Dare I post their list of The 30 Best Westerns?
It was interesting--who knew there was a show called Way Out that went further than Twilight Zone/Outer Limits/etc? Thanks, evstar.

I agree with most of the 30 Best Westerns [although they missed the one in Manitou Springs, Colorado with the really nice pool].
Oddly, none of the films of Larry McMurtry's work appear to be in the top 30. C'mon, Hud??? "Horseman Pass By" was a great book.
He's pissed off a lot of the fans of the genre by writing "Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen" and other books that make clear that Western should be retitled "Cowboy Fantasy".

For a more emotionally resonant look at blacksploitation films, there's a nice interview with Jack Hill, the director of Coffy and Foxy Brown (among others) on Badmouth.net.
