the greatest western of all time

A feminist western is a contradiction in terms.

…. is:

... My Darling Clementine.

My favorite is Il Mercenario. Franco Nero plays an absolute smooth pimp daddy in that one.

day of anger

I liked The Ballad of Lefty Brown.

Outlaw Josey Wales mogs

John Wayne and Clint Eastwood are the most overrated western stars.

>>215307463 (OP)

It's a HECKIN INDICTMENT of the MIDEVAL savagery of the west. It's an ANTIWESTERN

>>215307463 (OP)
that's not 3:10 to Yuma

>>215307463 (OP)
It’s pretty mid compared to the greats

Little Bill and English Bob were the only good parts of Unforgiven.

Bull-fucking-shit.

Overrated as hell.

>>215307525
I'd argue this edges it out just slightly.

>>215307463 (OP)
It's Clint Eastwood's sixth best western of all time.

Not even the best of the trilogy.

It's not a trilogy.

overrated shit because it has a black guy in a prominent role.

I'll take my westerns with no niggers, thank you

>>215307824
Original or remake?

>>215309586
>because there were no niggers in the American west

>>215309620
he's a zoomer, so i doubt he even knows there's an "original"

I was baited by google into watching The Power of the Dog (#2 best western of all time they said) and Meek's Cutoff.
I could use a good western to cure my eyes right now.

>>215307463 (OP)
Is it really that good?

>>215307463 (OP)
I doubt that it's the best Western, but it is kind of the Last Western. In the last remnants of the Wild West, people who lived through the 30 years that were the Wild West go through an empty and futile re-enactment of what was once normal and is now so aberrant it becomes entertainment. The writer guy was the audience.

>>215309687
good's got nothing to do with it,

>>215307824
Original or remake?

>>215307525
Cliche answer, but still correct

In my pleb opinion it's the assassination of Jesse James. Might not have the grit of older westerns but you have to admit that train robber scene was pure cinematography.

For me!

>>215307609
I’m a Sabata guy personally.

>>215311272
look, im a very simple man who enjoys lee van cleef kinos and for a few dollars more is the best movie of the trilogy

>>215311304
It's not a trilogy.

>>215307919
That's because you're a psued who confuses contrarianism with insight.

>>215307824
Remake or original?

>>215307463 (OP)
Little Bill was the hero. Why does that confuse so many people?

>What if you made your Western hero a simp?
Nah.

>>215312634
Putting the western aspect of the movie aside, the neat little over-arching hero/villain swap this movie does is what has always interested me. It’s done so seamlessly.
I know it has to have been done before but I struggle to think of stories where this occurs.

>>215307463 (OP)
Is Tombstone.

for a few dollars more, closely followed by tombstone

>>215307463 (OP)
I have no clue how anyone can think this is among the best westerns. The whole premise of leaving you 10 and 5 year old, home alone, for several weeks is absolutelty crazy and almost sociopatic.

>>215313194
I was just going to post this.

>>215312634
Little bill was a bully and criminal and killer himself, not every story has a hero.

Good pick.

>>215313194
Some of the few revisionist westerns worth watching.

>>215311982
Yep. There are so many scenes in the wild bunch that speak volumes with 0 dialogue it's a fucking amazing film. Real comedy and horror, honor and betrayal, violence and tenderness. Kino for the ages and if you've never seen it before I envy you the experience of watching it for the first time.

That is like a Disney film

Around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon! In the merry month of May, and if you asked her why the fuck she wore it? She wore for her man in the US cavalry!

Is Lonesome Dove a western? Something about its morality and callousness towards its characters really stuck with me

>>215314922
Sounds like an eastern. Guess we'll never know.

for me it's the Searchers

in the dictionary next to overrated. this could have been made for tv if it didn’t have such good actors.

>>215315185
im pogchamping!

>>215307463 (OP)
It's not even a Western. It's an Eastern. The film's hero is an alcoholic mass murderer sent on some Boondoggle to murder a couple of cowboys who don't even deserve to die. And the badguy is an honourable sheriff who's trying to stop his town from descending into lawlessness and debauchery.

For me it's Once Upon A Time in The West
