I will say that the few made any more are *better* westerns in many
respects, though. Lonesome Dove, Unforgiven, Tombstone, Open Range, The
Jack Bull are just a few that come to mind. They've all been made in the
not-so-distant past...

Sure you can. And Gabby was right up there with Walter Brennan in the
Most Beloved Sidekick category. It's a damn shame westerns can't get
financing anymore. From the turn of the century to 1970 about half the
movies made in this country were westerns. Now you can't get financing
together to make one to save your life. Even Kevin Costner had to go out
on a limb to get "Open Range" made. They just aren't considered
marketable anymore. It's a real shame 'cause it's a very American genre.
It's almost like letting a piece of America die when you stop making
westerns.
