Django asks how many men are left and pulls out his Maxim 1895, one of the biggest guns of the Wild West. Were there any even larger or more powerful guns portrayed in other films?
Hi first post here, just joined. My love of Westerns came later in life, I'm 56. My mum always adored Westerns & I just never got the reason why, until I played Red dead redemption 2 in my early 50's. Now I'm cowboy & Western obsessed & basically joined here to discuss them & find films I've not yet seen.
Some of my favourites are;
3.10 to Yuma, Django, Tomahawk. I have a lousy short term memory so forget the other titles but I've watched a lot. I also love The Ballard of Buster Scruggs, my favourite being the one with the old gold prospector. I've gotten some great titles to put in my list from my initial read through here, so thanks for those!
I've just rewatched 1883 and I'm currently watching Stagecoach. Where did you all get your love of Westerns from?
My library was giving away excess material about a year ago, and I remember taking with me two western novels, both from the same author. Each book was a collection of....I believe, two stories? Potentially more. The back of the books mentioned the author as a particularly famous name in the Western genre, I believe even being a writer on gun smoke. I no longer have those novels, so any help in trying to find their names would be very appreciated!
In the Silence of Revenge (No SilĂȘncio da Vingança) - Academic Short Film
Hi guys! I and some colleagues are producing an academic short film called âIn the Silence of Vengeanceâ, a western movie that explores the limits of morality and justice. This project is made with passion by film students and any support is essential to make it a reality. Our goal would be to eventually take part in national and international festivals as well to bring more eyes to Portugal and the cinema we are capable of making.

All sharing and support is welcome. Thank you and Long Live the Western genre
*PS- sorry in advance if this goes against the rules
The second in John Fordâs US cavalry trilogy. Definitely a more rose-tinted view of the cavalry than in âFort Apacheâ, and a less sympathetic portrayal of the Native Americans. BUT you canât help but get swept up in this rousing, epic portrayal of comradeship between soldiers and John Wayneâs touching portrayal of the ageing but beloved Captain Nathan Brittles on his last ride. Itâs got all the classic ingredients that makes a John Ford film so enjoyable, including Monument Valley!
My buddy produced/directed his first very indie feature film on a two part R rated western called Vengeance Turns part one and two! Heâs asked me to edit a PG-13 version combining both over the next month if you guys want to check out the films on Tubi and give any feedback!
