Best Western

[Peter Parka]

What do you think is the best Western film?

I would say Unforgiven followed closely by High Noon

Dances with Wolves is my favorite.

I never read the book. Who wrote it?

I would like to add The Man With No Name trilogy to the list.
My favorite quote..

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

Michael Blake, I believe

Love the Young Gun films, I'm very interested in Billy the Kid. Believe it or not, the second Young Guns film was much closer to the truth, even though it seemed much more Hollywood commercial than the first one.

I've always loved Butch Cassidy, but also The Outlaw Josey Wales

A movie that can be classified as a western is Timerider. About a guy on a motorcycle who goes back to 1875 by accident.
Very good movie.

It's impossible for me to pick a favorite,but the first one that came to mind is "Once Upon a Time in the West," with Henry Fonda,Charles Bronson,and other great actors.It was quite a departure from most westerns,and definitely worth a look-see! :clap

 

[NuckingFuts]

Blazing Saddles was the shit!

Western could mean several things. What is this thread about? Do you mean that cowboy crap?

Petey, I gotta hand it to ya. I saw the title here in New Posts and came by to drop "Unforgiven" at the top of my list for movies along with "The Shootist" All time, though, for me has to go to "Lonesome Dove."

"Unforgiven" for my money is absolutely outstanding. "Dances With Wolves" was epic as well.

Good stuff.

Unforgiven is so great because I dont think I've ever seen a Western that deals with death so realistically. It's none of this bang bang you're dead stuff, it shows the people being shot as real people with people who care deeply about them. Superb film!:nod:

Heh I was kidding with the "crap". I don't mind cowboy like settings. Can be good if it isn't in a cliché plot.
