Hard to do as a single movie type or actor. Almost anything with John Wayne in the cowboy/gunfighter role. All of the so called spaghettie westerns of Clint Eastwood.
Mini series The Pacific. And the original Lonesome Dove.

I really enjoyed The Pacific . I still watch reruns of Lonesome Dove , it was one of my late fathers favourites , along with Jeremiah Johnson . I'll pour myself a Whiskey , watch it and remember the Old Man .

Snatch

Is that the one with Debbie in it mate?

along with Jeremiah Johnson .

A book well worth reading Crow Killer,Liver Eating Johnston. Jeramiah J was based on this mountain man and is tame in comparison.
I first read it at 14 andd was enthralled.

A couple of titbits below Steve......it doesnt say if he cooked the leg lol.

"He supposedly killed and scalped more than 300 Crow Indians and then devoured their livers" to avenge the death of the wife, and "As his reputation and collection of scalps grew, Johnson became an object of fear."[7]


He was stripped to the waist, tied with leather thongs and put in a teepee with only one very inexperienced guard. Johnson managed to break through the straps. He then knocked out his young guard with a kick, took his knife and scalped him, and then quickly cut off one of his legs.[dubious – discuss] He made his escape into the woods, surviving by eating the Blackfoot's leg, until he reached the cabin of Del Gue, his trapping partner, a journey of about two hundred miles (320 km).
