Best Westerns
 

Just watched the end of Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood. holy crap. I forgot what a badazz movie that is. Ruthless

I love how they portray the characters. Some claim they're hard, others know they're hard, and then there's William Munny. Gene Hackman is awesome. The scene where the kid finally realizes who Eastwood is and what he's done, just great acting. Probably my favorite western of all time.

Whats everyone's go to western?

that is a great one but my Favorite is the Good,The Bad and the Ugly
It's a classic and full of classic Clint lines, and who doesn't love Tuco.
The music is my ringtone

The Searchers (John Wayne)

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart)

The Big Country (Gregory Peck, Burl Ives)

Silverado (Kevin Costner among others)

Gunfight at the OK Corral (Lancaster/Douglas)

Good List Larry....I was in the process of posting the Magnificent Seven because I thought you missed it.

How about The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Jesussss I need to brush up on my westerns! No Dancing with Wolves, eh? ...tutonka

El Topo!

Definitely one of my favs Kev!:uhuh:

Blazing Saddles is hands down the best western ever.
I'll argue best movie ever !

Anyone seen the Japanese samurai movie shogun assassin and it's series of sequels called lone wolf and cub??? All based on plots of spaghetti westerns
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Yes I have seen shogun assassin! it was also inspired a ton of comics. My brother was a huge comic book geek, he bought me Lone wolf and cub graphic novels when I was younger.

Open Range-
Costner and Duvall, best and most realistic gunfire ever.

I love it when the Doctor tells DOC Holiday that he'll have to refrain from having any more sex because he's about to die soon

and Doc Holiday (played by Val Kilmer) says

"I believe it's time we re-define the Nature of our association........"

- huckleberry 2 :)

I know it's not associated with the movies, but the original "Lone Ranger" movie, where it explains why he became the man and why he wears the mask. It's not the squeaky clean version (TV) where nobody gets killed on camera, it's got some guts. I saw it on tv the week before they released the remake movie, and I kept thinking "Man, there's a lot of guys getting killed for a 'Lone Ranger' movie?"

The movies listed here already a great. Great shot locations, great actors and strong story lines.

Here's another goodie: "The Bend in the River" Jimmy Stewart, I believe.

Started watching Season 1 of Hell on Wheels....pretty good western Series from AMC

I was trying to remember the name of that movie Dave (though I have seen it 20 times) I could not remember it off the top of my head! I put that on my list! Great movie!!!

I love Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Watched that one with my Dad a millions times. I'm pretty sure that and Jaws are the only movies he's ever watched. "I can't swim. What are you crazy, the fall will probably kill ya!"

Big Sky was really good. And, though it was a TV mini-series, I really really liked Lonesome Dove with David Duvall.

Shane The Shootist. McLintock, Sons of Katie elder, The war Wagon. Luv Westerns

Once Upon a Time in the West - the beautiful Claudia Cardinale, Charles "Harmonica" Bronson, and Henry Fonda as the bad guy! Classic spaghetti western by Sergio Leone

lonesome dove series

the outlaw josey wales

Hell on Wheels is a great series.

Unforgiven, Quick and the Dead, 3:10 to Yuma, Love all of the classic Eastwood spaghetti westerns

Blazing Saddles is a comedy not a western....

If those are the only 2 movies he's ever seen, he's doing OK!

The Searchers (someon eelse mentioned)
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Silverado (hate Costner, but I thought it was a fun movie)
Magnificent 7
Unforgiven
Butch Cassidy
True Grit (original)
Blazing Saddles (different kind of western)
Treasure Of the Sierra Madre
High Noon
High Plains Drifter
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Pale Rider

Butch: Would you make a jump like that, if you didn't have to?
Sundance: I have to, and I'm not doin' it.

Larry,how about when Duval shot thru the wall with his shotgun and knocked
the guy outside thru the air into the next building. :) I think there was more intensive gunfire in that scene than most except for maybe Josey Wales.

Add the man from Snowy river... that was as good as a "B" movie gets... kirk Douglas as great in that one..

i second snowy river .... a bit of a feel good movie granted
but the ol gold miner kirk Douglas character was his best imho.
