  8. Excellent choices all. I liked the second-to-the-last best though. The Star-Trek one was a clever surprise. Happy Mute Monday!

  10. Not much of a western fan but I did enjoy "Alias Smith & Jones" back in the day.

  11. Westworld was so cool! I remember seeing that with my parents at the drive-in. And I'm a huge fan of all the Spaghetti Westerns, particularly Sergio Leone's. He was an artist. Happy, happy!

  12. Robert Redford as Sundance... that was the first celebrity crush I had. Sigh... the scene where Katherine Ross undresses at gunpoint...

  16. Hi Guys. Back from my holiday now and with a bit more time to reply to comments.

    Walker - Thank you. I have read a few western novels too. Have been a fan since I was quite young.

    Polar - I love having you in my fan club x

    AB - It's one of my fave episodes too. I was literally chortling when I read the theme for this week.

    Os - It's becoming a challenge and some weeks are easier than others :)

    Mr Bananas - Chekhov was very sweet but I've always loved James T Kirk with a passion. Sadly the only pic I could find of him from that episode was the one showing the flying leap. Still, nice arse!

    Dazza - There were several stills from the Magnificent 7 but that one is my favourite.

    Kate - I loved James Drury too. All that black leather and slick oiled hair contrasting with the snow white of his horse. Be still my beating heart!

    Troll - The Gunfight at the OK Corall? That was the only one I could find. I really wanted a still from one of the movies but they just didnt show enough action. Great theme this week x

    Thursday - Yul was definitely a childhood hero of mine :)

    Nitebyrd - Who couldnt love Pete and Ben? x

    Moi - Yup Sergio definitely had what it takes :)

    Lakey - OMG yes! I watched that film as a house prize in my first year at senior school and would have been about 12. I never forgot the impact of that particular scene. I think it's one of the reasons I so love it when Ruf goes all dominant on me.

    k9 - Lee Van Cleef was such a great baddie!

    JJ - I can hear the theme music and see the cacti in my head even now :)

    Trixie - Like I said, it's becoming a challenge ;P
