Are Westerns Back in the Saddle?

From the Feb. 17, 2011, USA Today "Back in the Saddle" by Marco R.della Cava.

With the recent releases of three western-themed movies, is it possible that this long-time standard is on its way back. "True Grit" was first, followed by two westerns that pushed the limits, "Rango" and "Cowboys & Aliens."

See, you don't need modern weapons to fight those mean old westerns.

It's a good guys versus the bad guys thing.

Here Are AFI's Top five Westerns.

1. THE SEARCHERS (1956)

2. HIGH NOON (1952)

3. SHANE (1953)

4. UNFORGIVEN (1992)

5. RED RIVER (1948)

OK, Pilgrim. --DaCoot
