The Old West and Western Movies

The Western frontier of the U.S., in most films, usually takes place west of the Mississippi and often in Arizona.

Some of these free western videos are a collection of popular movies filmed near Old Tucson, Arizona- a movie studio west of Tucson, Arizona.

The first western film was the 1903 movie "The Great Train Robbery", a silent film directed by Edwin S. Porter and starring Broncho Billy Anderson. The film's popularity opened the door for Anderson to become the screen's first cowboy star, making several hundred Western movie shorts.

So popular was the genre that he soon had competition in the form of William S. Hart. The golden age of the western film is epitomized by the work of two directors: John Ford (who often used John Wayne for lead roles) and Howard Hawks. ( some content from wikipedia: Western Movies)
