this looks awesome. I love when they use real horses in movies. not enough horses in films nowdays.

OP here I wanted to throw a recommendation myself. I remember watching scalphunters a while ago and it was a pretty good comedy. id give it a solid 8/10

>I already watched the majority of clint eastwood films
My biggest recommendation is The Great Silence if you liked Clint being really cool in those Spaghetti Westerns. Although lots of the ones with Lee Van Cleef as the lead are awesome as well, most notably Sabata.
>binging some john wayne.
Great decision, do it. All of the John Ford/John Wayne collaborations are phenomenal.

Hey! It's got Kojak from that movie Kojak!

Shane

>SHANE COME BACK
It's actually a great movie but I hate the kid so fucking much. Horrible child actor.

>>212836852
Same. I watched it with my grandparents in the 90s and I've had that damn kid's voice yelling SHANE stuck in my head for 30 years.

>>212836542
I can't hear Kojack without thinking about Norm Macdonald's take:

a couple of decades ago, my mother watched a western where the bad guys rode off into the sunset at the end, said it was really good but didn't know the name.
anyone seen one like that?

>>212836981
Possibly The Wild Bunch (it ends with a flashback of them riding out of town), since even Peckinpah considered them to ultimately be "bad guys"

The original 12 Angry Men.

>>212833201 (OP)
anything with Jimmy Stewart. Rio Bravo is my fav western and in my top 5 movies period, Dean Martin should have been in more stuff

>>212837038
I'll check it out thanks man

>>212837387
Watch The Wild Bunch immediately if you haven't seen it. It's very bloody and very violent. Tarantello stole the cool guys walking together scene in Reservoir Dogs from The Wild Bunch.

Pretentious art slop that fails to capture any essence of a real western.

>>212838150
fair enough

Obligatory

rio bravo sucks

>>212839587

Was talking seriously about this movie with dad a while back (it couldn't be made today, only high-powered jews can get away with that sort of thing). Dad opined that it was too bad that the black lead just sort of disappered, he did a good job, had decent comedic timing.

>>212839664
What do you think of High Noon?

>>212833201 (OP)
The Western genre peaked with Sarah Gadon's upcoming Western film Flint.

>>212840168
I prefer that similar one with the guy "assimilating" apaches and has the apache who has the hots for him while the other useless bitch who goes on about feminism

>>212840201
is she died?

>>212833201 (OP)
The Great Silence

is the og true grit worth a watch? I thought the remake was okay but kinda boring.

Posting the best western that no one ever mentions.

>>212833201 (OP)
>woman in short shorts
is this actually in the movie?

Bump

>>212833201 (OP)
Not old, but old-like.

This thread rules, even if I already saw most of this.

The gunfighter (1950)
The sons of Katie elder
Dark Command

I’d strongly suggest watching these three as an informal trilogy:
Straight Shooting
Stagecoach
The Searchers
The give a broad overview of John Ford’s career in westerns and also have a thematic arc: scrappy wild early adventure, a golden age classic, and finally a bleak and complex finale.
John Wayne replaced Carey, the star of straight shooting, as Ford’s leading man after a ten year hiatus from westerns and stagecoach is a sort of “reboot” of his work in the genre. The Searchers on the other hand has multiple subtle references to his early silent westerns and portrays the fictional west that Ford created in decline. Impressively, the Searchers revives the motif of the lead rogue who is always one step above the law, but where in Straight Shooting this is light hearted and playful, in Stagecoach it is bleak and the end is fast approaching.
I think younger film fans dismiss early westerns as campy or unrealistic, talk about John Wayne being a pussy etc, and they really are missing out on something very special.

My favorite Wayne movie is The Searchers, all time classic. One of my Grandfather's favorites was Chato's Land with Charles Bronson, which is kind of Rambo-esque mixed with revenge film. If you like the Dollar's Trilogy after watching Eastwood, watch Once Upon a Time in the West. It's got Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda, and might be my favorite Spaghetti Western.

They Call Me Trinity

>>212847077
wtf is that bean-eating motherfucker's problem?

>>212847077
Ever watch My Name Is Nobody? It's Terrence Hill and it's got a similar vibe of Western/Comedy, but it worked better for me than the Trinity movies.

Kino downloading now

I haven't seen this mentioned ever

>>212842088
Not a western.

>>212833201 (OP)
among the stuff that's come out in recent years this was decent

>>212836514
this is absolutely one of the best westerns I've seen I need another like this never been able to find anything like it

>>212847442
this is a good one. based on an edward abbey novel

>>212837630
will do - I know the name but don't know if I've seen it before at some point

>>212833201 (OP)
Rio Bravo was great, my only complaint is that John Wayne at that age was really not suited for a cutesy romance subplot with a bubbly young girl. The alcoholism stuff was kino.

>>212848258
haven't seen the film but the faces on the poster look so modern - they stand out.
back in the 50s and 60s they still knew how to make someone look rough, maybe because they were still connected with rural life

>>212848840
people who legit spend most of the day working outside look different than actors wearing makeup. my wife has an uncle who is a cowboy that trains horses, gives lessons and does all that. he is in his late 60s now and decades of being outside all day has given him a leathery kind of skin texture and deep tan. he is also fit and pretty much zero body fat. its hard to find actors today who can portray such people accurately

>>212846976
>heels were invented in the 1980s

Gotta agree with >>212848840
Modern LA faggots absolutely do not work as anything else besides modern LA faggots.

kino...Kino...KIIIIINNNOOOOOOO

>>212833329
>They Died With Their Boots On
This is one of my favourites movies, but I wouldn't call it a western

>>212837987
Not even Mexicans like it

>>212848840
>>212848965
it's kinda the point
the guy on the right is supposed to be a young Scotsman who hires the Irish bounty hunter on the left to protect him

>>212847189
Communist propaganda, but fun anyways

>>212849078
It's a cavalry western

>>212849541
haha, didn't even know the one on the right was supposed to be a 'man', he looks 12. I was talking about the fresh faced faggot on the left.
>>212848916
they should just start recruiting a few guys like him and build them up to be actors - once they've done a dozen things they might be a big enough draw

>>212848600
The Far Country with James Stewart is another "Northern" that actually gets a bit grim as well.

Will Penny.

>>212836965
>SHE WAS A HOOKA!

Peckinpah's other great Western no one talks about.
It has the stateliness of an American Western with the grittiness of a Spaghetti Western (though nowhere near as gritty as Wild Bunch of course).

>based on a book written by a KKK leader
Beyond based. Clint even knew and didn't care kek.

>>212849616
Those commie italians at least knew that entertainment comes first, propaganda second.
