A great number of great shows have fricked it all up with the last season, and some have really pulled it off. The last season of GoT would be it’s death. Maybe the best single season.

Or the best show with the worst ending - I nominate House of Cards and Alf.

I'd put the good the bad and the ugly over tombstone.

Movie changed a lot of the game. Iconic in every way, from music, characters, one liners, cinematography etc

And on the other hand..I wish Kurt Russell was doing more westerns in his older age. Wish more were being made nowadays. I've always liked him as an actor and felt he is underrated in a lot of ways.

Its probably my favorite genre and I hate that it has died down. They are expensive and arent usually big box office makers but you would think you could get one good one a year but its just not the case anymore. The past decade has been a pretty disappointing run for westerns.

The 2000s didnt have the volume of previous decades but they had some really quality westerns. The Assassination of Jessie James By the Coward Robert Ford (and I truly believe that the ridiculous name of this movie hurt it at the box office), The Proposition, Appaloosa, Open Range, 3:10 to Yuma. You could stretch a few others and call them westerns if you wanted like No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood.

THB I'd put Breaking Bad as a modern day western. It has a lot of the elements and people generally love that format.

Westerns give us great format for Revenge, betrayal, a man against odds, with our american country (usually west, southwest and south) and being the backdrop.

I think in the future there will be a revival..its open wide with possibility, think of all the brutal stories that really happened..that no one today knows of, stories that are just..Buried under dust & time.

I like my westerns calculatedly violent and unapologetic. I may be a minority in this, but I dont think the hateful 8 was a great western. Felt like Reservoir Dogs but with furs.
