Favorite Western?
 

I really like a good western. From the old to the new. If done well, it could be a great damn picture.

I just finished Tombstone and damn if that’s not entertainment.

But, I think my all time fav, though haven’t watched in forever is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. That just blew me away. It was style, it was amazing. Clint really had a flare, but the entire 3 hour affair is truly a masterpiece of cinema.

Not a big western fan like my dad so I'll say Back to the Future III.

Re: Favorite Western?
 

That’s not bad. Wouldn’t have pegged as a Western, but I guess it would be considered like a sci-fi Western.

Re: Favorite Western?
 

Oh so a movie isn't allowed to be more than one genre? No rom-coms? No horror-comedy? That's very narrow minded. It was never stated as such in the OP.

The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve learned to enjoy westerns.

Tombstone is entertaining as all hell. It’s also got a lot of great lines. I always seem to catch a different great line of dialogue with every re-watch.

Unforgiven is probably the BEST western I’ve ever seen. It’s just masterful from beginning to end. Add in its place along the timeline of Eastwood westerns and it’s just that much more iconic.

Second best would go to Open Range. It feels like the most realistic western out there. It feels totally authentic from beginning to end.

As a kid, I used to love Silverado. I’m not sure it still holds up quite as well now but it’s still a fun movie.

I much prefer Eastwood westerns over John Wayne westerns. To me, there just aren’t that many enjoyable Wayne westerns. He always comes off like an asshole in his movies.

Recently, The Harder They Fall blew me away. Seen twice already.

Re: Favorite Western?
 

are you serious? I was agreeing with you. How was that not clear?

Re: Favorite Western?
 

The Proposition with Guy Pearce was great. Loved Seraphim Falls (one that hardly gets mentioned) and Silverado. Another fav of mine is The Wild Bunch and more recent 3:10 to Yuma. With Bale and Crowe.

Re: Favorite Western?
 

Which is the preferred version of TGtBatU? Theatrical or extended?

These are all awesome movies! I haven’t seen The Salvation yet though.

Re: Favorite Western?
 

The Good The Bad And The Ugly (Theatrical Cut)
Once Upon A Time In The West
The Wild Bunch
High Plains Drifter
Outlaw Josey Wales
Unforgiven
A Fistful Of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More

Unforgiven.

But a close second is Rio Bravo. See it for the outstanding performance by Dean Martin.

The Hired Hand

Re: Favorite Western?
 

The Salvation with Mads Mikkelsen is a great one too. Love him.

Movie-wise (Deadwood: The Movie notwithstanding) I'd have to go with Tombstone, Unforgiven, Desperado, The Quick And The Dead, and Three Amigos.

Re: Favorite Western?
 

There’s a pretty fantastic limited series called Godless. It’s on Netflix if anyone wants to check it out.

Re: Favorite Western?
 

Godless is fucking fantastic.

Re: Favorite Western?
 

I feel like we did this already not that long ago, but no matter. I need to balance the thread out with some pre-60's picks:

Stagecoach
Wagon Master
Man of the West
Winchester '73
The Gunfighter
The Tall T

Uh, I love westerns.
