…the great Western movie, Sergeants 3? Remember the Rat Pack from the ‘60s? Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop — the masters of “cool” — do a western spoof on the classic film Gunga Din. As the cut-ups that these guys are, you can tell a lot of the film is spur-of-the-moment dialog.

In a lonely frontier outpost these guys have to hold off the Indians until help arrives in a nick of time. Politically incorrect for our times, this movie is still wonderful to watch.

Have You Heard About... The Sacketts

…Louis L’Amour’s great Westerns? The Sacketts is based on two Louis L’Amour books – The Daybreakers and Sackett. These two stories are intertwined to make one great western movie starring Sam Elliott, Tom Selleck, Ben Johnson, Glenn Ford and a host of old time western characters actors. Cattle, mining, card sharks, right vs. wrong – this movie has it all.

Originally shown on TV in 1979 as a miniseries, this three-hour classic is not to be missed. This movie was not put into a DVD format until 2006, so the bonus feature is important to watch also.
