My all time fave. You can still easily make out where Sad Hill Cemetery was located on Google Maps. Google Maps
in no particular order..... The Searchers The Good The Bad and The Ugly El Dorado Rio Bravo The Quick and The Dead Winchester `73 The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Red River High Noon
I think I've watched them all. Some as early as early 1930s. I think Lonesome Dove would be mine. I read the book first, couldn't put it down. Then when the movie came out with Robert Duvall. My favorite actor.
favorites can change over time. a favorite from when we were 18 may not be a favorite when we are 40. if I pick a couple of favorites now at age 70 they would be RED RIVER and MY DARLING CLEMENTINE. there are some scenes & sequences in both that I consider poetry on film.
The Unforgiven (1992) Pale Rider (1985) Big Jake (1971) Rio Lobo (1970) Worst Movies: The Shakiest Gun in the West (1968) Starring Don Knotts Wild, Wild West (1999) Hard to believe Will Smith turned down the role of neo in the Matrix to play James West
Favorite - THE BIG COUNTRY (1958) best dialog, best music, best villains (Burl Ives & Chuck Connors), best female characters (Jean Simmons & Carroll Baker), best fist fight (Charlton Heston & Gregory Peck), best ending.
