I'm glad you started this thread RRA. I've been seeing the commercials for 3:10 to Yuma and have been trying to figure out when it's going to open in theaters. I really want to see it! I'm a big western fan, in fact Unforgiven (1992) is my all time favorite movie.
A western I recently enjoyed was The Proposition (2005) starring Guy Pearce. It takes place in Australia, and is a brutal movie with sudden graphic violence. There really isn't anything pleasant about the movie and I wouldn't recommend it to any casual western fans, but if you enjoyed Unforgiven then you might like this one.
I'm hoping 3:10 to Yuma will be on the same level as the two movies I mentioned. Christian Bale looks like he is going to be really good in that part.
