Best Western Movie Ever Made
Dec 22nd, 2008
I love westerns, and I don't know if this counts, but I have the complete
lonesome dove mini series, and we watch it in it's entirety at least every
two years.
I love it. I have the tv series as well, but mini series group was better.
And, many others.
Big Country, Gregory Peck
Unforgiven, Clint Eastwood, and I could go on and on.

and james dean, a blockbuster, filmed in texas.
Shendanoah,(jimmy stewart), Red River, (John Wayne, Montgomery Cliff), they
are old but very good.
How about Open Range, Robert Duval, Keven Costner) a new one, and very good.

. The buildings weren't facades, they were the actual locations, the inside shots weren't filmed on a sound stage.I love a good duster, The Outlaw Josey Wales and High Noon immediately come to mind, but there are so many others.

All the westerns directed by Anthony Mann (usually starring James Stewart): Winchester 73, Bend of the River, The Naked Spur, The Far Country, The Man From Laramie. Not as well known as some others but all excellent.

Tombstone - best western ever, bar none. Saw it at least six times. Val Kilmor as Doc Holiday was brilliant.

Unforgiven, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, Hang 'em High, A Fistful of Dollars, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider. All great movies that I enjoy a lot.
How come no one has mentioned Young Guns?

How the west was won, paint your wagon, who shot liberty valance, oldies.
the cowboys, john wayne, and many other john wayne westerns, saw most
of them, liked them all, except maybe a few very old ones.

A while back I picked up a couple of multi-packs from Wal-Mart that contained a bunch of Western movies(I got them both for $10!)
The movies in the first pack are:
1. Pancho Villa
2. Navajo Joe
3. A Town Called Hell
4. Eagle's Wing
In the second pack there was:
1. Beyond The Law
2. Death Rides A Horse
3. God's Gun
4. Cry Blood Apache
I have yet to see them yet, so I do not know if they are any good or not. However, 8 movies for $10 is a pretty good deal!

I just got to thinking nobody has mentioned "North to Alaska"- surely that has to be one of the greatest westerns of all times.

The Outlaw Josey Wales is a great one...........I myself constantly 'endeavour to persevere", as Dan George's tribe was instructed to do.......
Lately? Open Range was a good one.......Robert Duvall carried a Remington single action revolver in that one.......interesting
The re-make of 3:10 to Yuma was okay, what-iz-name plays a evil, evil man so well.........Spencer rifles and S&W Schofield revolvers in that one.....
The modern ones, oddly enough, seem to have moved away from the standard Colt SAA and Winchester. I like that.
You know you're a gun nut when.......

Marlin Brando, when he was young, and very handsome, good movie.
He was also is one when he was old, forgot the name, but it was also good.
Maybe someone knows the title.
Just watched 'ride with the devil' the other night, good movie, but a weak
ending, forget the stars name, but he is a good actor, quite new, oh, I
know, Toby McGuire.

I just don't understand why hollywood can't make westerns these days as good as some of those mentioned in this thread. I love the old westerns.

All Quiet on The Western Front. I hate westerns except when the injuns massacre everyone of the dirt farmers right down to the cattle. No movie genre is more full of **** than the American western.

review of the attack at 'wounded knee', it is a long mini series, and lets us
all know of the miserable behavior of the white men, at that time and place.
It is done in a realistic manner, complete with the native language, and
lifestyle, and I will watch it over, every year or so.
