Movies featuring tumbleweed.

November 30, 2011 1:06 PM

Looking for shots of tumbleweed in movies/tv.

It's for a possible editing project. I'd prefer clips from from serious classic westerns but any suggestions welcome. So far all I have is The Big Lebowski and Silverado.

I think you'll find some stretched across the following Horror films

Feast (most of the film is at night, but you might catch a tumbleweed in the last scene or so), Feast 2, Feast 3
Devil's Rejects
Rubber

those are just off the top o' my head.

There's plenty of tumbleweed footage on the youtubes. Probably not what you're looking for, but this one's pretty neat.

Black&White okay? If so, find an episode of The Outer Limits called Cry Of Silence.

Best answer: Shooting Stars, for Vic's jokes.

I swear I remember tumbleweed in Eraserhead, but exactly where escapes me.

Looking forward to this one, Dunk. :)
