Westerns

[VaticanAssassin]

A dying genre but still one of my favorite. I am looking forward to The Magnificent Seven reboot like I have no other reboot.

I honestly can not tell you what my favorite style is but it is definitely a tossup between spaghetti westerns and John Wayne....

I hate westerns with a passion. I hated going to my grandfather house as a kid because the living room TV stayed on Gunsmoke. Like motherfucker you got your own TV in your own room, don't force me to watch this shit.

 

[Darbhinder]

It's Unforgiven.

 

[pointless]

and seven samurai is still better.

so is yojimbo.

A few I like:

Open Range

Lonesome Dove

Soldier Blue

I will Fight no more Forever

Little Big Man

Aw poor baby.....Most movies and TV shows are slanted shit. Take for example one of my favorite movies: Jeremiah Johnson. Good movie but a hell of a long way from the truth. His nick name was liver eating Johnson. He ate the livers of those warriors he killed.According to verbal reports from him, some of those were taken before the donors were dead. That little tidbit didn't make it into the movie. I wonder why?

You want the real truth, read some history dude. Here's one for you. One name, two words: Bass Reeves

Tombstone era
What kippies said.


The Magnificent Seven looks great. Because no John Wayne.

and finally, the coen brothers version of true grit is the shit. john wayne's version is overrated.

that's not his fault, though. it's more that shithead glen campbell and the thirty year old woman playing a 14 year old.

I wouldn't say overrated but agree with the rest. Put John Wayne in the Coen brothers version and it is even better......

On a side note. While I wouldn't trade Clint's movies as a whole for Tombstone, Tombstone is my favorite single Western and the only Earp movie worth watching.....

 

[Adre]

Pale Rider was my favorite...until Unforgiven came along.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

This movie should have been better given the actors. But while I acknowledge it sucked (not as bad as Young Guns), I still like it as a guilty pleasure.

Shame the director/screen writers fucked it up....

3:10 to Yuma with Russel Crowe was good..

 

[Darbhinder]

Even bad men love their mommas.

Forgot all about that...

It should be on the list with Tombstone as a modern good western....

 

[butters]

harumph!!!!

..What in the Wide World of Sports is a-going on here? I hired you people to get a little track laid, not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots!

 

[pink]

I watched Hang Em High once, it was pretty good. Other than that, no interest to watch Westerns.

Now my Dad loved to read Westerns years and years ago. He loved them.

 

[spacekowboy]

You commie John Wayne haters can eat a dick.

Watch The Searchers.

or even:

Taggart: I got it! I know how we can run everyone out of Rock Ridge.

Hedley Lamarr: How?

Taggart: We'll kill the first born male child in every household.

Hedley Lamarr: [after some consideration] Too Jewish.

 

[Conager]

Clint is almost always good with the exception of Paint Your Wagon. Worst Western idea ever

Ha!

Seriously one of my favorite comedy's of all time, even better than Airplane IMO. Just not sure I would say it is a western....


Bart: Are we awake?
Jim: We're not sure. Are we... black?
Bart: Yes, we are.
Jim: Then we're awake... but we're very puzzled.

it's in a class of its own

i admit to having enjoyed some john wayne cowboy stuff, but it's clint eastwood all the way... yul brynner, though, in cowboy stuff ain't bad either

Oldies...

Shane -- quintessential western for my money.

Red River -- best cattle drive film.

High Noon -- Gary Cooper's gravitas.

Breakheart Pass -- Charles Bronson dispatches the whole gang.
