Saw "The Missing" the other night. Decent flick. Just thought of how many good westerns there are. High Noon. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. The Searchers. Hang 'em High. Young Guns. Dances With Wolves. Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. My top three:

1. Unforgiven-Love this flick. Shows the humanity in everyone. Clint turned his stereotype on its ear. The scene where he busts into the bar:

Little Bill: "I don't DESERVE this!!!"
Bill Muny: "Deserve's got nuthin to do with it."

Clint looked as menacing as ever.

2: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.- Never get tired of this one.

3. Tombstone: Modern retelling of a classic film and does it well, with fine acting and good writing.

What are your favourites?

The Outlaw Josey Wales
Unforgiven
McClintock
2 Mules for Sister Sarah

Sheeeesh. Don't think I can name a favorite. "The Searchers" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", saw it on tv the other night, are definitly towards the top. "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and "Unforgiven" are my favorite Eastwood westerns. Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch" just might be my favorite. Warren Beatty in "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" is a good one.

I'll have to think on this one. One thing it isn't is that Italian "Good, Bad and the Ugly".
Never got the appeal of that genre

Ce qui est ceci "Western"?



I hate Westerns. Ever since I was forced to sit through them without speaking from my earliest childhood memories EVERY SUNDAY while visiting my grandma and her husband.

I don't have an interest in westerns, so I guess I will have to say no favourite!!

Paint Your Wagon, with Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin.

The good, the bad and the ugly and unforgiven.

GB doesn't even have a 'West', does it??

High Noon.

There's a bunch of them for me,but one that I really liked was Silverado

Wait! I thought of one!

Young Guns!

It does, but we walled it off and called it Wales.

Pretty much anything by Clint Eastwood although I seem to have seen "The Outlaw Josey Wales" the most. I liked, "Tombstone", "The Long Riders" and numerous old westerns.

Pale Rider

The man who shot Liberty Valance

All the Spaghetti Westerns

paint your wagon

Too many to list - these are just a few of my faves!

G

All of them.

Mainly 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'.

The rest of the spaghettis..Unforgiven, some of the old John Wayne films...

hands down, Tombstone! Val kilmer was awesome as doc holiday!

runner up, UNforgiven there wa sjust something cool about the normal "white hat" hero Clint eastwood blowing away an unarmed Gene Hackman.

YES!!! I freaken loved that movie! They ushered in the return of the modern western with that and Pale Rider. Unforgiven was awesome too. Young Guns I & II, Dances with Wolves, and Tombstone. Wyatt Earp was well done, but too long and a tad boring in places. Another modern favorite - Quigley Down Under.

Anything with John Wayne but especially True Grit and Rooster Cogburn. Louis L'amour books make awesome movies.

Butch and Sundance - another favorite.

The only really bad spaghetti western I remember was 'My Name is Trinity.' Whatta bizzare movie.

Oh, and nobody's mentioned Blazing Saddles. Just watched that a few nights ago... hilarious still.

What can I say? We had no TV for 15 months while I was in Turkey, so we rented 8-10 movies a week instead of bar-hopping every night... not that we didn't get our fill of bar-hopping mind you, just not every night.

Another modern favorite - Quigley Down Under. That and Tombstone, agree completely. I thought Val Kilmer was at his best in this one. That and Thunderheart ??? with Graham Greene about an FBI agent up in South Dakota.
Quigley Down Under was awesome. Alan Rickman makes a superlative bad guy. Awesome.

What about Young Guns II?

I don't think I could really begin to list the westerns that I like. They are too numerous.

Quigley Down Under and Silverado were great westerns.
