Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 what are some good titles from this list? http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/media/lists/westerns.php Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 Pale Rider The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Once Upon a Time in the West High Plains Drifter Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 Many good ones. My quick picks: Lonesome Dove The Outlaw Josey Wales Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Unforgiven Blazing Saddles (watch after Unforgiven-it is not real happy movie) FWIW Lonesome Dove is my favorite western of all time.

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 9, 2011 Author Super User Posted February 9, 2011 pale rider looks pretty good, definitely gonna check that one out Quote
fishermantony Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Unforgiven! My wife had to pick a western to watch in Film class, I helped her pick this one, we watched it and I helped her write her paper and the teacher was blown away. Ha Ha. Quote

jeremyt Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I personally am a fan of anything with Clint Eastwood. There is one film that I love that wasn't on there that I am particulat to. The son's of Katie Elder (spelling) with John Wayne. I love that movie. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 High Noon, if you like old school. Quote
lynyrdsky1 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Stagecoach Red River Winchester 73 Shanandoah The Three Godfathers Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Magnificent Seven with Steve McQueen The Searchers The Wild Bunch The Ox-Bow Incident Cheyenne Autumn THe Man Who Shot Liberty Valence Hondo Rio Bravo The Cowboys These are all classics. The more action oriented will be the Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy, Cowboys, and the Searchers. Try Two Rode Together, Duel at Diablo, and the Comancheros. These weren't on the list but great movies. Any on the list that have John Wayne are great westerns, but the best ones with John Wayne are The Searchers, Red River, and Rio Bravo. Note: Treasuer of the Sierra Madre really isnt a western. Sorry to get technical, but just wanted to point that out. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 If you haven't seen the Deadwood series, you're missing out. It is definitely NOT for the easily offended. Also, Tombstone should be on the list. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 3:10 To Yuma is OUTSTANDING! 8-) Quote
GrundleLove Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 True Grit. The new one, not the old one. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. The Searchers. Dances With Wolves. High Noon. The Outlaw Jose Wales. The Ox-Bow Incident. Paint Your Wagon. Quote
zero limit Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Viva Zapata. True story based on the Mexician Revolution Good movie for being 1952, Marlon Brando & Anthony Quinn Quote
Skunked in DR Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 The Sergio Leone "spaghetti western" trilogy Fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is excellent. Others that are not exactly westerns but influenced westerns heavilythat are worth checking out would be the Kurosawa "Samurai" films. Start with The Seven Samurai and then watch the Magnificent Seven. Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 They are all good. Start at the top of the list and work your way down. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 9, 2011 Author Super User Posted February 9, 2011 They are all good. Start at the top of the list and work your way down. haha i don't know that i've got time for that! i have many of these on DVD already, like the man with no name trilogy, outlaw josey wales, dances with wolves, the cowboys, 3:10 yuma, unforigven, blazing saddles, i wish tombstone was on the list, i really want to see that one Quote
VABassin'14 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 The Magnificent Seven or Unforgiven. Both are great. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted February 10, 2011 Super User Posted February 10, 2011 The Wild Bunch. If you like graphic violence, this one is for you. Awesome cast. Several Oscar nominations and controversial when released for the violence. Ernest Borgnine is a tough guy's tough guy. Can't go wrong with any of the Clint flicks. Tossup between Outlaw Josey Wales and Unforgiven. Quote

lynyrdsky1 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I know this isn't on the list, but Jerimiah Johnson has to be one of the best westerns I have ever seen. Quote
