Well we all know that's not true.

 

1. High Plains Drifter

2. Dirty Harry

3. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

4. A Fistful of Dollars

5. For A Few More Dollars

 

 

I mean, come on. Let's review the action of that movie.

 

He kills several men with a whip, rapes some floozy, and then makes a midget the mayor of the town.

I consider UNFORGIVEN not just the best Eastwood movie, but just maybe the best western ever made, but that's just my opinion.

Silly... that's a wrestling pay per view.

[Nighthawk 0]

Unforgiven is very good, but best western is a motel.

 

The real answer is The Searchers.

Haha, good pun. Would read again.

1. Dirty Harry isn't even a western you noob

 

2. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is head and shoulders above the rest. Let's not kid ourselves.

Best western movie = Once Upon a Time In The West. Or maybe El Topo.

[Nighthawk 0]

Oh, El Topo is better, but I don't tecnically think of it a western. It's just a trip.

[PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0]

The "best" western is probably McCabe & Mrs. Miller. But that one's not very fun, so

 

Best western movie = Once Upon a Time In The West.

Come on, no love for "The Wild Bunch"?

I agree that Unforgiven is all kinds of awesome, and I hate the western genre. The only westerns I can watch are just Clint Eastwood movies, don't know why.

I am there with you. I'm not a big western fan either, but I have seen a lot of them. My favorite genres are horror and film noir.

"The Wild Bunch" was the first western I really loved. I liked "Tombstone", but "The Wild Bunch" got me into the genre.

[The Niggardly King 0]

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is all you really need.

[Nighthawk 0]

Wow, there are more good ones than I thought.

The Long Riders is a good flick that doesn't get enough mention when talking about westerns. It's odd with how it casts real life brothers as infamous criminal brothers. James and Stacey Keach as the James brothers, David, Keith and Robert Carradine as the Younger brothers, Randy and Dennis Quaid as the Miller brothers and Nicolas and Christopher Guest as the Ford brothers.

[Blade2kxx 0]

All great choices for Best Western, but really...

 

1. High Noon

2. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

3. Unforgiven

4. Fistful of Dollars

5. Tombstone

[Ravenbomb 0]

Dunno if I can rank these except that Once Upon a Time in the West is #1, but my favorite westerns are:

 

-Once Upon a Time in the West

-The Big Country

-El Topo

-Lonely are the Brave

-No Country For Old Men

-Shane

-The Magnificent Seven

-The Wild Bunch

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence deserves at least an honorable mention.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

Westerns may be my favorite genre.

 

I can literally watch any western, no matter how corny.

 

My favorite Eastwood western is For a Few Dollars More.

 

Favorite western overall? Man, that's brutal. So many I love.

 

Blazing Saddles? Treasure of the Sierra Madre? High Noon? The Searchers?

 

Cowboy TV shows were great, too. The Rifleman, fuckin' Branded??

 

Can't go wrong. Westerns fall in the pizza category.

[Ravenbomb 0]

Yeah, that was a good one, too. It's just a bit hard for me to get into John Wayne.

Agent- If you haven't seen it yet check out The Proposition. Aussie western directed, scored and written by Nick Cave. Fucking killer.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

This warrants a thread.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

As I stated in CWDWAT 2005's The Proposition is fantastic. Story is about three brothers, two of whom are robbers and the other who's generally regarded as a complete pyscho. When the two robbers are caputred a local sherrif makes an offer to the middle brother: go out and kill the older pyscho brother or the youngest hangs. It's got a great cast with Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone, David Winham, Danny Houston, Emily Mortimer and John Hurt all turning in stellar performances and the scoring and directing by Nick Cave is top-shelf. Highly recommended.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

I think I like For a Few Dollars More so much because Indio is such a great psychopath. Lives to kill and steal. It's hard to say what sort of western I like the most. A more diverse genre than it appears on the surface.

 

That movie is now on my netflix queue.

Yeah, I put all those videos on my netflix queue.
