This was brought up on another thread so I thought I would start one just for this subject:

There are many. Most of then are older than 30 years but one fairly recent was Open Range. It's a man's romance if you will allow me to say that. I have watched it several times. The cinematography is excellent , the stage set was meh IMHO but the dialog was outstanding. Listen to some of the cowboy wisdom--applies today as well.

Another is of course the Lonesome Dove series.

Other than that I am going further back in time.

I would have never made it in those days but come to think about it, most didn't live long. 50 yo was ancient. Seems a boy was a man by 16 yo. Had to be since middle age was like 30 yo.

Another was Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood ( I think that was the title)

What is your top 1 or 2 movie?
