1.The Rounders starring: Glenn Ford, Henry Fonda, Sue Ane Langdon, Hope Holiday, Chill Wills directed by: Burt Kennedy April 25, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.69
This amiable modern Western benefits enormously from the casting of the great genre veterans Henry Fonda and Glenn Ford as two veteran cowboys ,forever on the verge of abandoning their nomadic lifestyle and settling down ,but never quite making it.The movie revolves around their attempts to tame an especially recalitrant bronco named Ol Fooler-who it is suggested is a little like the two men in being stubborn ,hard to tame and determined to go his own way but likeable and who eventually will be coerced back into the mainstream There is not a tightly constructed plot as such ,more a series of incidents heavy on the humour which -be aware ,is often slightly risque (there is a shot of bare bottoms for example which may bother the more prudish ). Ford and Fonda are wonderful ... Read More

2.Young Billy Young starring: Robert Mitchum, Angie Dickinson, Robert Walker Jr., David Carradine, Jack Kelly directed by: Burt Kennedy September 01, 1998

3.Dirty Dingus Magee (1970) starring: Frank Sinatra, George Kennedy, Anne Jackson, Lois Nettleton, Jack Elam directed by: Burt Kennedy September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $36.95
This movie was made as a comedic sexual comedy at a time when such things were really pretty tame by todays standards. The script is mediocre but the cast is great. The is a wild western that is safe for most audiences, but not quite family friendly due to the sexual inuendo. It Sells for a pretty price even used due to rarity.

4.The Alamo - Thirteen Days To Glory starring: James Arness, Brian Keith, Alec Baldwin, David Ogden Stiers, Jim Metzler directed by: Burt Kennedy October 07, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.65
Yes, this has faults, many glaring. But it was created for the Texas Sesquicentennial celebration and was aired during the time of year of the battle (if I remember correctly). It was made to be entertaining and appeal to the young people (Alex Baldwin; the young lovers-the girl was played by a former Miss Texas, I think; the marvelous Raul Julia, who practically stole the show), who have to study Texas history twice before they graduate there. As a fifth-generation native Texan (currently exiled in Georgia) I love the Alamo story and its various conflicting legends, understanding that because of the veil of history and the way that Santa Ana tried to obliterate the battle site we may never know the entire truth of the matter. What we can know are certain specifics. The actors portraying Bowie and Crockett ... Read More

5.Support Your Local Sheriff starring: James Garner, Joan Hackett, Walter Brennan, Harry Morgan, Jack Elam directed by: Burt Kennedy October 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.94
This is one excellent classic film starring James Garner. this is one funny and outrageous western for whole family to enjoy. i thought i was going to bust a gut i was laughing so hard at the anticks of bruce dern's stupid but loveable outlaw character and the way jim handles him and the others in the town. quite funny. Highly Recommended.

6.The War Wagon starring: John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Howard Keel, Robert Walker Jr., Keenan Wynn directed by: Burt Kennedy May 06, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.19
The War Wagon was a hit when it was first released and is still a great film today. John Wayne and Kirk Douglas have just enough tension to really wonder if they will end up shooting each other or doing the hold up. Excellent addition to any family home film library.

7.Support Your Local Gunfighter starring: James Garner, Suzanne Pleshette, Jack Elam, Harry Morgan, Joan Blondell directed by: Burt Kennedy May 02, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.85
Though the titles are similar, as is some of the cast, this isn't a sequel to Support Your Local Sheriff. In some ways it's the complete opposite of Support Your Local Sheriff. In Sheriff Garner was good with a gun, in this one he isn't. In this movie he's Latigo Smith, much more akin to Maverick than his character in Sheriff, i.e., he's slower with a gun & somewhat of a coward. Latigo arrives in Purgatory (a town name that would've been perfect in an episode of Maverick) on the run from a woman he's jilted & conned. He, literally, wants to get something off his chest...a tattoo with the name Goldie, the woman he's running from. Latigo happens to overhear Taylor Barton (Harry Morgan), a local mining baron, talking about putting a competitor out of business, Col. Ames (John Dehner who had appeared ... Read More

8.Hannie Caulder starring: Raquel Welch, Robert Culp, Ernest Borgnine, Christopher Lee, Jack Elam directed by: Burt Kennedy May 06, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.77
The brothers (played by Strother Martin, Ernest Borgnine, Jack Elam)as mentioned in other reviews, are "slap stick" at times. Welch's make-up was too heavy for the time period, and her dress un-buttoned down her navel while she is cooking, was a bit much. With all that it is still a very good movie and Robert Culp's best acting. He could teach me to shoot a gun anytime! One of the better Welch movies, I have this on VHS and have watched it over and over!

9.All the Kind Strangers starring: Stacy Keach, Samantha Eggar, John Savage, Robby Benson, Arlene Farber directed by: Burt Kennedy October 29, 1987
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
This was a true suspense film at its best. A creepy story about a group of farm kids who will do anything to get a set of parents at all costs! It makes you think about not picking up hitchhikers, even if they are six years old! Excellent purchase!

10.Train Robbers starring: John Wayne, Ann-Margret, Rod Taylor, Ben Johnson, Christopher George directed by: Burt Kennedy May 19, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.24
still watchable. The cast is well known, with Ann-Margret, Rod Taylor and many other familiar faces in this genre surrounding John Wayne. The story is a simple one, just with a twist at the end of the movie. The DVD is nicely produced, but lacks a booklet, or other special stuff that could at least clarify somewhat, how the movie was made and perhaps include some cut-out scenes. Just for the die-hard Duke fan. If you're not, don't waste your money. There are better ones out there of the same time period. See Big Jake, Cahill, or the real runner, The Cowboys.
