x2 plus McLintock, very funny! Also, El Dorado, lots of them, how about Shane, seems like the first gun fight that sounded real.

The original Magnificent Seven was better in my opinion. Also has the two best lines in any western. Eric

I don't know if there's a bigger fan of Mclintock than my wife.She saw it at the theater when it came out and still never misses a chance to see it again.Actually,I don't know if I have a favorite of Wayne's westerns,I like all of them.Tom Sellecks westerns are very good,Kevin Costners are too.The Outlaw Joey Wales is good,and of course there's the classic Tombstone,with Kurt Russell.

The Sacketts and Outlaw Josey Wales are also favorites of mine.

I wasn't a huge fan of the original Shane,the story seemed too hurried.I wish they'd do a remake of it,and stick as close as possible to the book.

I just read the book a couple weeks ago. I thought the movie was pretty close.

Re: Watching a favorite western - 02/07/22 12:10 AM

The original True Grit. The standard from which all westerns are judged.

"I aim to kill you in one minute Ned, or see you hang in Fort Smith at Judge Parkers convenience, which will it be?"
"I call that bold talk for a one eyed fat man"
"Fill your hands you son of a b****! "

Re: Watching a favorite western - 02/07/22 02:13 AM

Lots of good westerns, some newer ones not mentioned are Old Henry, The Forsaken, The Missing just to name a few, then can’t forget some of the older ones like Big Jake, The Shootist, The Legend of Walks Far woman and Last Stand at Saber river to name a few

Lots of good westerns and many are favorites that come out often

I agree with all these choices, they are all great! How about Silverado? Quigley Down Under for sure.

Re: Watching a favorite western - 02/07/22 02:58 PM

For me, nothing tops Lonesome Dove. Tombstone was a close second. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid is very good.

Re: Watching a favorite western - 02/07/22 03:07 PM

Silverado and Quigley were excellent,for tv shows Big Valley and High Chapperal,really liked How the west was won with James Arness.Lonesome Dove was excellent.

No one picked broke back moutian im suprised. I have noticed the leftist have not been around much.

Anything with the Duke is a winner. Infact other than the one above I dont think there was a bad western.

Re: Watching a favorite western - 02/07/22 08:50 PM

I've watched "Dances with Wolves" more than any other movie. I love the scene while they're sitting by the fire, the old mule skinner (Timmons) stands up, takes a squatting position and lets a big fart directly at Kostner, and says "Write that in your book".

Didn't mean to dismiss Clint.High Plains Drifter and The Outlaw Josey Wales are among my favorites.There's so many good westerns these just didn't get mentioned.By the way,I once read an interview with Eastwood where he said John Wayne gave him heck for High Plains Drifter.He didn't like the message the film sent.

THANK YOU!

TRUE GRIT IS ABSOLUTELY THE FINEST WESTERN MOVIE!

Any movie with John Wayne.
Stagecoach
The Man who shot Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin)
The Cowboys
The Searchers
The Commancheros (Lee Marvin)
The War Wagon (Kirk Douglas)

Clint Eastwood’s movies are great too.
Josey Wales was a staple for our son.
He learned the important lines by about age 8.

Robert Duvall makes good ones too.Open Range is another classic

Re: Watching a favorite western - 02/08/22 03:42 PM

I like all of the westerns mentioned here but I guess I’m kinda “old school westerns”.
Most have probably never heard of Joel McCrea but to me his movie “Wichita” was a classic, one of my all time favorites and brings back great memories of watching them with family when I was a kid.
Other actors like Randolf Scott, Audie Murphy, Clint Walker and Alan Ladd are some of my favorites too. I think Jack Elam and Claude Akins were in in most westerns ever created. Let’s not forget the ladies, I always thought Vera Miles was a great actress too. She was my Grandpa’s favorite in “Wichita”.

Do you guys ever think when you are watching an old one like Shane when they show unbelievable backgrounds and wonder what it looks like now. I am sure there is a city or a housing addition there now.

Quite a lot of the filming locations were done in National Parks. Quite a bit of the vistas probably haven't changed. Countless Western movies have been filmed in Monument valley.

I know the filming for Gunsmoke was in Johnson valley in Utah and is just abandoned now.
