Winchester '73.  The original with Jimmy Stewart.  Others come close, but that movie for me is tops.

That was a good one.

Would love to have an actual 1 of 1000.  But they cost as much as a house now.

TV:  Paladin, Lone Ranger

 

Movies: True Grit original  " Backwards.....I always go backwards when I'm backin' up "

My favorite Josey wales quotes.

• " buzzards gotta eat , same as worms "

• " How's it with stains ? "

• " well , Mr carpetbagger , we got something in these parts called the Missouri boat ride "

•  "You gonna pull them pistols or whistle Dixie ? "

• "  Dying ain't much of a living boy "

Said I didn't have much use for 'em, never said I didn't know how to use 'em.

Oh yeah. That's on the list! All his westerns were good.esp. that one.

[edfitzvb]

Movies:

1. Unforgiven a true triumph, and loaded with talented actors

2. Big Jake (close second)

3. The Outlaw Josie Wales (no slow moments)

4. True Grit (liked both versions equally well)

 

Television:

Maverick a completely different and unique western series

Wagon Train and Rawhide both played well when I was young, not so much when I see them today

[jbmaine]

Shane, Searchers, Tombstone, Hondo

[ThatredneckguyJamie]

Man you guys have mentioned some great ones! I might have to see if the kids will let me use Netflix long enough to watch some of these again lol

[N Florida Mike]

I don't think the Good, the Bad , and the Ugly was mentioned yet. The dialogue is great but it had too many slow spots . Still, a great. 

Favorite line is when Tuco is trying to read the addressed note to "idiot " Clint grabs it , takes a look , and says " Idiot " Its for you." And the famous music starts...

[RPreeb]

One of my favorites, one which for some reason is rarely shown on TV, is The Cheyenne Social Club with James Stewart and Henry Fonda.  The interaction between those two old fashioned cowboys cracks me up every time. 

 

Also loved Josie Wales... Chief Dan George was a hoot. 

 

Most by Clint Eastwood and John Wayne.  The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is a good story too.

 

Cat Ballou - Lee Marvin and his horse put on an Oscar winning performance.

[Burtonxj]

My favorites are Tombstone, True Grit, and 3:10 to Yuma.

 

 

[38 Super Fan]

The Searchers and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly are a cut above the rest for me. True film masterpieces.

[long island basser]

A lot of good movies already mentioned.

one that hasn’t been talked about or was hyped much back in 2003 starring Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner called- Open Range- is worth checking out.

[Catt]

For a good laugh. ?

Mountainman83 Your name reminded me of Jeremiah Johnson , which is another of my favorites.

My wife and me watched Once upon a time in the West and didn't like it at all. About half way through I attempted to bail out and quit, ( I never bail on westerns ) but my wife said that , since we already saw half of it , we might as well finish it. It had several heavyweight western actors but had really nothing to offer but endless dialogue and little to no action. No offence if it's one of your favorites , it even had high reviews . The things that appeal to me in a western are : Good people fighting against evil , authentic, realistic , and believable characters, Lots of action, with good dialogue , and beautiful scenery.

I just didn't see any of that in that movie.

Now, the Outlaw Josey Wales- whole different story.

[N Florida Mike]

What's the movie with Clint Eastwood and Robert Duvall. It's Robert Duvals' gang against some Mexicans. Clint Eastwood rides with them but turns to the Mexicans side. It's the one where he hits the guy with the shovel who thought he was so tuff.

The Sackett TV Movies were all good too, with Tom selleck.

[Chris at Tech]

I do enjoy a good western omelet...

I love a lot of old Westerns, but if you can count the more recent "No Country for Old Men" as a western it's one of the better movies you'll ever see.

Yeah, Tommie Lee Jones is one of my fav. Actors. That movie held my interest for sure. Kind of reminded me of terminator.No matter where that cowboy went with the money, he was tracked down.

One of my fav. Westerns with TL Jones was the Good old boys , with Sissy spacek.Its about the fading cowboy lifestyle at the early 1900s.

[Subaqua Adinterim]

I love the classics.  The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence is one of the best.  Also, if you're into real old classics; The Ox Bow Incident is another one to check out.

I know these have real sparse settings and no special effects, however, the stories and acting are fantastic and these are unforgettable movies.

Also, just remembered Little Big Man which is comparatively newer than the other 2 mentioned, was a good one as well that had some parts that were quite funny.
