And the BEST Western of all time is...

[simiouno]

I came this " " close to being cast in Tombstone. It is still my favorite. I worked, as a kid, on The Searchers, and later in life on crew on the War Wagon, so I have a special place in my heart for those Westerns. As stated above, there are so many sub-genres within the Western film that it is hard to pick just one. I once did a comparison between Leone and Kurosawa for a film class. Samurai films are the westerns of Japan.

In 2000 I was in England doing Wild West Shows and we visited the Laredo Western Town. Quite a place. Have you been there?

When you're in Deadwood, say "HI" to "Irish" Michael McCarthy for me!

The Magnificent Seven
The Good , The Bad and The Ugly
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Dances with Wolves
Silverado and Open Range ..., in that particular order

For a few dollars more, trumps them for me. The good the bad and the ugly is awesome but falls into a respectable second place

No love for The Cowboys? Whenever that is on tv, that is where my channel surfing stops. Never get tired of it.

The Cowboys was probably the first western I remember watching. It was that movie that made me a fan of Bruce Dern. And it's unique in the fact that it's one of, possibly the only, John Wayne film where he dies.

But... I don't think it held up. I loved it as a kid, but don't enjoy it as much now.

If we're voting, I vote Tombstone hands down.

 

[dascoyne]

I have so many westerns I consider truly great films: My Darling Clementine, The Searchers, The Wild Bunch ... but in the end if I could only pick one film it would be a spaghetti western called, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

#1 is a fantastic choice
