What's you favorite WESTREN of all time.

[Bleeding Jawa]

ANY western with Clint Eastwood is "Golden" in my book, but my all-time favorite is "For a Few Dollars More" (2nd movie in the Sergio Leone trilogy)...Lee Van Cleef is awesome!!!

My faves:
1. For a Few Dollars More. (1966)
2. Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid (1967)
3. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1966)
4. A Fist Full of Dollars (1964)

Any Clint eastwood or John Wayne western is good. Those were real men. And the ladies in them were real women too.

1, For a few dollars more.
2, The good, the bad and the ugly.

 

[Ulysses]

Shane.

I was about 8 when I saw it, same as one of the characters.

aaaahhhhh...once again, we are all to be chastised for for failing to utilize the sacred "Search Function" before posting. :Q

Nope. It's just that my response is the second one, and I thought maybe some might be interested in what's gone before.

Don't be so sensitive.

 

[Netopia]

Tombstone

Blazing Saddles. If you haven't seen that movie, you need too. You will laugh so hard...

blazing saddles.

TGTBATU was one of my faves. CE was great.

 

[Daedalus]

Little Big Man

 

[Bleeding Jawa]

Hey, Dustin Hoffman...I didn't think of that one.

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

I've never been able to sit throught The Good the Bad and the Ugly or the other 2 in the series. I dunno what it is, they just keep putting me to sleep, even during the middle of the day. So I would have to concur and say my 2 favorite westerns are Blazing Saddles and Tombstone.

Peacock...you must be one of those people who cannot appreciate "atmosphere."

You would NEVER make it all the way through my favorite movie (Lawrence of Arabia). At nearly four hours long, I have watched it twice in a row (back-to-back) before, yet my wife has NEVER been able to make it through the whole thing without leaving or falling asleep.

Good Stuff!!!

I can honestly say I don't remember ever watching a whole western movie but Silverado, but I _loved_ it. Blzing Saddles was a classic, too, but I'd place it under the category "Mel Brooks." I think I've found some new rental material, though...

 

[DABANSHEE]

I can honestly say that Sergio Leone's (of the 'Dollars' trilogy fame) 'Once apon a time in the West' is the best Western of all time, & I'm sure every single person who has seen that movie agrees. Plus I'm sure that everyone who has nominated other movies will change their mind once they see this movie.

It is the supreme western with Henry Fonda playing the nastiest bad guy ever seen in a western, Claudia Cardinale as the heroine, plus Charles Bronson (I think this is the only movie he actually 'acted' in) & Jason Robards as the good guys. Plus the perfect music score of Ennino Morricone (also of the 'Dollars' trilogy fame). When the film was realeased, critics nicknamed the film 'dancing with death' as the film score was done first & all the acting was done to the music score (like a rock video) so it appeasred that everyone was acting in rythym to the music, including the hoof steps of the horses.

BTW, if you do see it, do it justice & see it in a rerun theatre with stereo sound in wide screen, the family massacre scene near the begining, with its hauting music score must be seen in wide screen, plaease.

It has been asked before several times but it's still fun. I liked 'Once apon a time in the West' DABANSHEE but it isn't on my list of favs. Which invlude Tombstone(no 1 easily), The Outlaw Josey Wales and The Long Riders.

The Early Eastwood films are excellent, the "Dollars" movies, The Good, The Bad and da Ugly and Hangem' High. Paint Your Wagon anyone?

 

[dennilfloss]

"Once Upon A Time In The West" isn't bad but I prefer by far its 2 immediate predecessors (their music is better and they do not have Bronson in them). You probably liked "My Name Is Nobody" and its insipid sequels (all with *ack* Terence Hill :Q ). I'm an avid Lee Van Cleef fan, so I would definitely prefer the "Sabata" movies.
