Super User Redlinerobert Posted March 21, 2007 Super User Posted March 21, 2007 I dig westerns. It would be hard for me to just pick one though. My top three would have to be Tombstone, The Magnificent Seven and Winchester '73. Quote
eastkybass Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I like Tombsone I also enjoy some of the older ones like El Derado(spelling) with John Wayne. My Dad is really into them and got me into them when I was young. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted March 21, 2007 Super User Posted March 21, 2007 Not a big westerns fan but a few that come to mind are, in no particular order Outlaw Josey Wales The Longriders Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Quote
frogtog Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 How about Texas Across The River, This show was goooood. Stared Dean Martin And Up Hill All The Way, Staring Roy Clark and Mel Tellis. ;D Quote

Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted March 21, 2007 Super User Posted March 21, 2007 Dances With Wolves Lonesome Dove Open Range Tombstone Wyatt Earp Falcon Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Gunsmoke was good. Better than the Lone Ranger anyway. Quote
Fisher of Men Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 "I got two guns, one fa each of ya!" I like Tombstone, probably followed by The Sacketts/Conagher tied, then Lonesome Dove. Now that I think about it, Open Range might rank second. It was a pretty darn good movie (probably one of the best shoot-outs ever at the end of it). Some of you have listed Wyatt Earp, but I found it a bit drawn out more than Tombstone. Maybe if I had watched Wyatt Earp first. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted March 21, 2007 Author Super User Posted March 21, 2007 Sounds like I need to see Open Range. Quote
Rose_Jackets67 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 My number one is Pale Rider. Others I enjoy are The Outlaw Josey Wales, Jeremiah Johnson, and Lonesome Dove 'My wife is in Hell where I sent her. She made good biscuits, but her behavior was terrible.' - Po Campo adam Quote
tallydude Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 You guys are forgetting about Sergio Leone's classic, "One Upon a Time in the West" Also, "The Wild Bunch" by Peckinpah, a movie 30 years ahead of its time in terms of direction. "The Shootist" is my favorite John Wayne movie, while "Tombstone" is my favorite modern western. Quote
tallydude Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 In regards to "Jeremiah Johnson", it is one of my top 5 favorite movies ever. I love Pollack's direction in this movie. It reminds me alot of the John Ford films in reagrd to its use of scenery. It was filmed almost in its entirety on Redford's property. But I really don't consider it a western. More of an adventure movie, I'd say. Quote
The Unabasser Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 forgot about Jeremiah Johnson...def one of the top of all time...hasn't been on in forever...hmmmm...maybe a quick search on half * for a cheap dvd copy is in order btw...my youngest's name is Jeremiah....guess what his last name is? Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 1)Open Range 2)High Plains Drifter 3)Unforgiven 4)Pale Rider 5)The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly Quote
Super User senile1 Posted March 22, 2007 Super User Posted March 22, 2007 Great movies mentioned by everyone. I love any Sergio Leonne or Clint Eastwood westerns. "Open Range" is great. My top western would have to be "Dances With Wolves." Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted March 22, 2007 Super User Posted March 22, 2007 Anything with Clint Eastwood. Unforgiven is probably my favorite. Quote
justfishin Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I loved all the John Wayne, Clint Eastwood , Henry Fonda westerns. In fact I love all the westerns. I would have to say I really liked The Cowboys , The Shootist, Outlaw Josie Wales, Rooster Cogburn ..... they are all classics in there own way. I guess the days of good westerns and the bigger than life heros are over, sad. :'( Quote
stroz Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Westerns are my favorite genre. Lonesome Dove Tombstone Unforgiven Wild Bunch Dead Mans Walk Open range Like you all said theres just to many to name. I'll be psyched to see that new Brad Pitt flick about Jesse James should be a good big budget western.I also saw one last year that was new called PROPOSITION it was good about the australian west preety bloody I recommend it if you like westerns that is Stroz Quote
Panamoka_Bassin Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Not that I get too into them anymore, but my dad would watch every western that was on TV when we were growing up, and since we only had the one tv, well, I watched alot of westerns too. My faves? (I'm kinda dissappointed some of these haven't been mentioned yet...) 1) High Noon 2) McClintock 3) She Wore a Yellow Ribbon 4) The Sons of Katie Elder 5) The Magnificent Seven 6) Pale Rider 7) Tombstone 8) Unforgiven 9) Hang 'em High 10) El Dorado Quote
