You know what was a great Western? Hawaii Five-O. America can’t get much further west than that.

I’ve seen a few movies and shows set in Hawaii already. We need to have more movies set in American Samoa, or maybe Guam.

The most Western Western there is. It even has Henry Fonda in it.

How about the Austrian Alps? The 19th century happened on a lot of places and as long as they have a frontier aspect they qualify as the setting of a Western.

If you enjoyed the movie, I highly recommend the book as well. It’s not just a great western; it’s also a masterful adaptation.
