Hec Ramsey (1972)
My Favorite Western TV Series
Hec Ramsey was a retired gunfighter (See "Have Gun - Will Travel") in the early 20th century. As gunfighting was going out of fashion, he took a job as Deputy Sheriff in Oklahoma. Being somewhat politically incorrect, he was frequently at loggerheads with the Sheriff, a dude who was grooming himself to run for Mayor.
Unlike most western TV lawmen of the 70's, Hec would often demonstrate considerable sexual appetite and prowess. This was sometimes extended to female villains, but he always busted them after collecting the evidence.
Hec was only able to retain his job as a result of his successful record due to his intelligence and use of new-fangled methods of criminology such as fingerprinting and ballistics.
Unfortunately, the series only lasted for 10 episodes and will probably never be released on DVD.
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
The definitive werewolf move!
An American Werewolf in London is populated with a fine cast of talented actors who draw you into their individual personalities along with their roles in the story. The werewolf transformations were mind-blowing when I first saw the movie came came out in 1981, and gave me second thoughts about having brought my two preteen children with me. As it turned out, they seemed less disturbed by the graphic scenes than I was. The film contains a superb blend of horror, sex, comedy and tragedy. The scenery in the moors and in London is beautiful. The soundtrack and cinematography are great. I enjoyed every moment of the movie and purchased the DVD at first opportunity. This is one of the best and most entertaining films I have seen.
