3 The Lone Ranger films - Know them?
Clayton Moore as The Lone Ranger
We feature the 3 movies with the title 'The Lone Ranger' but also consider other aspects of the story
There have been two 'The Lone Ranger' movies in the past (1956, 2003) and one more planned for 2013 from Disney with Johnny Depp at Tonto. Join us here for a further look at the The Lone Ranger in several incarnations.
The Lone Ranger and his horse, Silver, were always accompanied by his Indian friend, Tonto, of course. In the 1956 movie and in the television series, Tonto was portrayed by Jay Silverheels.

@Colin323: Thanks, for the memories, for sure! Neat! ;-)
Bill, this brought back memories of childhood and going to Saturday morning pictures in east London to see the 1956 version. You couldn't hear the soundtrack for all the kids hooting 'n hollering, jumping up and down, and fighting along with the film; a lone, elderly cinema attendant vainly tried to control the rabble, but in vain. Great film though, what I heard of it.

@HappyTom LM: Always happy to help out. The past certainly helps inform the present and future, that is for sure! ;-)
Thank you very much for creating this lens! I did not know that there were already lone ranger movies. So I really could learn something. Very informative and just a great lens, thank you so much!

@othellos: For sure. How will the new film change your perceptions, that is the question! ;-)
Johnny Depp as Tonto... Well it's time to see another great performance. Lone Ranger was part of my American heritage education as a kid! Unforgettable:=)

I love pirates and my sister just asked me if I liked the lone ranger or just pirates. I was going to google the lone ranger but then I came across this here lens. Thanks for sharing!

@anonymous: Thank you. It was fun. ;-)
We always watched The Lone Ranger on Saturdays growing up. It will be fun to see Johnny Depp morph into being Tonto...he just seems to do all things well. I'm not familiar with Armie Hammer but he's going to look gorgeous in that mask! I love how you personalized this with your grandson by Clayton Moore's star! :)

@takkhisa: Latest in theaters in a few days... ;-)
I do enjoy watching western movies. Thanks for introducing these movies, I would surly watch them :)

I've watched a few of the old tv episodes and they were all right...not sure I'll see the new movie.

@anonymous: They were very popular... way back when! ;-)
Never watched them honestly but my parents loved them
I rember The Lone Ranger and Tonto from when I was little - loved them! Loved the horse most. Can't wait for the Johnny Depp film.
