Top Five Six. no order
High Noon 3.10 to Yuma (original) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly The Magnificent Seven Bad Day at Black Rock (just about qualifies)
oh, and Blazing Saddles!
Cowbugs 'n' Injuns was the other film staple of '60s TV. Seem to have gone out of fashion now. These six spring immediately to mind for me. What about you?
Next week Musicals! That will sort the men from the er... other men.
In fact I'll start now. Calamity Jane!

Don't tell anyone, but I quite like The King And I.
As for westerns,
Unforgiven A Fist Full Of Dollars etc Actually, anything with Clint Eastwood Support Your Local Sheriff Westworld (sort of qualifies)

You used to always get Westerns on the tele during the day, always seemed to have John Wayne in 'em. Dunna seem to happen anymore. Anyroad I conna remember what they were all called, but they were all very watchable.
A more modern one (I say modern, it's still 20-odd years old) would be Dances With Wolves.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Great film, great actors and some classic Burt Bacharach music.

I liked Firecreek, a lesser known Western with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda.

Can't beat a Western. Been some interesting takes on the Cowboy/Indian template:
'Blackthorn', the updated tale of Butch Cassidy's later years in Bolivia is a great film.
Hopefully someone will remember the title, a film I've only seen once but it left an enduring impression.. but can't recall it's name: A vampire film set during the American Civil War. Anyone seen it/know what it's called?

3:10 to Yuma, such a simple idea but beautifully executed, how the tension rises

Anyone seen it/know what it's called? Struggling with the vampire film. There is Dead Birds. Half a dozen Confeds in a haunted house. Can't remember if it had vampires. Then there is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Killer. Wild guess there are some in that!

It starts with a huge pile of Civil War battle dead bodies. A trickle of blood drips down into the mouth of a fella who's still alive at the bottom of the pile, and the vampire thing commences... Hazy memories of the detail, but the tension and overall gloomy feel of the thing left an impression... Can't even recall the actors, but it wasn't a subtitled film or owt. It was a fairly big general release thing. I think I saw it on Film4. Or I could have made it up.

I wonder if It isn't part of a Twilight Zone or other portmanteau type thingy?

Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman instrumental soundtrack too, with the fella out of neighbours, Guy Pierce. Cannibals not vampires... The power of a search... 'Civil War based Horror films.'
