The four movies I can remember seeing as a kid were 'The Elephant Man,' 'The Magnificent Seven,' 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' and 'Mad Max!' Two of those are westerns. So the western genre is emblazoned on my memory from childhood, and those are two great movies.
I'm not that into the fake meat anymore. The familiar texture makes the transition from meat to soy and wheat products easier, but it's kind of limiting. There are lots of great ways to prepare meatless dishes without simulating meat.
