Yup.  I liked Open Range as well.  The best part of that, every time someone gave Kevin Costner an ultimatum he just shot them.

Yep.

And "Pale Rider" as well.




What was the name of that great John Wayne film where he is trying to track his daughter who was taken by the Indians?  He had his sons with him.

"The Searchers"

I had some of the facts wrong, but this is a great movie

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Searchers_(film)

The Searchers is a 1956 American Technicolor VistaVision Western film directed by John Ford, based on the 1954 novel by Alan Le May, set during the Texas–Indian Wars, and starring John Wayne as a middle-aged Civil War veteran who spends years looking for his abducted niece (Natalie Wood), accompanied by his adoptive nephew (Jeffrey Hunter). Critic Roger Ebert found Wayne's character, Ethan Edwards, "one of the most compelling characters Ford and Wayne ever created".[2]


The film was a commercial success, although it received no Academy Award nominations. Since its release, it has come to be considered a masterpiece, and one of the greatest and most influential films ever made. It was named the greatest American western by theAmerican Film Institute in 2008, and it placed 12th on the same organization's 2007 list of the 100 greatest American movies of all time.[3] Entertainment Weekly also named it the best western.[4] The British Film Institute's Sight & Sound magazine ranked it as the seventh best film of all time based on a 2012 international survey of film critics[5][6] and in 2008, the French magazine Cahiers du cinéma ranked The Searchers number 10 in their list of the top 100 best films ever made.[7]


In 1989, The Searchers was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry; it was in the first cohort of films selected for the registry.

Don't forget "A Few Dollars More" is a revenge movie since Lee Van Cleef's character is out for revenge for the rape and murder(suicide) of his sister against "El Indio" who was one crazy S.O.B.
