Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Kind of a morbid question... But you know the end is near. You have just enough time to watch one last Western before you shuffle off this mortal coil. What do you watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Ohhh.... Tough question. My knee jerk reaction was Tombstone, but that was immediately followed by the original Magnificent Seven. Heck, Maybe I'll croak as Yul Brynner says "Only the farmers won." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I think if I had two hours left, watching a western wouldn’t be a thing. Probably just listening to great music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 If I want to watch for my entertainment, either "Tombstone" or "Outlaw Josey Wales". However, since I'm dying, I might choose to make it seem like a long time as possible, so Costner's "Wyatt Earp". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostrum Damus SASS #110702 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 If I had to watch one more Western before departing for good, and wasn't permitted to do anything else (which is what I think the OP was asking), it might be something more personally meaningful, like Unforgiven.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Walt Disney presents Louis L'Amour's Cherokee Trail. Little known, very under-rated. Second choice would be The Daughters of Joshua Cabe.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) I think a better question, without the impending death factor, would simply be ”What is the best western you ever saw in your life”Now one last sip of coffee, one last draw on this fine cigar and I’m off to whack weeds. The wind has stopped….for now! Edited May 12 by Utah Bob #35998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
