Find yourself daydreaming about cowboys and pioneers settling out on the open frontier way back in the day? Western movies transport fans back to the wild west when the fastest way to get around was by horse and farming was the only means of survival for countless Americans. This genre is packed with action as the good guys take down bandits and outlaws. On the flip side, you’ll also find a vast array of films with heroes and heroines on the wrong side of the law fighting for justice when the law’s failed them.
From Will Smith’s “Wild Wild West” days to the classic John Wayne films, stories of vigilantes and shootouts have been a staple of American society since the earliest days of moving pictures. Who hasn’t relished in the excitement of hearing tales of the narrow escapes and brushes with near-death of Jesse James and Billy the Kid? This genre is jam-packed with the greatest gun-slinging and yellowist lily-livered cowboys and cowgirls known to the marvelous world of film.
