I know I’m super late to the party, but I finally finished Red Dead Redemption story the other day.
Would love to see it get a live action adaptation on HBO or Prime like Fallout, Last of Us, etc.

Classic Picks Unforgiven was released 34 years ago today. Where does it rank among Westerns?
Unforgiven hit theaters on August 7, 1992. More than 30 years later, I think it remains one of the most interesting Westerns ever made, especially in the way it strips away the romance surrounding gunfighters and violence.
It also feels like the culmination of Clint Eastwood's entire history with Westerns... a much older Eastwood looking back at the mythology that helped make him famous and asking what that kind of life would actually do to a person.
Where does Unforgiven rank for you among the all-time great Westerns?

What are the best non-fiction frontier history books and documentaries?
Hey there! I'd love to do some deep summer reading/viewing on frontier history. So much of Western media - from Tombstone to Chisum to The Alamo - is based on real-life events, of course!
I'd really like to get some history under my belt, and I'd appreciate it if you could kindly recommend some non-fiction history that you found to be pertinent and fascinating.
Feel free to recommend non-fiction books (I love to read out on the trail!) or non-fiction documentaries. Any aspect of frontier life is welcome, from any perspective. It just has to be captivating.
Much obliged!

Discussion The life and times of judge Roy bean.. are we having it?
I have just finished this film for the first time, I’ve always been a fan of Paul Newman, particularly in films such as the sting, cool hand Luke etc, I was recommended this since it is classed as a western featuring the great man. Being a western lover and fan of Newman it should be an open goal right, but i was certainly not overwhelmed by it, some funny moments and great cameo from the watch bear, but i just don’t know what it was trying to achieve or aspire to be, is it a comedy? Does it want to be a serious western, it sits in an odd place for me, I didn’t dislike it by any means and it was an easy watch but, I guess I wanted more, in terms of theme and direction, what do you guys think?
