Having just watched one talking about the rise & demise of the Western
I've got to say they are interesting and thought provoking

I've never thought of Clint Eastwood as John Waynes successor
especially when films like The Unforgiven are taken into account

I'm yet to watch a documentary where I didn't learn something compared the the usual reptitive predictable drivel served up as entertainment

I long for the day when the Big Boys in Hollywood start making Films,TV series again that aren't based solely on PROFIT

Then we old thirty year old farts can forget the classics of the 50s/60s/70s
when film making was at its peak

When I was a student in Bristol, many moons ago, there were over 40 cinemas there. One year I was in digs with another student who was a fellow Western fanatic. We set ourselves the task of visiting every cinema to see a "new" Western (ie one we hadn't seen before). We didn't quite achieve it.

40 Cinemas!!!!! WOW

I guess the non existence of TV might have had a lot to do with the number
of cinemas

You didn't make it because you saw them all?
