Rio Grande is fine, but it didn't get under my skin the way the others did. Liberty Valance is a great film, but it's largely studio-bound and you don't get the landscapes. I might have listed Cheyenne Autumn, which is one of the most beautiful movies ever made, only the script is weak.
The Magnificent Seven is OK but I always think of it as a copy. And the original is better. Hondo I have to confess I haven't seen.
I do like train songs. City of New Orleans- that's a favourite of mine. But I think I know more about bad men than I know about trains. In my inner western landscape the train is whistling sorrowfully in the distance while in the foreground two guys amble slowly towards one another down a dusty street.....
