The Good the Bad and the Ugly

reply

1. Rio Bravo
2. Tombstone
3. Wyatt Earp
4. The Alamo (John Wayne version)
5. Big Jake
6. Young Guns 2
7. Young Guns

Someday I think you and I are going to have a serious disagreement

reply

High Plains Drifter. Revenge with a cherry on the top.

The Good The Bad and the Ugly. Best Morricone score, best finale.

The Wild Bunch. Old guys going out in style. With added slo-mo.

Once Upon a Time in the West. Even Bronson couldn't ruin it.

Shenendoah/How the West Was Won/ Gunfight at the Ok Corral/ The Big Country/ Winchester 73. It's hard to believe that Shenendoah was contemporary with the Leone movies (1965). It has far more in common with the 50s style "good men and true" stoic heroism.


**********SPOILER ALERT**************
Open Range harks back to those 50s movies, when overly bloody revenge was prone to censorship, and it doesn't suffer for it in the slightest. It could easily make it to the matinee slot on weekend afternoon tv.
No doubt there's some who'll fault it for not being violent or fast enough, but it's a film about people and their relationship to the land, with a decent enough resolution by flying lead. The inaccuracy of the old weapons is quite nicely shown when the whole town shoots the bad guys from about thirty feet away, but still take about twenty shots to drop them.
It's a decent stab at the genre. Duvall is awesome as always, nonchalantly pottering around while gutshot, just like Slim Pickens in his prime.

1) The Good, The Bad and The Ugly or Once Upon a Time in the West... i cant decide

4) Lonesome Dove (if it counts)

- "Wild, Wild West"
- "Cat Ballou"
- "Westworld" (a real stretch)
- "Two Mules For Sister Sara"
- "Bronco Billy"
- "Serenity" (another stretch)
- "Joe Kidd"
- "Hang 'Em High"
- "Shanghai Noon"
- "Shanghai Knights"

reply

Once Upon A Time In The West

High Plains Drifter

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

Tombstone

Open Range

reply

I like them all even those cheesy serials shown on the western channel.

reply

1. Tombstone
2. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
3. Unforgiven
4. Silverado
5. Once Upon a Time in the West

I love all of the big classic Westerns like The Searchers, Stagecoach, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, High Noon, The Wild Bunch, Rio Bravo, The Magnificent Seven, How the West Was Won, The Big Country, Shane, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and El Dorado.


I can't believe that I don't have a Howard Hawks or John Ford directed Western, or a Western starring John Wayne in my top 5. But those five happen to be my favorites of all-time so far.

I still haven't seen The Outlaw Josey Wales or Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid.

reply

My Personal Top 5+

1) Unforgiven
2) The Good The Bad and The Ugly
3) Open Range
4) The Shootist
5) Wyatt Earp
6) The Outlaw Josey Wales
7) High Plains Drifter
8) Silverado
9) The Cowboys
10) Shane
11) Pale Rider
12) Lonesome Dove--- Mainly because of Robert Duvall
13) McLintock! - good movie not a great western
14) Dances With Wolves - never concidered it a western really

westerns need to keep being made and make them raw..
not dirty soap opras like Deadwood.. just because they say *beep* every 2sec's dosent make it great.


I Can't believe how many people put Tombstone on there list-- it was very
MTV western... big stars pretty colors-- and a bubble gum version of Wyatt Earp

People need to get off of Costner. Some idiot compared his perfomance in (range / earp / silverado) as all the same character, that is just retarted.

reply

Now these are REAL WESTERNS

1) Lonesome Dove 5 : Tommy Lee Jones devoured by killer Doves.

2) Brokeback Mountain 2 : The Tunnel of Doom

3) How the West was Filmed with annoying-lines-on-the-screen Vision : Jimmy Stewart as Jimmy Stewart.

4) The Searchers

5) Red River

7) Fistfull of Dollars

8) Ride the High Country

6) Paul Newman meets Robert Redford.

reply

Shane!!!

I'm only 38 and didn't start going to the movies a lot until I was in my teens and could take myself. The single greatest movie going experience of my life was seeing a grainy, scratchy copy of Shane on the big screen during a cowboy film festival. I was so enthralled I didn't even touch my popcorn.

Now if someone would just screen The Searchers in a theater my life would be complete.
