OT: Best Western...not the Hotel Chain

[MexicoHusky]

Watched The "Good The Bad and The Ugly" the other day...for about the 10th time. It's way awesome. Big fan of "A Fistful of Dollars" as well. Not sure which one I like more. Probably Good/Bad/Ugly. It's much grander in scale, but the end gun fight in Fistful is tough to match. For me Good/Bad is #1. The "Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is ok as well.

Lincoln Center Film house had a retrospective a few years back, got to see High Plains Drifter, The Good the Bad and The Ugly, and Pale Rider on the big screen again. Nothing better, unless they would let us bring a b o n g into the theater. Would have liked to see Outlaw Josey Wales, but was only available on matinee.

High Plains Drifter was the best if only for Clint's perfect character portrayal. When evil seems "good" because it was compared against something more evil.

My favorite of the Leone films is For a Few Dollars More, but they are all really good.

The only one I've seen on the big screen was the Good, Bad and Ugly at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin back in the 90s- they had all you can eat spaghetti and of course they had beer!

Other non-Eastwood Westerns I like:
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Lonesome Dove (miniseries)

 

[imno1]

One of my favorite genres. I'll recommend Tombstone, Unforgiven, The Wild Bunch, High Noon and Butch Cassidy. There are so many great westerns. And of course Blazing Saddles. DiCaprio in Djano unchained was tremendous

Not a western but who's watching Narcos on Netflix? Wow it is really good

 

[methodology]

Not a movie but Deadwood on HBO was one of the greatest written shows ever. Criminal how they ended it.

Al Swearengen was the man.

 

[mauconnfan]

High Plains Drifter - The Good, the Bad and The Ugly - 3:10 to Yuma - Tombstone

 

[B1GEast]

Pale Rider, Josey Whales, Tombstone

Tombstone had the best lines

"Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just walked all over your grave"

 

[mikejays]

Shane

 

[CL82]

You got the right actor but wrong movie. Eastwood's Unforgiven wins IMHO



For runner up I'd go for John Wayne's True Grit (which is also a great read by the way)



Honorable mention to Wayne's The Cowboys.

Hoopleheads.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Tombstone #1 for me. Unforgiven maybe #2 Pale Rider maybe # 3 Quick and the Dead maybe # 4

 

[jleves]

Without a doubt: 1) Unforgiven 2) Tombstone 3) Pale Rider

 

[WeAreUCONN]

best actor, ever in a western? Val Kilmer as Doc Hollyday!!!

 

[Taco]

Love the three everyone is saying... Another good one IMO was Young Guns - loved Emelio's Billy! Great fun

 

[WhiteDressWes]

Once Upon a Time in the West with Claudia Cardinale and the real film tough guy.

dance to the dialogue:

 

[Huskyhoops25]

"Fill yer hands you son of a bitch." Loved that scene.

 

[joober jones]

The Searchers
High Noon
The man who shot liberty valance

Is Ramblin root beer still available anywhere? How I miss it.

 

[dennismenace]

Good, Bad and the ugly. Lee Van Cleef as "Angel Eyes" and Eli Wallach as Tuco. If you are gonna talk, talk
if your gonna shoot, shoot. Classic!

 

[SixRings]

Going to go outside the normal and a few may be stretches but not by far. Don't like the oldies much as the screenplay is just boring sometimes.

1) Unforgiven

2) Dances

3) Butch

4) No Country

5) Open Range

All five of these movies I could watch over and over again, sans a game.

Ramblin' Root Beer was a root beer made by The Coca-Cola Company.[1][2] The product disappeared after Coca-Cola bought Barq's in 1995

Root Beer is Root Beer, and Birch Beer, it's all the same

I challenge you to try Teddy's root beer, available at all Tractor Supply Co stores. It's heavenly.

No, just no.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Blazing Saddles!

My favorite, non-comedy is Unforgiven with Josey Wales not far behind.

I also liked Redford's Jeremiah Johnson. Lots of other good movies in this genre.
