Checking his cash reserves, he realized he was down to his last few coins, and decided to head over to Ms. Walkers place to finish the garden there. She was a loving spirit and always gave him money when he would ask. As he stood up, he noticed the patch of blackberries behind the bar were almost covering the roof. Funny, he thought, they hadn’t been that way when he leaked there last night, and as he watched, he could see them gradually engulf the entire roof and grow down the opposite side. A hoarse whisper nex to his shoulder instantly broke his concentration. It was Zelda, his counterpart in female form who was always trying to get him to "do the nasty" at her small cardboard dwelling on the other side of town. She too had seen the blackberries growing at an unbelievable rate, while she was on her way to the landfill on her never ending quest for aluminum cans. They both continued to stare for quite some time until she wrapped her arm around his waist, and he made a hasty retreat for Ms. Walkers place.

Clarence was the local drunk, and had little use for anything but a full bottle of Mad Dog and a quiet place to drink it. When his funds ran low, he would help the local residents with their yard work, and was a darn fine landscaper if he could stay sober long enough to complete the job. But most of the time he would return to his bottle as soon as he got some spare change, and had unfinished projects all over the small community that was supported primarily by the large nuclear plant just up the road. Clarence had spent many cold winter nights sleeping next to the cooling towers that generated more than enough heat to keep him warm. Tonight he would probably head back there, as there was a definite chill in the air, and he could see steam rising from the puddle he had just created. With best intent and a noisy belch, he headed off towards the tall white towers, but became entangled in some wild blackberries and fell face first into a small drainage ditch several hundred yards from his destination. A small trickle of water flowing from the plants’ water system grazed his lips as he slept noisily.

The best are John Ford & John Wayne- Stagecoach, The Searchers and the calvery trilogy- Ft. Apache, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon & Rio Grande. No comparison with the 60's and 70's westerns. Also Red River by Howard Hawks with John Wayne and Walter Brennan and Monty Clift. Bend of the River and The Far Country with Jimmy Stewart. The Big Country, The Gunfighter, and the Bravados with Gregory Peck . Dark Command isn't bad and They Died with Their Boots on with Errol Flynn as Custer is way over the top but great. Will Penny with Charlton Heston is good and for blood and gore( not Al) try the Wildbunch by Sam Peckinpah Rarely a good western after the 50′s.

Understandable, though -- it's a good movie. By the way, if you have the chance, be sure to see Tommy Lee Jones's new Western <i>The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada</i>. It'll be on the classics list someday. You listed McLintock twice, TGC. Understandable, though — it’s a good movie.

How is <i>Brokeback</i> representative of a Western subgenre, and could you name other films of its ilk? Since I don't see stylistic or thematic affinities between <i>Brokeback</i> and the Italian-Spanish "spaghetti westerns," I don't quite understand why you've referred to the film as a <i>fettucine Fra Diavolo</i> western (except for the film's appeal to urban, affluent arthouse crowds -- the people who would prefer fettucine to spaghetti). Was this comment meant seriously, or was it a flippant Maureen Dowd-ish dismissal? 32: Scott, I’m curious.

Either <i><strong> The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! </strong></i> or <i><strong> She Wore a Yellow Ribbon</strong></i>, runners up Ford's another Cavalry Trilogy <i><strong> Fort Apache</strong></i>. Sentimental favorite <i><strong> The Shootist</strong></i> (1976) with John Wayne (his last film) as a dying gunfighter and Jimmy Stuart as the "Doc" that tells him he has cancer. Wayne died of lung cancer in 1979. Hard choice!
