a man gotta do something for a living......,

dying ain't much of a living ..........

:D

Told ya....you da man BW! There are so many great westerns, you can't name all of them and be rational about which one is the best. I love that one too!

#1 of all time has to be The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

HI_HO_SILVER:hee:.....away.

Slip that almost nosed out OJW and then when I realized I could recite nearly a 1/4 of the film without stopping to think about it I realized who the winner was.

But we ALL have our favorites now don't we.

High Plains Drifter, ooh. :D

The Outlaw Josey Wales for me too!

"Hows it work on stains? Pa-toooo-iee!"

I've only seen one western before, the one with Clint and that very pretty, shy, withdrawn, introverted, girl--who I had a crush on for the whole lenght of the movie. The preacher had a crush on her too--Clint aint no fool, taciturn yes, maybe even laconic--but no fool.
Pale Rider I think was the title.

The Wild Bunch
Jeremiah Johnson
The Searchers

Jeremiah Johnson's definitely on the list :D

Any Little Big Man fans? :hihi:

The Quick and the Dead.

ooh little big man
Jeremiah Johnson :)

Jeremiah Johnson is good
how bout

Paint the town red.

Finally someone mentioned The Wild Bunch :btu:

Yes, Pale Rider is the name goosefish.

High Plains Drifter, awesome movie - many great classic scenes = the bathtub twice, where Clint kills those guys and when the girl is mad because he didn't come back for more:hihi:
Then he makes the little guy Sheriff, he shoots that guy's ear off, paints the whole town red, Clint made some great westerns.

Thats it slip.
I just could not remember the name.

She Wore A Yellow Ribbon

The Shootist

Shane

The Unforgiven

And Last of the Mohicans, although it's not so much a Western in the true sense, I guess. McCabe and Mrs. Miller, too, which would probably also fall in the non-western Western category.

All good; no order
Outlaw Josie, Pale Rider, Unforgiven, havent seen it but Open Range is supossed to be good...

The classic "My Darling Clementine" with Henry Fonda and Walter Brennan.

The Three Amigos. Hefe, would you say I have a plethara of pinatas?

blazen saddles --the funniest and stupidist / Dances with Wolfs the most accurate for a western movie

In no order Winchester 73, The Seachers, High Noon, Blazing Saddles, Chisum, The Unforgiven. The Rounders last one really isn't a western but any movie with Jimmy Steawert and Glen Ford is a good one in my Book. ThomT

the gang that couldnt shoot straight , blazin saddles and the shakiest gun in the west .

the wild bunch , mclintock, chisum , fort apache and all time the sons of katie elder .

Pat Garritt & Billy the Kid. With Kris Kristoferson and Bob Dylan as Alias.

High Plains Drifter, Sons of Katie Elder

Malikii was the migets name:smas... hey BLONDY

Blondy....Tuco...and Angel Eyes....Classic!:hang:

the meaty beaty big and bouncy

"Blondiiiiiiiiiieieeeeeeeeee! You know what you aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrre"

Eli Wallach was the star of that movie. Tuco is a classic :btu:

"what was that you said? it's only 20 miles back to town, but I feel a man of your character can make it :)" "It's very hard when you don't have anything to drink:af: "

" I have a different method, I shoot the legs off the stool"

"we want to enlist general" "you better learn to distinguish rank soldier"

Why don't we just blow up the bridge, then these fools will go someplace else to fight"

Arch Stanton :D

some body go back to town for a #^&#^&#^&#^&t load of dimes:smash:

silverado ....was always a favorite - 2nd the vote on jeremiah Johnson..... "whats on the spit pilgrim" i liked quigley down under alot...... but one of my favorites was wyatt Earp with Val Kilmer as Doc holiday
with such great lines like " I'm your Huckleberry".
and "its time to re-define the nature of our association"

Lonesome Dove. None better, ever. Read the book first though. THE definitive American novel.

mckenna's gold, gregory peck,edward g. robinson and a bunch of stars i cant remember. :D

The Magnificent Seven

Blazing Saddles ("Mongo only Pawn in Game of Life")

Silverado

Any Spaghetti Western

Don't forget " TRUE GRIT"

Hang'em High

While I love Clint's movies, come on the dubbed english isn't what I'd call oscar material.

"Who are those guys"

"You fellas gonna whistle Dixie or pull yer pistols"

The Professionals with Lee Marvin
"You Bastard"
" Yessir, in my case an accident of birth, but you sir are a self made man"

after Tuco shoots a guy while in the bathtub he says " ya gonna shoot, shoot, don't talk"

All good choices, but I am surprised that no one has mentioned the greatest Western of all time - Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West". Just came out on DVD. Charles Bronson, Jason Robards and Henry Fonda (as a really bad 'bad guy').

Also has the best musical score ever. Just my opinion.

Let me add a quote:

As three killers (including Jack Elam and Woody Strode) meet up with Bronson at a railway station, we get the following:

Bronson: "Did you bring a horse for me?"

Elam (chuckling): "Looks like we're one horse shy."

Bronson: "No. You brought two too many."

Just saw The Shootist again on the Western Channel - haven't seen it in a while and the cast is good - Lauren Bacall, Jimmy Stewart, Richard Boone, Hugh O'Brien, Ron Howard, John Carradine - good final gunfight scene.

uhhh... i think its called Open Range.. ;) Thats the only western movie i know the name of i think.. :D

Katie...how did you like that movie? I have not seen it yet and I was thinking about buying it. Could you let me know? Thanks.:kewl:

I have seen quite a bit of it and it seem rather good.. but one thing if you rent movies then you should rent it first.. :D

Rio Bravo
El Dorado
Outlaw J.W.


" Don't piss down my back and tell me its raining" Fletcher
