Best Western Movie Ever Made....
- Thread starter scratch
- Start date
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.

timely thread for me, as I've just recently started watching westerns for the first time. keep the titles coming!
I like all of the above, and how about' GIANT', with elizabeth taylor, rock hudson,
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.

I think that's my wife's favourite, I think mine was "Ice Palace"- Robert Ryan and Richard Burton, second would be Big Country with Gregory Peck. (I guess "Ice Palace" would qualify as a western.)
I loved the Lonesome Dove tv series, I mentioned this to a co-worker once, since he lived in Bragg Creek near where it was filmed and he showed me pictures of himself on the set, he worked there part time as a wrangler, (and says he appeared as an extra as well but this was after the series ended and I haven't seen an episode since to verify it), but no, I'm not jealous :angry3:. 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.
James Stewart was excellent in his westerns, so convincing and natural.
And clint eastwood too, but don't like the spghetti westerns, the music
and the staring get to me, but clint is clint, no one better.
Tombstone - best western ever, bar none. Saw it at least six times. Val Kilmor as Doc Holiday was brilliant.
great movie, and yes, val kilmor was brilliant.
Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner also very good
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?;-):lol:

I saw that one, very good.( wasn't there two?)
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.
Yes, there were two Young Guns movies. I thought they were entertaining movies, but they were not classics like the ones mentioned in the thread so far.:smile:
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.......
