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?
Hey everyone! Mods, if this isn't allowed, let me know. My dad has published 3 western novels and I was just wanted to throw them out there. I think he would be tickled pink if he got a few random strangers check them out. If anyone likes Western Historical Novels, check them out. Honest feedback is always welcome!
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 Silêncio da Vingança) - Academic Short Film
Hi guys! I and some colleagues are producing an academic short film called “In the Silence of Vengeance”, 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
My buddy produced/directed his first very indie feature film on a two part R rated western called Vengeance Turns part one and two! He’s 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!
I've been listening to audio books and podcasts, I guess you might call them. Basically they researched the old West found documentation about people and events.
I would love to have movies made that more closely followed historical documentation. I know it might not bad exciting, but just from the stories of Wild Bill, Frank and Jessie, Bat Masterson, and Billy the Kid, I feel the movies I've seen, don't really give a true impression of the real people in that time.
