Western Title Actor Trivia Game


For my second game this week, I have rounded up a whole lot of western movies with a person's name or descriptor in the title.  Your job?  Tell me who played the title character(s)!

To make this easier, I have a bank of actor and actress names for you to choose from.  Although, some of these get used more than once, so maybe that won't make it much easier?  Still, I know some people have a hard time remembering actor names, so I thought that would help.  There are three rounds -- Wrangler, Top Hand, and Trail Boss.  

Each name you get correct counts as a point!  Max score of 65 points possible.

(If this list of names is too small for you to read easily, right click on it and open it in another window, which will make the words bigger.)


(Please note that the presence of a film on these lists does not necessarily mean I recommend it.  I haven't even seen some of them.)

  4. (This is Chloe the MovieCritic. My computer is not working with me today...)

    This is such a clever idea! Man, I didn’t realize so many westerns with the names of the characters in the title. Or, not names, but titles in the title. XD

    1….Gary Cooper?
    2.Doris Day? I’ve never actually seen this. But it’s the only one that makes sense for her?
    4.John Wayne
    6.Jane Fonda?
    8.Jimmy Stewart
    11.John Wayne
    13.Natalie Portman? I’m only going by the years.
    17.Armie Hammer
    18.Jimmy Stewart
    23.I was going to guess Tom Selleck but I don’t know
    24.Totally a shot in the dark but Maureen O’Hara? She’s a redhead?
    25.Alan Ladd
    26.Okay, so I know this movie HAS John Wayne, but I don’t know if HE’S the Shootist?
    28.Bill Pullman?
    29.Alan Ladd

    32.Gail Russell and John Wayne
    34.I know one of these is Sidney Poitier…
    35.(Okay, I don’t remember which one is which…) Paul Newman and Robert Redford? Yeah, I’m pretty sure Robert Redford is Sundance…
    36.Mwahaha this is such a trick question. I think Liberty Valance is Lee Marvin? Anyway, “The Man Who Shot” is John Wayne, but the man who everyone thinks shot is Jimmy Stewart.
    38.John Wayne and I have no clue.

    39.Again, I don’t know which is supposed to be which. I claim to have seen this movie but I wasn’t really paying attention because I think I was blogging or something… Anyway. Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach? No clue who the third was.
    40.*cracks knuckles* Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn…ugh, I was doing so well! These are completely guesses after this. I definitely don’t know who the kid is. Charles Bronson (Okay, I’m pretty sure about him. NOW they’re all guesses). Charlton Heston, Micheal Anderson Jr., Harry Belafonte?
    41.John Wayne and Dean Martin. I know there are 4 but…
    43….John Wayne? I feel like that’s who I guess when I have no clue. xD
