Custer and the Cheyenne nation , but a film that is greater than the sum of it's parts.19th century America as viewed through the eyes of a bewildered Hoffman , one could almost say it is a social commentary on this period , in the same way that Forrest Gump was
