Outlaw Jossie Wells.

Ditto. Well, Josie Wales, anyway.

Note the recurring theme....all Clint Eastwood films.

Pale Rider ..sucked.

Clint Eastwood wasnt even there... just an alien disguised as him in that movie..

High Plains Drifter.

.... not a spaghetti western, though.

You have to watch the the The BAD, The Bad and the Ugly in the anniversary edition on DVD. It looks great and they put it back together. Josie Wales would be a close second. They are both big epic films.

Is that the official explanation for the weirdness, Frank?

clint's first western on american soil- hang 'em high. one of my all time favorite flicks (along with josey)

EDIT: wrote 'hand 'em high' which was actually the underrated documentary about the history of high fiving.

I love all of the Sergio Leone westerns, from the Clint Eastwood ones to Once Upon a Time in the West with Charles Bronsnon and James Coburn. The best western, however, is the Wild Bunch. End of thread.

What about Little Big Man, Young Guns and Unforgiven......

I like westerns quite a bit and have seen many. "The Outlaw Josie Wales" is certainly one of my favorites. And, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" is right up there.

But, don't overlook Silverado, Quigley Down Under (certainly a western style if not a true western ), or just about any Western that was done by Tom Selleck (I.E. The Sacketts), Wyatt Earp (Kevin Costner), Tombstone (Kurt Russel). The Magnificent Seven, 3:10 To Yuma, The Shootist, Hud.

If you also like western comedy, see Rustler's Raphsody (Tom Berringer), Frisco Kid (Wilder, Ford), Shanghai Noon, Lightnin Jack, Little Big Man.

Cheers,

TT how could leave out Blazing Saddles?

mark · « **Reply #18 on:** April 20, 2008, 06:02:42 PM »

........ well, gee..... If we stretch the list to include just any old westerns I'd add 'The Long Riders'(Carradines, Keach's, Quaids, Guests) .......... 'western style' add 'J.W. Coop'(Cliff Robertson) and second Quigley(dang that's a nice Sharps copy).

Western comedy - 'Blazing Saddles', of course. .....not sure where 'The Cowboy Way' fits but "questioning" Stubby was a great scene.

There's some funny stuff in that for sure. But, that movie is a little too blatant slapstick to be on my great movie list as the replay value diminishes a bit too quickly. The Comedy Westerns I listed hold up to repeat viewing quite nicely. Whereas, Blazing Saddles wasn't funny or of much interest after the second viewing. But, that's just Mel Brook's style. Most of his movie's are like that. Kind of "throw away" humor...sort of. If you know what I mean.

Cheers,

+1 for Josie Wales.

What about the Duke? The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

tsp37 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 20, 2008, 06:16:34 PM »

Or Rooster Cogburn?

Rocking-M · « **Reply #22 on:** April 20, 2008, 06:19:20 PM »

We ought to add

"Tom Horn" that was a great one.

BobbyR · « **Reply #23 on:** April 20, 2008, 06:21:39 PM »

Silverado was pretty good also. Lonesome Dove was amazing for TV.

Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The (2005)

there's a movie I just can't remember the name of, nor the actor, but it's a good one.

One of the best bronc riding scenes ever,
the fellow's been trying to ride this horse and does and then
has to shoot his old partner, and while his partner is dying
he tells him how he figured out how to ride the horse.
Help me out here fellows.
