  Western (genre) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Westerns, by definition, are set in the American West, almost always in the 19th century, generally between the Antebellum period and the turn of the century.
Western fiction got its start in the "penny dreadfuls" and later the "dime novels" that first began to be published in the mid-nineteenth century.
An offshoot of the western genre is the "post-apocalyptic" western, in which a future society, struggling to rebuild after a major catastrophe, is portrayed in a manner very similar to the 19th century frontier.

Movies of less than feature length (say 75 minutes, or somewhat less for older films) are also excluded; for example, Buster Keaton's 1965 film "The Railrodder", and the famous 1936 British doc- umentary "Night Mail", are both shorts and so not listed.
It is not a list of *realistic* movies about trains; I'm not qualified to evaluate all the technical details, but I can certainly say that many of the films have serious flaws in their depiction of railways.

 Paramount Ranch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Westerns used to be a very popular staple for most Hollywood studios, and it's hard to recreate the wide-open spaces needed for cowboy shoot 'em ups on a studio back lot.
They called them "movie ranches," and many of the films you thought were shot in some exotic locale were actually done right in your own back yard.
Today, those old sets are gone, but a Western Town is here for visitors to admire, complete with a Main Street lined with typical storefronts, such with a Sheriff's office, a flsmith/livery, a surveyors office, a saloon, a Post Office, barns, and a Wells Fargo office.

A dreadful movie in which a German director takes an event from the Nazi occupation of France (the killing of the French inhabitants of Oradour by lokcing them up in a church and setting fire to it) and attrivutes it to a Nazified British army.
The movie is historically inaccurate, and focuses on racial distrust.
