The Road Warrior with Mel Gibson, that auto & burglar double he carried played a major role throughout the entire movie!

Oh Jim!! For goodness sakes!! Open Range your favorite western movie? You must have forgotten about, "The Big Country". Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives, Jean Simmons, Carol Baker, Chuck Conners, Charles Bickford. You forgot about that one didn't you? (Just teasing)  But, that one is not only my favorite western, it is my favorite movie of all time. I always was a Gregory Peck fan. Open Range was a great movie. Annette Benning made that movie for me. She is one of my favorites. But the one bad thing about that movie is when Kevin Costner fans his six shooter about ten times. When I saw that I thought, "Oh Kevin! Details, dude!" And Jim, what about "GIANT"? Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Chilly Wills and a very young Dennis Hopper? Hmmmm?? Did you forget that one, too? Oh well, I guess all you guys can tell what an old fart I am. Best wishes.

Open Range is a great western in my book also.
The one movie I forgot to add to my list, was
The Ghost and The Darkness with Michael Douglas, Val Kilmer.
In my youth I spent some time at the Field Museum in Chicago,and saw the Lions that were depicted in this epic movie.

The "Shooting Party"Set in an English Country house in 1913 centres on the house party/shooting etiquette promoted by King Edward VII.Here we see James Mason,John Gielgud @ Edward Fox , as members of the privileged elite, engaged in driven shooting and the sometimes adulterous,after shooting party events. We see James Mason shooting driven pheasants using a pair of, Thumb hole, Purdey, Hammer guns.Unfortunately some of the other paricipants in the shooting seqences used guns from a later period. The scenes showing driven shooting illustrates the competive spirit that,in this era, existed between participants[ie;to kill the most birds!].A movie well worth watching.V.H.S. Copies were issued under licence by JEF Films International, S.A. in 1997.

"Rio Bravo". Duke has a Colt hammergun. Bartender also has one. Walter Brennan has a sawed-off upon which he is in the process of performing a "buttectomy". I hadn't thought about "Ride the High Country in a long time. Don't recall doublegun; doublecross maybe. Best Western: "Ballad of Cable Hogue". Stella Stevens! Who needs guns?

I just watched a classic 40's WWII movie where the main character was blinded at Guadalcanal, and upon returning home, he was given a new shotgun as a Christmas gift. It looked to be a beautiful shiny new Lefever nitro with great case colors. Not a fancy gun by any means, but it was spiffy. I told my wife, "ooh look, a nice Lefever nitro!" and she said "you know that?"
You know you're getting to be a gun nerd when you're more excited about a gun than you are about the movie.
