Great Western Movies

[ernest_t_bass 1196]

Finally got around to watching Once Upon a Time in the West.  Out-Fucking-Standing.  Sergio Leone is boss.   Love Fist Full of Dollars, Few Dollars More, GB&U.  Good shit.

 

Good Great westerns?

Unforgiven

"Yeah well, a lot of folks did call him 'Two-Gun' but that wasn't because he was sporting two pistols. That was because he had a dick that was so big it was longer than the barrel of that Walker Colt that he carried. And the only "insultin' to a lady" he ever did was to stick that thing of his into this French lady that Bob here was kind of sweet on."

Ride the High Country. Written (uncredited) and directed by Sam Peckinpah. Starring Joel McCrea and Randolph Scott.

 

A man ought to enter his house justified.

And now you understand. Anything goes wrong, anything at all... your fault, my fault, nobody's fault... it won't matter - I'm gonna blow your head off. No matter what else happens, no matter who gets killed I'm gonna blow your head off.

Named my first son after this character.  Wife dug her heels in on "Edwards" as his middle name.  Wanted to name the next one "Aaron" but thought it might be bad luck.

[Macanudo 12649]

Unforgiven is a truly great movie regardless of genre.

I have always thought  The Sons of Katie Elder was a very underrated movie.

Great movie.

[lateshow 1303]

Since some of my favorites have already been listed, I'll add:

True Grit (both)

Rio Bravo

Appaloosa

Sons of Katie Elder (I was typing this as the previous two posts were being made. Great movie.)

[Macanudo 12649]

And this might be blasphemy to some but I think John Elder was Wayne's best role.   

Of course it was the standard John Wayne playing John Wayne.

 

 

[Uncle Nate 2097]

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

If miniseries count, then of course you have to include Lonesome Dove.

[kopp0e 1135]

Hidalgo, while not a traditional shoot 'em up Cowboy movie; I have always been partial to this film as I would watch while visiting with my mom in Oklahoma before she passed...

[The Maestro 741]

Does this count?

 

[The Maestro 741]

Seriously though, The Great Silence.  Great movie, incredible soundtrack/score.

 

 

[ohchaucer 1443]

Um, Young Guns and Young Guns II.

Unforgiven is one of my all-time favorite movies, period. 

[Uncle Nate 2097]

Would you consider "Giant" a western?  

I'm never sure it qualifies, mainly because it's set in the 20th century and the only shooting that takes place is when Bic shoots a rattlesnake.  I always categorized it as "Texas Epic"...a classification all its own.

[RandomIdoit 655]

Tombstone

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Magnificent Seven (original one)

Pale Rider

A Fistful of Dollars

[strangulation! 1694]

no country for old men

[Brothahorn 10079]

Da hell, gentlemen?

No Audie Murphy movies? The Texican w/ Broderick Crawford and Ride a Crooked Trail.

I'll add Seven Men from Now and Coroner Creek both with Randolph Scott.

And you can't take great westerns without mentioning Fort Apache(Fonda/Wayne) and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.

John Wayne's The Cowboys.

"I regret trifling with married women. I'm thoroughly ashamed at cheating at cards. I deplore my occasional departures from the truth. Forgive me for taking your name in vain, my Saturday drunkenness, my Sunday sloth. Above all, forgive me for the men I've killed in anger....................................................and those I am about to."

Great flick. One of the first movies I have a memory of watching with my dad.

not a western.  Just because there are cowboy boots, horse and cactus that don't make it a western.

[deadshank 24644]

Bad ass.  

[Constant 6524]

 

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4956]

The Assination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

 

Also, El Dorado, mainly because I used to watch it with my grandad when I was younger.

[Dilligas 647]

Yeah it’s gonna pretty unsettling watching each Howard being with the others woman but I’m definitely looking forward to it. JK Simmons amazes me, first time I remember seeing him was in OZ and that performance was unsettling to say the least.

[DougO 5223]

Just because it hasn't been mentioned yet, The Man From Laramie, The Naked Spur, and all the James Stewart westerns directed by Anthony Mann.

[Fondren & Main 6548]

Hombre is fanfuckingtastic.

Unforgiven sucks fucking ass.  Fuck that movie.

[cactusflinthead 26791]

Comedic westerns are underrated. Scalphunters is a stop down for me.

Evil Roy Slade

Yeah, I get the gritty hard bit ones too. The Professionals is one that hasn't been mentioned so far. 

But the drunken gunfighter won Lee Marvin an Oscar. 

 

 

[Texas007 195]

I am such a big fan of Eastwood's westerns. A handful of fantastic ones I didn't see mentioned yet:

1. Two Mules for Sister Sara
2. Hang 'Em High
3. Joe Kidd
4. High Plains Drifter (my personnel favorite)
5. Pale Rider

[mbtex 683]

Have not seen Winchester 73 mentioned.

Winchester '73 is a great movie. Liked all the Westerns that Jimmy Stewart was in.

Mega bonus points for Evil Roy Slade.  John Astin is pure genius in that movie.

 

The professionals was also greatness.

Wild Bunch was amazing. When you look at how bloody it was, making it was extremely risky for some in that cast, especially given where some of those guys were at in their careers. 

[atomheartbevo 88750]

Speaking of risky, at least for Fonda, my favorite was already listed.
