A few Old School Classics:

"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" Great all-star cast full of familiar faces of the western genre back in the early 60's.


"Shane" One of Alan Ladd's best----early Jack Palance role.

"Rio Bravo" John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson

"Hombre" came out in 67, same year as "Cool Hand Luke" and stars Paul Newman, Richard Boone, Fredrick Marsh and Diane Cilento in a very underrated western.

"The Shootist" John Wayne's last film before cancer took him out. Stars Wayne, Ron Howard, Scatman Cruthers, Harry Morgan, Jimmy Stewart and Lauren Bacall.

Just watched Butcher’s Crossing on Prime. Not worth the price to rent or buy right now but worth it when it drops in price to rent. Decent enough. Some awesome scenery.
