WESTERNS

[el_cuervo_fc]

True Grit is a favourite for me.  Roosters line "fill your hands you son of a bitch"  lives long in the memory 

[Candyman]

Debbie does Dallas

Part 16...

The Searchers is the best Western movie ever made

Not even close to the best.

At least I offered one up for discussion

[Hardy]

A one-legged cowboy goes into a bar.
-  "I'm here to inspect your whiskey", he says.
"In what capacity are you here?", asks the barman.
- "Hopalong Capacity".

(The coat should be given to the original perpetrator who, to be fair, was drunk)

[Billys Boots]

Bad Day at Black Rock - just brilliant.

[Lecale2]

A mate of mine loves Paint Your Wagons. Watches it over and over again. I don't get.

Pale Riders was a good show.

[Denn Forever]

Westerns are films about Good vs Evil.  What more do you want?

For me its Rio Bravo

Or Rio Bravo remade with most of the same people but by a different name which I can't remember?

[Main Street]

Jack Palance was pure evil.

High Noon is regarded as the best western.
My favourite is the original 3.10 to Yuma

[Windmill abu]

I've always liked Jimmy Stewart acting in westerns, "Shenandoah" and "Where the river Bends" being my favourites.

Of the more recent westerns "Wyatt Earp" and "Unforgiven" are probably the best

Agree that the original 3.10 from Yuma was a classic

[ziggysego]

City Slickers or Wild Wild West, two of the classics.

Good and all as they were, the big problem I had with Clint is that he's invulnerable (thus predictable) in all his films, he never seems to get shot or suffer serious injury in any film, (save The Beguiled if memory serves). Didn't like Unforgiven as it was a bit too revisionist; on the other hand, The Good The Bad & The Ugly was very good (and also subtly anti-war). Leone's Once Upon A Time In The West (though long) was perhaps the best of the Spaghettis.

Usually liked John Waynes westerns for sheer entertainment value (see The War Wagon for e.g.) Don't agree the The Searchers was the best western made (people foolishly giving heed to Scorcese seem to think it is) - much prefer Shane or My Darling Clementine. Honourable mentions to Gunfight At The Ok Corral, The Magnificent Seven, Red River and Dodge City.

I always liked 'Young Guns'.  Thought it was pretty well done

[Longshanks]

I thought the remake of 3:10 to Yuma was very well done, well worth a watch

[Hardy]

'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'.

[INDIANA]

the josey whales series was a classic you'd have to be  a complete movie philistine not to appreciate it. and its much better than some of the hollywood cack thats around today.
