"Westerns That Were Wonderfully Weird" Topic

"Westerns aren't exactly realistic regarding American history, but they are emblematic of American values. Many Western movies emphasize rugged individualism in a lawless environment and good triumphing over evil.

I thoroughly recommend Bone Tomahawk for anyone who has not seen it

"The White Buffalo" was pretty bloody weird all by itself.

A Dino de Laurentiis production from the late 70's/early 80's, it's just… weird.

Bone Tomahawk was the creepiest movie I've seen in any genre since Quest For Fire.

I'm more of a Valley of Gwangi guy, although I loved The White Buffalo.

There must be something to it as I was a member of the Wapsu Sisilija Lodge in the Order of the Arrow. I was told it meant White Buffalo, but then I was a 13 year old Boy Scout at the time.

Thanks also…
