I like the older western movies. the newer ones just don't do it for me. Those of the 1930s and 1940s were the best ones.

Jenny The Great ⭐ Western films from the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's are still considered classics. (That's the whole point of the question) - "Do you watch old westerners on TV ?" If you mean newer ones, I thought you were referring to modern Western, at least from the 1980's to the present day.

3/11/2025, yes, I am actually watching classic Western films from my DVD and Blu-ray collection this week. Yesterday on Monday I watched The Searchers (1956) starring John Wayne. Today I am watching The Wild Bunch (1969). In the days to come, Oklahoma! (1955) on Thursday, 3:10 to Yuma (1957) on Friday, The Undefeated (1969) and North to Alaska (1960) on Saturday, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) on Sunday. As for classic Western series, I'm not watching any series this week. But I do have a few complete DVD sets from The Rifleman, which is my favorite. (I saw Chuck Connors grave in person a couple of years ago). I also like Bonanza and The Lone Ranger.

Those are all good movies and I have enjoyed watching them many times, but they are among the more modern western movies. Marion Morrison as well as Lenord Slye played in a number of westerns before they became popular. You have to go prior to 1950 for the really good westerns. -

Hold your horses there, cause you don't know what I have in all in my classic Western film collection. LOL I also have John Wayne Westerns from the 1930's, 1940's and other classic Westerns from the 1940's, including Boom Town (1940), Along Came Jones (1945), Roll on Texas Moon (1946) and more. I mentioned the Western films above in my answer because it's been a while since I have not watched them, and some I have not even watched. I also made it clear, "this week" meaning, there will be many more weeks were I will have a different Western film lineup. Comprende? -

That is a good list of some of the old and good western movies. Did John Wayne or Marion Morrison play in some of those old movies you mentioned? -

According to Google, Marion Morrison adopted the iconic name of John Wayne in his first starring role in The Big Trail (1930).
