The Best Western Movie Music Ever

[Dixon Carter Lee]

"The Magnificent Seven".

I win.

 

[seXieleXie]

cheater! you took mine.

 

[Hamletmaschine]

"The Long Riders" isn't bad, either.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

cheater! you took mine.

Sorry. Let me make it up to you. You can have "Cat Ballou".

 

[kotori]

. . . You can have "Cat Ballou".

Stubby Kaye?

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Great singer. Great movie. Great music.

 

[DéjàNu]

Mine:
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
by Ennio Morricone

Once Upon A Time In The West was good too by Morricone again. But my favorite of him is The Mission.

 

[CelestialBody]

OOPS

 

[sunstruck]

Don't hate me, but i love They Call the Wind Maria, Paint Your Wagon.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Great song. Good play. Terrible movie.

Re: OOPS

I don't watch the movies that much, but the score to "The Cowboys" is a clarinetists dream. Absolutely amazing. A blast to play. I love John Williams. I'm not certain it's a movie though...

I have to agree. That was always one of my favorite pieces to play.

If DCL has staked out "The Magnificent Seven", then I want to claim "Silverado".

The score is absolutely impeccable.

Complete agreement.

I seem to be death to your threads Dix, I'm not posting on them anymore!! lol

 

[kotori]

Great song. Good play. Terrible movie.

Clint Eastwood was a good singer.

 

[erosman]

Good play. Terrible movie.

Wandering Star captures the wanderlust of the western spirit better. Cowboys weren't so much bad boys, as they were mis-fitted. They were pilgrims without puritan peity.

I love Paint Your Wagon - the songs and the movie. I think the soundtrack to "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly" beats it, though. It's perfectly matched to the tone of the movie.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Ahhh, that would be Tom Berenger singing his hero song in Rustlers' Rhapsody.

I've always liked Tom Berenger.

 

[sunstruck]

Clint Eastwood was a good singer.

No...no he definitely wasn't...but like Brando in Guys and Dolls...he didn't really have to be.
Eastwood isn't why the movie was disappointing.

I'll see your schmaltzy song and raise you two.

Both from "Three Amigos"

"Sweet Little Buttercup" sung in the tavern, and the goodnight song sung out on the plains. You know the one.

 

[KillerMuffin]

You're bluffing. I see your two schmaltzy songs from the Trying Hard Trio and raise you a Mel Brooks with Frankie Laine singing a new version of Mule Train for Blazing Saddles and the entire musical number in the beginning where they sing I Get a Kick out of You, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, and Camptown Races.

 

[ExLimey]

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Especially the scene near the end where Tuco is running around the cemetary looking for the grave (piano and then moving into very "Spanish" sounding trumpets).

Named my dog Tuco because I love that movie so much.

 

[JazzManJim]

All right. I didn't want to have to do this.

I'll see you and raise you:

Any of the comedic Disney westerns. The ones with the good twin and the bad twin. Horrible music. Just horrible.

 

[KillerMuffin]

*sighs*

JMJ, you play dirty.

Don Bluth tops those dippy Olsen Twins anyday.

Fivel Goes West with singing rats, a cat, and a dog who thinks he's Jimmy Stewart.

It gets worse. I wasn't even talking about the Olsen Twins.

I was talking about, I believe, "The Apple Dumpling Gang" and the sequel. There were two brothers. ONe was a preacher and one was a dangerous (In a Disney-esqu sense) gunslinger.
