How Well Do You Know Your Classic Westerns?
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Not very, apparently.

18 out of 25. It would have been 19 but I couldn't think of a western in which the characters sat around watching a TV screen
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Better than I thought I would, 15/25.

15/25 for me, too...which is better than I thought, too. Not bad, considering I've actually only seen a couple of the titles.

Not as good as I'd expected...I got 21 of 25 right

15 for me too.
But what the heck is that tv doing in High Noon? The way that town looked, I don't think they even had electricity.

Re: How Well Do You Know Your Classic Westerns?
I was really curious about that, too (especially since the story is set in Hadleyville, New Mexico Territory). I was able to find the photo on several sites on da InnerWebz, including here, where the caption says "The "High Noon" cast in costume and Carl Foreman take a television break. Were they watching the HUAC hearings in downtown Los Angeles?" (Apparently the answer to that question is NO, because elsewhere I found the information that they were watching the World Series opener between the NY Yankees and the NY Giants on on Oct. 4, 1951.)
I'm gonna go ahead and amend my score to 15/24.

I didn't even notice the TV! I just saw Gary Cooper and hit High Noon.
20/25 for me, thought I'd do better. I spent many Saturday afternoons of my youth watching westerns with my grandfather.

17/25
Not bad considering how many are well before my time. I should have a Westerns marathon sometime, many that I didn't know look well worth watching.
