      I didn't know there were multiples...the one on Amazon Prime, with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale.

              Yeah, I watched the remake.

              You guys had me thinking I'd missed something stupid.

                I liked 3:10 To Yuma. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy."

                  Since nobody has mentioned them yet...

                  "The Wild Wild West" - The Original TV show, not the only loosely related movie. Four seasons and two straight-to-TV movies of classic, "Weird West," awesomeness (Think James Bond meets John Wayne). I don't think it played a part, but I still can't help but feel that this show helped to pave the way for a certain Table-Top RPG Setting I'm a fan of.
                  "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr" - Another 'Weird West' show, this one from the 90's starring Bruce Campbell as the titular character. Only lasted one season, and a lot of the references are dated, but it's still got a lot of charm as a sci-fi western. Billy Drago plays a delightfully menacing villain.

                    Both had elements of steam punk in them.

                      Wild Wild West is my single most favorite show EVER. Brisco has a special place in my heart as well.

                      The Wild Wild West movie wasn't up to expectations - but I think it would have been fine if they had not tried to recreate the original cast of characters. Jim and Artie are elsewhere saving the world when a Loveless wannabe turns up - can the second string, new recruits get the job done?! I think Smith did a pretty danged good job as West - but that script wasn't workable as their origin story (that was done in series and the movie departed WAY too far from it).

                      Okay, other TV westerns:

                      High Chaparral (my favorite pure Western).

                      The Rifleman (my other favorite - it's like choosing between kids!)

                      Bonanza

                      Gunsmoke

                      Wagon Train

                      Rawhide

                          Cisco Kid



                          And Wild, Wild West was one of my all-time favorites as well. A major influence (much like It Takes a Thief), for good and bad.
