Howdy Pardner, let's talk Westerns.

Movie Maven Librarian Donna Keslin continues to develop movie resources on the ALD website.

I had previously posted information regarding the American Film Noir resources, but Donna has continued by adding "Gangsters: American Film Icons" and more recently "The Western: An American Myth" to the "Classic Film Series" link on the "Movies & Music" page of the website.
To quickly reach the page, click here

Donna's essays give a great overview of the genre with some classic film examples, so spend a few minutes taking a look so the next time you get that request for a good western (or gangster film), you'll have a couple of suggestions to make.

Oh, and if you have a favorite western movie or book, or had a favorite western you used to watch as a kid, this is a great place to share.

Just click on the "comments" link below and give us your opinion, pardner!

What? No one watched westerns?? Not even Roy Rogers on Sunday night @ 5:00? "Hondo", from the book "The Gift of Cochise" by Louis L'Amour, is a really good one with the Duke. Or, for grins, the "Spaghetti" westerns with Clint Eastwood. Or any western with him or the Duke in them!!!
