Well because you posted it, and I was under the impression that you may have thought it was a good movie.

I just didn't want to upset your sensibilities by completely disagreeing with you on the quality of The Quick and The Dead.

I can not over emphasize how bad that movie is.

All movie watchers should avoid what is quite possibly THE WORST western ever made.

Seriously, it's bad.
Don't mind Sukov, he thinks that Moonraker is the best 007 movie.  :rolleyes:

I would even throw the series Firefly into this mix.

The Lonesome Dove original miniseries with Duvall and Jones is superb, though not as action oriented as many westerns.  Ignore anything with the Lonesome Dove name on it beyond that though.

Wiley.

Actually there are several in that series based on the Larry McMurtry books. Dead Mans Walk, Streets of Laredo and Commanche Moon are all worthwhile, but yeah, the "Return to Lonesome Dove" etc are just cheap ripoffs.

You're close, it's Louis L'Amour, I've read a few of his books, not that particular series though.

What about: 'A Man Called Horse' and 'Chato's Land', or are they more Indian than Cowboy?  :old:

My Grandma has every book that Louis L'Amour wrote.

To me they all read the same.

His autobiography, on the other hand, is a work of true western art.

A masterwork of writing with concerns to the single man living hard times.

Louis L'Amour Education Of A Wandering Man

A must read.

EDIT: In order to understand Louis L'Amour you must read this book.

Lot of movies based on his stories.
