Best WESTERN?????

I Like Westerns!!!..........

My favourite is: 'Shane' (1953) starring Alan Ladd.

What is YOUR favourite Western?........

 

O haha...I thought you were referring to the hotels...

 

James Stewart. His westerns directed by Anthony Mann are awesome.

 

I love everything James Stewart ever made. With the possible exception of that rabbit movie....eh?...

ALL WESTERNS. ALL HITCHCOCKS. MR. SMITH, WONDERFUL LIFE..etc..etc.. you name it with Stewart in it and I like it.

Besides, I give a mean Stewart impression.

 

The Duke!

 

my favorite is actually not even a classic one, I love Tombstone

 

I still think The good, the bad & the ugly is the best. But I love westerns like The great silence and Django as well. Actually, however it surely isn't the best, Death rides a horse (with Lee van Cleef) is also high in my list of favourites. Did anyone here watched Blueberry? That is a great none-classic western in my opinion. Of course you have to dig the trippy parts in that one.

 

I love Clint Eastwood my favorite movie is The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

 

The good The BAD and The Ugly . The Italians beat the gringos making western movies .

 

The Magnificent Seven -

'you bend with the breeze - or you break'

- yeeha!

 

have to say james stewart but my favorite is a james stewart/john wayne movie
~The man who shot liberty valance. great movie about the changing of the western myth.

 

The problem with American Westerns is = every one was spotless ,the casinos were cleaner than today Las Vegas ,..The italian westerns while it did get carry away with the sound effects of the guns "revolvers sound like a high power rifle" but they did sound cool, .. but the rest was more like the real western = dirty looking characters, dirty saloons , lots of dust on the clothes , even in 1 movie a little boy is taking a piss by the town dirt road, only a few of the early Westerns movies made by Hollywood were close in "1930s" . The ones in the 1950s most of the 60s were rediculus clean . Even the Errol Flynn pirate movies were rather spotless for a pirate on a ship.

 

the ultimate western for me is: Once upon a time in the west, sergio leones master piece

 

Anyone ever seen 'blue' 1968 with Terrence Stamp - it kinda grabbed me..

but anyway - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was one I watched at about 5 years old - and always tried to live up to the part where they are being tracked by a red indian and the rest of the crew,and both jump off the cliff into the stream - even though the sundance kid can't swim.

 

Sorry to be off topic but Burt Lancaster (which is in the poll) was absolutely fantastic in 'The Crimson Pirate' - obviously not a western - but he starred with his old circus sidekick Nick Cravat - they do all kinds of stunts and it's a real swashbuckler of a film - now I've remembered it - I'm gonna go and get it off amazon!

 

is 'the life and times of judge roy bean' a westen? because thats one of my favorite movies

 

The Outlaw Josey Wales


Bounty Hunter: You're wanted, Wales.
Wales: Reckon I'm right popular. You a bounty hunter?
Bounty Hunter: A man's got to do something for a living these days.
Wales: Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy.

 

Thanks eveyone.Some terrific gunslingin' Westerns mentioned on here.I note that Clint Eastwood is way ahead in the best cowboy poll.No surprise there.
Please keep 'em comin'!!!.
'The Magnificent Seven',good choice!.
Here's two more: 'Warlock' 1959 &'The Wild Bunch'1969.

 

Whoa - this one is unmissable

'the Missouri Breaks' - with Marlon Brando & Jack Nicholson

 

Only because Lee van Cleef isn't between them in my case.
