ARGGGGG!!
okay, it was a sci-fi/western/camelot/roman theme park staffed by robots where humans visited and abused the robots, killing them or fighting them or sleeping with them, the robots hands were the only giveaways that they were robots, most of the movie took place in western-world, and this one robot dressed all in black started to follow the star of the movie trying to kill him
I know it is not strictly a western but I thought it was a pretty good homage to westerns in the same way that Kill Bill Volume 1&2 is a pretty good homage to kung-fu movies...
I just can't think of the name of the movie!!!

Favorite westerns:
Any movie with John Wayne.
Any movie with Clint Eastwood.
Tombstone.
Dances with Wolves.
The Wild Bunch.
The Magnificent Seven.
Quigley Down Under (O.K. So it's an Australian Western.)
Any western with Tom Selleck. (I think he is actually better in westerns, than any other type of movie.) Monte Walsh!!! Good movie!

"Paint Your Wagon" is considered a Musical 
I thought Clint sang Okay
I asked him about that when I met him during the time he was in Calgary when making of Unforgiven.
He told me thank you and I was probably the only who liked it
He felt it wasn't his finest moment.
I forgot about "The Shootist" I like that one as well.
A lot of classic titles are coming out .
Good post everyone !

as for City Slickers I can tell you that Billy Crystal had no horse experience but when it came time to ride he was a natural; which very much suprised and pleased the real cowboys doing the horse work for the movie...he had a double for riding some scenes but they didnt need him...i know because my friends ranches are used for a lot of westerns and most westerns use a movie crew of real cowboys all of which are from where 'bouts i live.

00BlueOvalRanger - I saw Monte Walsh and really liked it too. I agree. Tom Selleck is really good in the oaters.
alchymist - never saw Saber River. Where did it air?
and Kepler4 - I've only seen Tom Horn once, I'd like to see it again. I thought it was really well done.
