Top Ten : Westerns

I recently compiled my list of the top ten essential Western Movies for the Flick Feast website. As a genre, few can claim the longevity of this most American of art forms. From the early days of cinema, through it's heyday of the 1930's and 40's and including it's various resurrections and reincarnations, "Horse Opera's" as silent movie star William S. Hart called them, have always proved hugely popular. Perhaps it's the exciting adventures and rich characters that these movies possess, perhaps simply just a longing for a bygone era where good versus evil was (usually) more clearly defined . Whatever the appeal, some of cinema's moments have come from this extensive and varied genre
