4. (1994) This western comedy tells the tale of a really big poker game, and the adventures of the players trying to come up with the $25,000 ante. The good guy (played by Mel Gibson) wins of course, but there are enough plot twists at the end to keep things interesting.
5. (1969) Let's stick with the western theme. This was a very funny movie, although the chemistry between the two main stars was enough to make this movie worth seeing alone.
