What must a movie have in it before it can be called a Western?

@Pretzel

When you were a kid and watched a campfire scene (which always seemed to show the cowhands eating beans) did you ever actually open a can of - then prepare - beans and pretend you were sitting around a campfire?

@rinkydinkydoink didn't have to wait for no movie

I was a pro!

@Monalisasmith86

Something you'll probably never see is a wounded or gimpy horse. Amazing, really, what with all the gunfire and runaway stagecoaches.

@bijouxbroussard

There aren't many movies with Kevin Kostner, John Cleese and Lynn Whitfield in the cast.

More on Whitfield from IMDb -

With roots leading back to Louisiana southern aristocracy, lovely leading lady Lynn Whitfield was born in 1953, the eldest of four children and a third-generation BFA graduate from Howard University. Her dentist father was instrumental in developing Lynn's initial interest in acting as he was a prime figure in forming community theater in her native Baton Rouge. She is of African American and Native American descent, specifically Cherokee.

@rinkydinkydoink Yes, I know who she is. Danny Glover starred, too.

@22Michelle

He appeared in them for decades and decades.

Here he is in The Desert Trail (1935) - note the dark shade lipstick - with Mary Kornman who was a child star in the Our Gang comedies of the 1920s.

Indeed...

The follow-up post will be about things/events one will [b]never[/b] see in a Western movie.
For example - I've never seen a hipster doofus in one.

@AngelUnforgiven

And we don't want that... 😂

@tobynshorty

Miss Kitty may object to that characterization....
