My fav western film has to be-The Good The Bad And The Ugly.

The film is just amazing from the story,soundtrack,scenery and the cool acting of Clint Eastwood and also the stand at the end of the film is probably the greatest ending to any film ever made..




The good the bad and the ugly

Its one of those films that you have to watch before you die..

I haven't seen many westerns, but Unforgiven is certainly an outstanding movie, one of my favorites not just from the western genre but in general.

I'm not a big western fan myself. I remember way back seeing "High Noon" with Gary Cooper (with my family) which was good. I remember seeing Roy Rogers, Hop-a-Long Cassidy on tv.

However, if I had to pick a western though, I'd probably go with "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" too. I also liked Eastwood's "Hang 'Em High" and if you call it part of the Western genre, I'd even prefer Eastwood's "The Beguiled". Not many will agree with me, but I really liked the movie. smile

Pale Rider
Posse
Open Range
Once Upon a Time in the West
Shane
Tombstone
The Way of the Gun (a sort of modern western)

My favorite is probably "Open Range"..., more for Duvall than Costner.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

I've always liked "The Quick and the Dead" with Leonardo DiCaprio, Gene Hackman, Sharon Stone and Russell Crowe. I thought the cast was very good and the eventual reveal of why "Lady" had come to town was interesting enough. And nobody can play evil like Gene Hackman.

I love most of John Wayne westerns. Rio Bravo is my favorite. Other westerns:

Once Upon A Time In The West
Lonesome Dove
Open Range
Broken Trail

I'm sure there are others I can't think of now.

Clint's westerns are ok to.

One neglected western is The Big Country with Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives, and Jeam Simmons. Great performances, the eastern comes west theme, and a rousing score.

"Shane," followed by "Unforgiven," "Hombre," and "Once Upon a Time in the West."

The Outlaw Josey Wales and Little Big Man, mostly because of Chief Dan George....."My heart soars like a hawk".

Butch Cassidy....and Dances With Wolves....the modern era of Westerns.

I don't really have a favorite western but do have a preference for Once Upon A Time In America and The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. Ennio Morricone.

How about My Darling Clementine? The Searchers? Ride The High Country? The Last Train From Gun Hill? Posse (original directed by Kirk Douglas)? The Great Silence?

great movie


I finally got round to watching this movie after owning it on DVD for a couple of years, was a great film, Newman and Redford made a great pairing. I especially liked the chase in the movie.

8/10

John Wayne made some really interesting later Westerns, like El Dorado, True Grit, The Cowboys, and The Shootist. John Ford directed Wayne and Henry Fonda in Fort Apache.

Lonesome Dove is tremendous. The novel by Larry McMurtry is also great. McMurtry's original idea was that it would be a screenplay for Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Henry Fonda, but Wayne dropped out.

There are three John Wayne MUST-SEE westerns.

"Stagecoach", his first major role is a story that is for the ages. A WONDERFUL cast.

"The Searchers", from the mid '50s, it shows how good a actor Wayne was really was.

"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is my personal Wayne favorite and my favorite western.
