Best Westerns, Anyone?

Started by WindDancer8 pages

Oooooh one of my favorite genres. Let's see best Westerns:

Rio Bravo
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
High Noon
Django
The Great Silence
Once Upon a Time in the West
Keoma

Best Western Actors:

Gary Cooper
Clint Eastwood
Roy Rogers
John Wayne
Franco Nero

But without a doubt the best Western film of all time is Dances with Wolves.

I totally forgot about High Plains Drifter and Django

oo I forgot about High Noon.....Gary Cooper was exceptional. And Im not a fan of the spaghetti western which is why Unforgiven is the only one of CE's that I like.

Whoops...I'm always doing this. I said "Pale Rider", but I MEANT "High Plains Drifter". Some fan I am.

I should also probably change number 5 to "Shane", since it's more of a Western, and less of a comedy like "BTTF3".

The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly
and Unforgiven

I think Clint Eastwood's westerns epitomise the entire genre. I'm a major fan of his works...so there's little surprise with most in the following list...

1 THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES
2 THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY
3 HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER
4 FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE
5 A FISTFULL OF DOLLARS
6 UNFORGIVEN
7 THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
8 THE BEGUILED
9 SOLDIER BLUE
10 HIGH NOON

The problem with top of your head ersatz film lists is that you've always forgotten one...

Stick the following in at No 7 and move the others down the list...HIGH NOON is, alas, out of my top ten...but not forgotten!

7 DANCES WITH WOLVES.

1. The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
2. The Wild Bunch
3. The Searchers
4. Once Upon A Time In The West
5. Tombstone

Lonesome Dove was a great miniseries...

I also like Django, Kill... If You Live, Shoot!

Once upon a time in the West
The Ballad of Cable Hogue
Jeremiah Johnson
Little Big Man
The Shootist

HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER is criminally underrated. DJANGO's the one where the anti-hero drags a coffin around for most of the film and manages to shoot the bad guys with his smashed hands? Comic book spaghetti splatter at it's finest!
