First off, I hope I posted this in the right place.

Well, I just saw Once Upon a Time in the West and all I have to say is "WOW". Now that's a masterpiece. I can't believe I've never heard of this movie before. So far I love all of Sergio Leone's movies. The man just knows how to make movies!!!

Anyways, I need some dvd recommendations for more westerns. I'm looking for movies in the same "style" as OUATITW. The cinematography and music are great in this movie.

These are the ones that I own:

Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Fistful of Dollars
Few Dollars More
Magnificent Seven
Unforgiven
Once Upon a Time in the West
Tombstone
Butch Cassidy

I just read a post about another Sergio Leone movie Fistful of Dynamite, so I'll pick that one up as soon as its released in Region 1. Never seen that one either. Are there any others that I'm missing?

Thanks,
Steve

pick up the collections...Once Upon A Time In Italy and The Spaghetti Western Collection. TSWC is from Blue Underground and contains the gem, Django...which is a must have. these 2 sets will give you alot of film and some essential adds for your collection. my personal fave...The Great Silence...should be in every fans library. do some research on that and the above sets and see what you think.

or you can just pick up the re-release of Django all by itself. it comes with a cool bonus mini-disc and is essential for Franco Nero fans.

Thanks The Great Silence looks interesting as does Django (too bad it doesn't have a Morricone score).

Two more dvds to add to my ever-growing want list

In addition to what Gut mentioned

Companeros
Run Man Run!
A Bullet For The General
Keoma
Day Of Anger

I would really check out thoes two boxsets becuase they both contain many great films.

Also The Wild Bunch is a must!

Personally, I really love John Wayne movies. My top two picks are Rio Bravo (RB) and the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (MWSLV). RB has beautiful cinematography, the cast is excellent (Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Walter Brennan, Angie Dickinson, and Ward Bond do a great job), and the music is really good (especially the Nelson/Martin duets).

MWSLV has a much more serious tone, and is especially notable for the fine acting from Jimmy Stewart and Wayne.

Hign Noon, Red River, and The Searchers are a few of my favorites.

Rio Bravo
My Darling Clementine
The Searchers
The Wild Bunch

really, anything by John Ford is gonna be worth your while.

Stagecoach
Silverado
Blazing... nah... you can pass on that one

Shane
Lawman
The Professionals
El Dorado
Hang 'em High

Thanks for all the recommendations I've seen most of the well-known ones (Shane, Hang Em High, etc.) and plan to pick those up in the future.

Are there any really good Lee Van Cleef movies out there? Besides the Man with No Name trilogy.

Day of Anger is a great Lee Van Cleef western.

agreed...worth searching out.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Surprised to not see mentioned yet is Open Range. Although not necessarily a classic by any means, but it has one of the best looking and sounding town shoot-outs in any Western I've ever seen.

The James Stewart-Anthony Mann pairings "Winchester 73" and "The Naked Spur" are two gems that all western fans should own. Also, check out "Pale Rider" starring and directed by Clint Eastwood.

Agreed! This movie is excellent, if you can get over the Coster love interest thing.

Rio Lobo is horrible, but worth a look.

I'm not a fan of Westerns but I love Young Guns and Young Guns II. I reccomend them.

Two Mules for Sister Sara

Pro-B

Lonesome Dove mini-series on dvd.

I second High noon. It is a classic and you can get it cheap.

you can get it for 6.37 at deepdiscountdvd now on sale with the 20% coupon
