What is your favorite Western?

My name is trinity is more inspiring and hopeful.

Hard to pick. So many great ones, such a stacked genre. Winchester ‘73 is one of the best ones that doesn’t get recommended enough imo.

>>212722636
I just can't take James Stewart seriously as a Western lead. Liberty Valance was the only great one because he played the dandy.

>>212722533 (OP)
Tombstone

>>212722533 (OP)
One of my favorite films period

>>212722724
I used to be like that too back when I was like a teenager and just thought of him as that dork from It’s A Wonderful Life with the funny voice that they used in cartoons a lot. As an adult I’ve seen him in so many great movies and in so many different varied roles that it’s nothing to see him as a cowboy. I could even buy him as a Mountain Man in How The West Was Won. The guy clearly knew how to ride and shoot and he had a military pedigree under his belt so he blended right into the role imo.

The upcoming film Flint, starring Canadian actress Sarah Gadon as a strong and respected female cattle rancher

As far as who these guys really were when it comes to old hollywood stars, Jimmy was by far the coolest. But he was never as cool as John Wayne or Clint Eastwood on screen in the west.

probably for a few dollars more

>>212723178
>cool as John Wayne
that poof is not cool

>>212723178
Sure, I’ll agree with that. He didn’t try to be though, that wasn’t his style. >>212723301
Shut up commie

>>212723417
its okay to be gay. it's just not cool. simple as

>>212723417
The Far Country remains my favorite Steward Western, as wells as for Mann. The whole concept of "Northerns" and the gold rush story remains underused in Westerns.

>>212723301
he was pretty cool when he was younger like in stagecoach

>>212723648
I love that one too. Walter Brennan always rules.

>>212722533 (OP)
Firefly, Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven

>>212723797
I recently rewatched The Long Goodbye and the Walter Brennan impression made me so happy.

you are the plebbest pleb

>>212722724
Watch Naked Spur. He's sort of a bastard in that one.

Rio Bravo
The Searchers

lonesome dove could be performed on the radio and it would still be the goat

>>212722533 (OP)
High Noon

>>212724629
Sad day that a Lonesome Dove poster would be an annoying gatekeeping shitter that takes the fun out of a thread.

>>212722533 (OP)
Dudes (1987)

>>212722533 (OP)
Wild wild west is I think the only one I've seen, it's kino.

>>212722533 (OP)
Earlier this year I rewatched The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and I kinda had forgotten how good it actually is. Like in my brain I know its a good movie, but I forget how good it is.

Unforgiven second.

t. screenwriter

>>212722533 (OP)
High Plains Drifter or Silverado depending on if I'm having a good day or a bad day

Shane.
Shane is such a fucking work of art. One of the only movies I felt the need to watch twice back to back

>>212722533 (OP)

Unforgiven, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and the Searchers are my top three.

I think I'd have to give it to Unforgiven.

>>212723178
>As far as who these guys really were when it comes to old hollywood stars, Jimmy was by far the coolest.

>>212729236
I prefer Pale Rider desu

>>212722611
>expecting a Sergio Leone film to be ‘inspiring’ and ‘hopeful’
>believing that’s what makes a film good

I still think the ‘The Man who Shot Liberty Valance’ is one of the best, at least the last great of the old westerns before the revisionist spaghetti westerns and then Clint.

>>212729235
Pale Rider > High Plains Drifter. They’re pretty similar films as well, almost as if Eastwood was having another shot at the same idea.

>>212729374
>expecting everyone's criteria for good films to be the same as his
ngmi

>>212729485
i like Pale Rider because adds a spiritual layer to Shane and i hate crony capitalists.

>>212729236
Come back shane

>>212722636
Really? I see Winchester '73 referenced here more than is probably necessary, and more than other westerns of its era. Or is that all you?

Shane
Unforgiven
Josey Wales
Dances With Wolves
All Rooster Cogburn movies
Hostiles
Buster Scruggs
Lefty Brown
High Noon
3:10 to Yuma
Butch and Sundance
Lonesome Dove
Deadwood
The Quick and the Dead (NOT the Raimi movie. The Sam Elliot TV Movie from the L'amour novel)
Bone Tomahawk
El Dorado
Rio Bravo
Red River
Hateful Eight

I'm sure there are way more I can't think of. I really liked the first Horizon and can't wait for more. Westerns are hard to come by these days. Hostiles was one of the really good modern ones.

Was it kino or cringe?

>>212729984
Those are two opposite and extreme choices. I reject your premise.

fievel goes west

>>212729910
you have excellent taste anon i wish i could give you a cigar

The Valley of Gwangi.

>>212732424
why does Harmonica go outside the woman's house in the middle of night, make noise, and light a match? and when the woman fires her shotgun at his match, he drops the match but continues playing. what is supposed to have happened? realistically he should be dying.

And the next morning, in the stable, Harmonica meets the woman and rips off her collar thing, and something she has on her arms. what's he doing that for? makes him look like a total nutter.

and before all this, there's a scene where that fat guy is sneaking into the laundry building in the middle of night, and Harmonica is waiting for him to come sneaking. what was that about? in a later scene he appears to be like a manager or something at the laundry. so why does he need to sneak around there at night?

>>212722533 (OP)
it's between Good, Bad & Ugly and Once Upon a Time. the duel in For a Few Dollars More is probably my favorite.

Suprised no one has mentioned this classic yet.

>>212733289
Forgot pic

It’s definitely not the best but for sentimental reasons The Cowboys is my favourite. Watching it with my grandpa is a core childhood memory of mine and it really made me love movies.

The man who shot liberty valance

1. The Searchers
2. Once Upon a Time in the West
3. For a Few Dollars More
