I haven't seen a thread about western movies. What is you absolute favorite wester movie? Unlike most, I don't like John Wayne movies. They just don't look real. My pick is .. You know when a leftest runs out of ideas...it is when they pull out the racist card. |

Damn, That's a tough one, So many good ones. I guess my favorites would be a Clint Eastwood "man with no name trology." Some days however, it would be the Magnificent Seven. Outlaw Josie Wales The Shootist .....ugh. can't stop; too many good ones. |

Yes, a very tough question. Mostly because the western is one of Hollywood's all-time favorite genres. These would be my picks. Not necessarily in this order (but then again, quite possibly in this order). 5. Blazing Saddles 4. Tombstone 3. High Noon 2. Unforgiven - this is probably the most realistic western ever and ironicly on the History Channel (west coast) as we speak 1.

The Magnificent Seven....best western ever made IMO.
Some of the best quotes from the movie.
"I never rode shotgun on a hearse before."
"You know - I've been in some towns where the girls weren't all that pretty. In fact I've been in some towns where they're downright ugly. But it's the first time I've been in a town where there are no girls at all, 'cept little ones. You know if we're not careful we could have quite a social life here. "
"We deal in lead friend."

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Or The Outlaw Josey Wales. Any one of those and a bucket o' beer.

I agree with Fisher Josie is one of the best. Highplanes Drifter is another Clint favorite. Really of the more recent ones I would go with, Silverado. I forget the actor's name, but the scene where he is practicing his shooting on prickly pear cactus and runs out of ammo always made me cringe a little when the bad guys show up.

"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it." |

The Searchers, John Wayne, Natalie Wood, et al. Honorable mentions to Unforgiven, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and Tombstone 3:10 to Yuma is the best one in the last 10 years or so, but that isn't saying much. |

Another vote for Unforgiven. The good guys aren't good, the bad guys aren't bad, and the whores aren't supermodels. |

What's the one with John Wayne and Oliver Hardy? Hansen's Roughriders?
I also like that one where Dustin Hoffman plays the Indian.
This is a fine Clint Eastwood clip.
