What movie would you like to see made?

[Shooting Bull]

A western themed love story starring Raquel Welch, Bo Derek and me in a love triangle.

[Buckskin James]

In my own 'umble opinion, the best Western writer remains Elmore Leonard

 

+1 on that!

 

Would love to see someone do a credible treatment of the life, times, and trial of Oliver Milton Lee.

[Prof. Fuller Bullspit]

Legends by Tom "Forty Rod" Taylor would make a marvelous movie.

 

 

It would indeed!

Actually, it's pretty amazing how many Elmore Leonard books or stories have been made into movies.

Westerns alone, I can think of the following:

 

1. Joe Kidd

2. 3:10 To Yuma (Glenn Ford, Van Johnson)

3. The Tall T (Budd Boettcher/Randolph Scott, based on The Captives)

4. Last Stand at Saber River

5. Hombre

6. Valdez is Coming

7. 3:10 To Yuma (Russell Crowe)

 

It also turns out with a search that there are two more: Border Shootout (based on The Law at Randado), 1990, that has Glenn Ford plus a cast of unknowns. I'd never heard of it. Anybody seen it?

 

Then there's The Tonto Woman, a 2008 short (35 minutes) that I've also never heard of before.

[Yellowhouse Sam # 25171]

+ 1 on a movie about the life of Billy Dixon but I think it would almost take a miniseries to do it well.

 

A factual movie of Frank Hamer

 

Finally, a movie based on J. Lee Butts book "Hell In the Nations"

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

Either Snow White or Bambi.

[Marshal Chance Morgun]

A western themed love story starring Raquel Welch, Bo Derek and me in a love triangle.

 

Jeopardy answer: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, Question: What is Bo Derek going older?

[Curley Fryes]

Movie about Curley Bill Brocius. (of course)

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

Roger's Rangers would be a good choice.
