JFK and The Last King of Scotland have too narrow a focus and cover too short a time to be considered biopics, IMHO. **I Love a Western** 1. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs 2. Silverado 3. The Searchers 4. The Magnificent Seven 5. True Grit 6. Unforgiven 7. The Quick and the Dead 8. Cat Ballou 9. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 10. Appaloosa One of the best recent Westerns, I’d say. Next up: **I Love an Adventure on the High Seas** 1. The Cruel Sea Not nearly as good as the book, but still… ---
