Movies that just missed my top 10

Hang Em High
Unforgiven-It didn't make my top 10 as I think it's clearly the worst of Clints westerns.
The Quick & The Dead with Sam Elliot
The Shadow Riders with Tom Selleck & Sam Elliot.


As you all can probably tell from my list I'm a huge fan of Clint Eastwoods westerns. As he's clearly the best western movie star of all time IMO. John Wayne can't hold a candle to him. Awaits the flames that are sure to come!

Havent seen many westerns but I have many on my to-see-list..
My fav western is definetily "Once Upon A Time In the West" followed by "The Good The Bad And The Ugly". But its too early to make a top 10 western list...

Don't know about an actual top 10 but my top 2 would definitely be
The Wild Bunch & Once Upon A Time In The West!

The Wild Bunch rates as one of my favourite movies ever!

MaryCas once corrected me that The Last of the Mohicans was technically, if such a thing exists, an "Eastern", in that it was set on the East coast.

Here goes:

The Ox-Bow Incident (1943/William A. Wellman)
My Darling Clementine (1946/John Ford)
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968/Sergio Leone)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966/Sergio Leone)
High Noon (1952/Fred Zinnerman)
Unforgiven (1992/Clint Eastwood)

Shane
Unforgiven
Last Picture Show
Wild Bunch
Hombre!
Hud

Ive only ever seen one

Rio Bravo

Silverado -- Good flick...entertaining and generally underrated.

Have you seen any Clint Eastwood westerns that you liked SC?

Anyway, it's sad how Westerns are really dying. The last good western was Open Range.

Sure. Two that come to mind now are "Unforgiven" (a wonderful movie) and "The Outlaw Josie Wales". I'm not really a fan of the spaghetti westerns, though.

I agree with you that its too bad that they're not making good westerns anymore. Aside from all the great westerns made in the 40's and 50's I grew up with them on television. Back in the late 50's/early 60's there were a ton of them being televised. Every network (all 3 of them) had some on and every night of the week was covered.

I guess they went out of vogue.

Tombstone
Pale Rider
Young Guns
The Westerner

And I love old 'b' westerns from the 30's and 40's by Roy Rogers, GEne Autry, Buck Jones, 3 Mesquiteers and others. Even John Wayne made some really campy b westerns in the 30's.

There is something about seeing Roy and the boys chasing the bad guys on horses and Dale Evans rides through the middle of them all in a 1947 Plymouth.

Same here. It's my favorite..
