A Chick Flick as my wife would say, but some nice hats in there:

Murphy's Romance with Sally Field and James Garner.

 

[Michael R.]

The Searchers (1956) , Directed by John Ford ...

If you've ever been to Monument Valley then you've probably been inside the cabin that was built on site for The Searchers. The first time I was in there I remembered the opening scene from the movie when the doors open & from the inside the camera is looking out into beautiful Monument Valley & it flashes on the screen, "Texas 1868". As I stood there & looked out those doors for the first time all I could think of was this ain't Texas!

So True , but out between Abilene and Lubbock there's some semi similar less dramatic scenery .

I got reflection from the glass taking this just now but here is my pic taken of Totem Pole & yei bi chei in 2008. I had to hire a Navajo guide to take me into this point. They are very protective of the sand dunes & no one can walk on them. The public tours never get this close. From where I was standing to yei bi chei was probably 1/4 mi across the sand dune.

That was my exact thought. I even rewound it to show my wife. We got a kick out of that.

This one ...

or this one ?

Different cabins , I think .

Yes there are two cabins. Opening scene is shot from the second pic as I remember. One is now a gift shop in the park. The other is up that side road a short ways. In 2008 they built a small airfield in that flat along that road & was going to have a sanctioned airplane race that summer. I was there in May & they were building it then.

Also down in the Big Bend area there are similar looking mountains and mesas in the desert. But not around the oak woods of Ft. Parker.

Robert Duvall & Thomas Hayden Church in "Broken Trail"

 

[hatophile]

Duvall does great cowboys.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Duvall does great cowboys.

Yep, & frankly that's why I don't hold out much hope for the remake of the Magnificent Seven being any good. They rewrite the story & there is not a single actor who can play a cowboy in it.

Robert Duvall & Thomas Hayden Church in "Broken Trail"

Good flick, often overlooked. Church surprised me in this one. You telling me Denzel can't play a cowboy.
