WESTERNS

[passedit]

'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' is one of my favourites. Lee Marvin plays the best baddie ever - until Javier Bardem showed up in 'No Country For Old Men'.

Good call Hardy, also No country is classic western, albeit with the baddie riding off into the sunset.

Unforgiven staring Clint is probably the best western

I loved Tombstone, and I like a lot of the older ones as well.

When I lived in Arizona, I used to bring visitors down to the Old Tucson Movie Studios, it was amazing how 'familiar' it seemed when you walked around, or into the saloon or 'bank' etc. I'd say it's used in a tonne of those older Westerns.

the good the bad and the ugly - best western ever made

unforgiven - close second

John Wayne was definitely a hero of mine growing up - Sons of Katie Elder, True Grit and Rio Bravo were three of my favourites.  But old Clint has the title for me

[Canalman]

Great thread lads.

My fave Western of all is The Outlaw Josey Whales closely followed by They Died with their Boots On with Erroll Flynn which I  loved as a kid and stiil can't outgrow for some reason.

I don't know if Bad day at Blackrock is strictly a Western but it is a class movie with imo an amazing cast, Tracy, Borgnoine, Marvin, Ryan  etc. A great film for the rainy Sunday.

JUst watched True Grit, great movie.

Rooster: When's the last time you saw Ned Pepper?
Quincy: I don't remember any Ned Pepper.
Rooster: Short feisty fella, nervous and quick, got a messed-up lower lip.
Quincy: That don't bring nobody to mind. A funny lip?
Rooster: Wasn't always like that, I shot him in it.
Quincy: In the lower lip? What was you aiming at?
Rooster: His upper lip.

High Noon

Best western, and not a kick in the arse off best film, ever made

JUst watched True Grit, great movie.

Great movie...added bonus of having one of my heroes Glen Campbell in it...even though he's a shite actor

Hang em and Hang em high is a cracker too.

I love Westerns. In no particular order

Stagecoach (The original John Wayne version - not the Bing Crosby version)
The Searchers
Once Upon a Time in the West
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Dodge City (Errol Flynn version)
The Three Amigos

[Tony Baloney]

The Outlaw Josey Wales is sure class. Love it when he spits a big baccy loaded gob onto the carpet bagger's nice white suit! Some of the modern takes on the Western haven't been bad. Unforgiven is already a classic and I even have a soft spot for Dancing with Wolves and Open Range.
