[Big Slick]

Well, I guess I’ll throw this one out there…

Little Big Man

 

[BigHornRam]

Paint your Wagon needs a mention.

 

[Duck-Slayer]

1- Pretty much all of John Wayne’s
2- Pretty much all of Clint Eastwood’s
3- Sam Elliot - Conagher and the Sackett’s
4 - Lonesome Dove
5 - tie -Jimmy Stewart’s / Open Range
HM - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
- Wyatt Earp and Tombstone
- Magnificent Seven

Now we’re talking… I personally grew up watching this list, with both my grandpa’s, my dad, and by myself! So I probably watch this list more than anyone alive, and watch them now with my kids!

Annie Proulx's short story and Larry McMurtry's screenplay about sheep herding in Wyoming.

I’ve honestly never met another person who’s seen this, but I thought it was excellent.

Not every day you get to see a western/horror fusion.

 

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

Totally spaced adding Long Riders.

Dad took me to see that in the theater back in the day when I was in 6th or 7th grade , a gem in my western DVD collection

 

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

Another Honorable mention is The Red Headed Stranger with Willie Nelson ,
Had it on VHS back in the day , it’s never been released on DVD that I can find

Also can’t believe I forgot

Little Big Man it’s a classic

 

[Irrelevant]

Wow, some real revelations here.
1. I didn't know there were so many westerns
2. I also didn't know that every movie that has a cowboy hat qualifies as a western.
3. Apparently I'm like the only one that really enjoys exceptional horsemanship.

Butch and Sundance with an easy #1 (possible #1 all-time any genera)
Man from Snowy River I & II (one is a better movie, but 2 has the most impressive horse riding scene ever).
Quigley (com'on we all pretended to be Quigley at one point or another)
Blazing Saddles. Try to imagine that movie coming out today? Not possible.

The good the bad and the ugly.
Rancho deluxe
Unforgiven
Pale rider
And for my eleven year old son The Ridiculous Six

 

[WildWill]

Wind River was very good for Marlin levers.

It was good for a neo/western hell or highwater and sicarrio are better IMO. I was a little confused at what his actual job was a "government hunter"? Dude just rolled around on a snow mobile all day shooting alpha predators like a boss. In real life he'd have been filing paper work on those first coyotes he shot for the following 2 hours of run time.

Post #73 if you can handle it.

As for neo, No Country/Cormac is the gold standard.

How bad can it be w Eastwood and Lee Marvin? This bad:

...& Cat Ballou, Jane's sexy era & Lee Marvin & his horse were hilarious.

2) Dances with wolves
3) Quigley down under
4) Jerimiah Johnson
5)Tombstone
6) Unforgiven
7) The good the bad & the ugly
8) Hostiles

10) Josey Wales

Alright, I’m going to throw the flag on Quigley. It’s a great movie that I like a lot, but it was in Australia. Westerns have to be based in the western U.S.
