9. A Man Called Horse: Richard Harris - great movie

I also loved Richard Harris in another great western, Man In The Wilderness. That was about a member of an expedition who gets mauled by a bear and is left for dead.

10. I've been a Richard Harris Fan since he played lancelot in Camelot...

And yes, there were a few years there where the early west was explored nicely by film. Man in the Wilderness was great.


I keep saying I'm going to write a screenplay of the The Narrative of the Captivity and the Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson called the 23rd Remove. http://www.library.csi.cuny.edu/dept/history/lavender/rownarr.html which would make a heroic story.

11. What about High Plains Drifter?

12. Outlaw Josey Wales, Jeremiah Johnson.

13. Musical: Paint Your Wagon w/ Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood

'cause they've got such great voices!
