Fav western films

take me forever to list my favs.
a newish one ye might like is Hostiles

Not heard of that one, Baph. Will look out for it.

Crikey! It’s got Rosalind Pike in it! Can’t wait.

not many decent ones getting made these days; that one is a welcome exception

good stream here (and safe)

Cheers, Baph.

Brimstone is another very decent movie. Dakota Fanning is as magnificent as Guy Pearce is menacing. Not for the faint hearted though

not a bother

Unforgiven... Think thats fred over.

Shane.

1. The Good,the Bad and the Ugly  (The greatest movie of any genre ever made.)
2. For a few dollars more
3. Once upon a time in the west

Oh My Darling Clementine

Probably not the best but definitely my favourite.

thanks feck kenny didn't say Pale Rider

In Clementine I love the Shakespearean actor scene with Victor Mature as Doc Halliday (or is it Holiday?).

John Henry Holliday.

Great scene indeed RC.

She wore a yellow ribbon.

True Grit  both versions          Hombre    and another shout for Once Upon A Time In The West

I also like Dances with Wolves.
Slammed by many but for me it just has a lovely feel to it of how the native Americans lived albeit probably romanticised.

And also a bit of a similar feel Last of the Mohicans.

Hope nobody says Blazing Saddles. But good fun.

ah the utterly wonderful Frank Silvera saying "oooooombre" One of the best segments ever. Frank of course went on to reprise his Mexican role in The High Chapparal, even though of course he was a black actor from Jamaica

3 of my favourites

Ulzana's Raid (Burt Lancaster)
For A Few Dollars More (Eastwood / Van Cleef) - best ending ever
High Noon

Shenandoah is class.
Jimmy bloody Stewart. Brilliant.

one for Mac from 1938

"Come on, Rangers!"

1. Once Upon A Time In The West
2. Django Unchained
3. True Grit (2010)

Shenandoah
Unforgiven
Pat Garrett and Billy the kid (peckinpah,s one )

You lot know nothing...Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid was the Best Western ever made.

"Get off your horse and drink your milk" John Wayne

It appears that was never actually said.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Magnificent Seven
The Outlaw Josey Wales

The three godfathers was also an excellent film.

Racing, The Man who shot a Liberty Valence is on Irish channel TG4 now.

Good the bad and ugly, personal fav.

Little Big Man

The Cowboys
Tombstone

Some fine selections ball all. But there is one that towers over these. The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Tombstone
Open Range
Shane

are my top three.

3.10 from yuma a shocking omishun.

The Quick and the Dead another good one.

Yep Duffy the quick and the dead was excellent.

Western s were probably the greatest genre of films.

The amount of different ones mentioned above that we all could identify with and say oh yes forgot that one is proof enough of that

ok i've teased you all long enough. Here's 3 of my very favs

The Oxbow Incident
The Gunfighter
Monte Walsh

The Gunfighter was a great film Bap. I have not watched Monte Walsh, so going to watch over weekend, thanks.

Some of my favourites which spring to mind:

Stagecoach
Red River
The Wild Bunch
Winchester 73
The Man From Laramie
Lonely Are The Brave

.... I`ll give Come On The Rangers a miss

Was thinking of buying the Karl May trilogy Winnetou on Blu Ray but before buying I always consult the forum`s resident Film expert Baphornet.

... a certain German highly recommended them

The Outlaw Josey Wales

The Good,the Bad and the Ugly

The Sons of Katie Elder

Karl Marx?

Old Shatterhand was ok

Unforgiven and For A Few Dollars More are the best imo.

But neither could have happened without Shane.

The first western to show the loud and graphic violence of a gunfight. The first one to emphasize that gunfighters were not pleasant men, even if the man with the gun looked like Alan Ladd. The first one to make the battle between the old cattlemen and the government-encouraged homesteaders an ambiguous one (both sides have perfectly reasonable claims as to right and wrong).

And without Jack Palance slow, silent entrance there would have been no Lee van Cleef.

The Seven Samurai

Blazing saddles

Carry on cowboy

The Wild Bunch

at least Mighty Mac agrees with me

Peckinpahs version of the Magnificent Samurai. Still good though

Absolutely

a few euros more and a fistful of pounds both great westerns

I used to take Americans on day trips in the south of France, in my minivan. Very often we'd visit a medieval village in the morning and I'd wait for them in the square with the van. I used to love it when they asked me what time do you want us back Tony? I'm not telling you I said but I'll give you a clue and I sang the !st line of the song, "Do not forsake me oh my darling, on this our wedding day" and they always got it, High Noon! That's my favourite western.

Nice story, driver2.

Baph, just watched Hostiles. Enjoyed it, thanks.

Lonesome Dove.

I rarely watch films, but

oops, A Million Ways to Die in the West made me laugh a lot the other week..

pleased you liked it, RC

Check out the location videos of Once Upon..West and GBU on youtube. Superb stuff:

Also check out the Sad Hill doc on netflix, fans restoration project of Sad Hill cemetery.

Thanks hfink for mentioning the Sad hill documentary on Netflix..just watched. It's by far my most favourite film so I definitely want to visit there at some point. Just been on the website to see if I can sponsor a grave to get my name on one but too late..can only get one in a virtual cemetery online now

anyone remember te western comedy F troop

Yup

Hi giggity, glad you watched it, it was an incredible thing the fans did there, wasn't it, a heck of an undertaking. Not surprised all the names have been taken up, I expect they went very quickly, and it shows the popularity of this film around the word. But an on-line one is better than nothing . I love all the Leone westerns, my personal favourite is Once Upon..West (and indeed my favourite film of all).

Comedy : The Three Amigos
Drama : Unforgiven by a whisker from Once upon a time in the west

High Noon

Shane

One Foot in Hell

I have just watched Big Jake enjoyed it as a kid and still as good today.
