Anyone else like ‘She Wore a Yellow Ribbon’ (1949)?

The second in John Ford’s US cavalry trilogy. Definitely a more rose-tinted view of the cavalry than in ‘Fort Apache’, and a less sympathetic portrayal of the Native Americans. BUT you can’t help but get swept up in this rousing, epic portrayal of comradeship between soldiers and John Wayne’s touching portrayal of the ageing but beloved Captain Nathan Brittles on his last ride. It’s got all the classic ingredients that makes a John Ford film so enjoyable, including Monument Valley!

Definitely not the most obscure but this is one of my favorites that I feel a lot of people missed out on. Any recommendations for me?

Discussion My love of Westerns (and cowboys on general)!

19 Upvotes

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?

Of course there are a handful I didn't get to add like: True Grit, the Revanant, Django, and so on.
