What about DanceHall Girlies!!
How about a Blazing Saddles range?
How about a Blazing Saddles range?
With the camp fire beans "scene"?
How about some more beans, Mr. Taggert?
I think you boys have had enough!
The Carpetbagger
The "Not-Very-Happy" post-war Confederate vets
The Mexican Bandits
The Greenhorn (Jimmy Stewart)
The Preacher
The Town Doc
The Mountain Men/Trappers
The "Nice" and Most Certainly Courageous Homesteaders Daughter (Grace Kelly)

The dead guys in the casket with photographer
Ha-Ha. As soon as I saw that suggestion I got an instant mindflash of the Eagles "Desperado" album.
"Go down little Doolin it must be God's spell"
"Two brothers lying dead in Coffeeville"
"Two voices call to you from where they stood"
"Lay down your lawbooks now they're no d****d good"
This is what I mean though Shiloh, there are instantly recognisable images in all of your suggestions above.
The necktie party = Has to be Clint in "Hang Them High"
The bank robbers = Has to be the James-Younger gang
The Gambler/Dentist = Has to be Victor Mature
The Cattle Drive = Has to be the one and only DUKE..!!
And who could ever forget Chief Dan George (think that's his name) in "The Outlaw Josie Wales".
Then there's;
The Carpetbagger
The "Not-Very-Happy" post-war Confederate vets
The Mexican Bandits
The Greenhorn (Jimmy Stewart)
The Preacher
The Town Doc
The Mountain Men/Trappers
The "Nice" and Most Certainly Courageous Homesteaders Daughter (Grace Kelly)
Sheesh.....and so on.....
I honestly think a range like The Streets of Old Dodge City would be a winner as it carries such wide appeal.
I would still rather have The Mongol Empire, but that's just me. Hey-wait a minute - TWO new ranges we were told......
Cheers

These all sound cool suggestions to me,i'd collect them without doubt.I like Sir Harold of Scotland's master of the understatement 'The not very happy confed vets'!! Its like saying 'The slightly miffed Captain of the Titanic'!! or 'Ann Boleyn's mildy annoyed Hairdresser'!!
Rob
Why thank you Lord Rob of K&C.
Hey, I can't remember what movie Kenneth More starred in as a Greenhorn.....Help anyone.
And what was the name of the "Carry-On" cowboy film..?? This one's maybe more for Brit's - but anyone's welcome to enlighten/remind me.
Cheers
Empty Heid
I believe it was in fact called 'Carry on Cowboy' Harry.Although it could of course been called 'Carry on Barbara Windsors career'
Rob
Why, how crass of me not to remember such a subtle title my Good Lord Roberto.
Wasn't Babs brilliant in those movies..?? Her career nosedived along with the rest when she landed her role in Eastenders though.
No offence meant to any fans of Eastenders here......(As if..?? Perish the very thought)
Cheers Rob

Couldn't agree more Lord Harold of furthest Northshire!.There really are only so many times you can hear that 'Get outa my pub'!, before you hurl a family heirloom at the tv screen screaming get out of my sight you ...........(empty for you to add your own description!)
Rob
I'm sorry Rob, I know you're a Southerner, but when I think back to that old comic strip in "Viz", the one featuring the character called "Cockney ****er" - it's Eastenders that instantly springs to my mind.....
"Oi yow, gerr aahtah moi paaab...."
No offence meant or unconsciously implied.
Cheers

Oooo, don't tease me Harry. Why stop there, why not not the ole four pistol toting "Missouri Bushwacker" himself (now there is your "The "Not-Very-Happy" post-war Confederate vet"). "...
Lone Watie: How did you know which one was goin' to shoot first?"
Josie Wales: "Well, that one in the center: he had a flap holster and he was in no itchin' hurry. And the one second from the left: he had scared eyes, he wasn't gonna do nothin'. But that one on the far left: he had crazy eyes. Figured him to make the first move....
Carpetbagger: Do you really think you can shoot all those men down before they shoot you? No, no, Mr. Josey Wales; there is such a thing in this country called justice!
Josey Wales: Well, Mr. Carpetbagger. We got somethin' in this territory called the Missouri boat ride.....
[shoots the rope hauling the ferry across the river]
Bounty hunter #1: You're wanted, Wales.
Josey Wales: Reckon I'm right popular. You a bounty hunter?
Bounty hunter #1: A man's got to do something for a living these days.
Josey Wales: Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy....
Ten Bears: These things you say we will have, we already have.
Josey Wales: That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.
Ten Bears: It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life....
Then you could add Redlegs, Ten Bears, Comancheros, Kansas pilgrams (with the granddaughter played by Clint's real life prickly vixen) and all the rest.
My favorite western and a classic deservedly selected for the National Film Registry. The film ends with a touch of historical irony when Josey Wales is called Mr. Wilson by one of the saloon dwellers intent on protecting Wales indentity from his pursuers. Wales character was based in part of the notorious bushwhacker named "Bill Wilson", a folk hero in the Missouri counties of Phelps and Maries.
Yes good one indeed, I was afraid I was getting a bit long windedWithout a doubt one of the two or three greatest westerns ever made. You left out one line I really loved:
Josie Wells: Seems like when I get to liking someone, they aint around long.
Lone Wattie: Seems like when you get to disliking someone, they aint around long either.
