I preferred the 'Tombstone / Wyatt Earp / Billy the Kid' Westerns more so than the usual John Wayne or Gary Cooper goody goody saint type heroes, if I had to watch any at all. John Wayne was much better when he got older and a bit more rougher around the edges. Which is why Robert Mitchum with those untrustworthy eyes probably appealed to women more!

Remakes usually turn out to be disappointing i.e. Wicker Man and Clash of the Titans although they are different kinds of movies, films in general at the moment turn out to be disappointing so I will probably give the new 'True Grit' a miss at the cinema and perhaps see it when it comes out on DVD.
