Should this be buried in the "Media" section? Maybe. But, anyway ...

What are the "must own" Westerns? I'm thinking ...

Once Upon A Time In The West

The Magnificent Seven

Bank Hol Monday

Sorry, I couldn't remember the exact title - it should have been The Outlaw Josie Wales starring Clint Eastwood

I agree with "The Outlaw Josie Wales" a great film!!

Blazing saddles, So funny, just a tad racist though.

Well, I think Blazing Saddles is NOT racist.

It lampoons the prejuduced attitudes of many Americans at that time.

So, it was making a pointedly anti-racist statement.

Of course, to make that statement, it had to use a lot of the language used by those people whom it was mocking ... as in the "The Sherrif is a nig " scene.
