LOWCW 2026 || Match the Director to the Film Game

Welcome to our first game of the week!

The film titles are all originals / not any remakes. I also threw in a couple extras to hopefully mix it up a bit (i.e. so 1-2 directors will have multiple listed films to their name). Leave your guesses in the comments, and I'll post everyone's comments and scores at the end of the week. Enjoy!

John Ford 

Sergio Leone

Tonino Valerii

Michael Curtiz

Clint Eastwood

Delmer Daves

John Sturges

Anthony Mann

William Wyler

Burt Kennedy

Henry Hathaway

Lawrence Kasdan


Films

Dodge City

My Name is Nobody

The Big Country

The Outlaw Josey Wales

The Magnificent Seven

Silverado

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

The Westerner

Unforgiven

3:10 to Yuma

The Tin Star

Support Your Local Sheriff

I tried to throw in some wild cards... and now I really can't tell if I made it too challenging or way too easy. :P :) Hope you have fun!!

  1. This is very challenging but in a good way. XD I feel like I never paid my attention to directors when I was younger but now I’ve started to be able to see their touch from film to film so I like storing this information away! For my guesses:

    Dodge City - John Ford?
    My Name is Nobody - William Wyler
    The Big Country - Henry Hathaway
    The Outlaw Josey Wales - Delmer Daves
    The Magnificent Seven - Sergio Leone
    Silverado - John Sturges
    The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly - I want to say Clint Eastwood so badly but I don’t think he directed AND starred…maybe Tonino Valerii?
    The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - John Ford?
    The Westerner - Anthony Mann
    Unforgiven - Burt Kennedy
    3:10 to Yuma - Burt Kennedy
    The Tin Star - John Ford (“when in doubt, guess John Ford” seems to be my MO XD)
    Support Your Local Sheriff - I should know this one based on how many times I’ve watched it. xD Michael Curtiz sounds familiar?
    The Sons of Katie Elder - John Ford

    I don’t know why I bothered putting question marks when everything was a guess. XD Thanks for the fun, Heidi!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and look forward to further confabulation. Please just be courteous to one and all. Oh, and I love thoughts on old posts, so comment away!

(Also of late -- what with time being finite, and Life Happening + managing multiple blogs and computer issues and all that -- I sometimes have to alternate between creating new content and replying to comments, but rest assured I'm thrilled to hear from each and every one of you and always hope to reply thoughtfully in full ASAP.)
