Totally off effing topic

How does one grow up watching westerns with their dad, going to drive in movies and have never seen the original True Grit with John Wayne?

The last of the great "Cowboys", Robert Duvall and Clint Eastwood are really getting up there. The best of the younger generation that makes a western that I like is Costner. The two problems is 1, The great westerns were made when western history wasn't that far in the past, which is no longer the case any longer and 2, Hollywood seems to no imagination left, constantly remaking movies, especially those that shouldn't be touched rather than actually making something new.
