The Best Western

[luvmygdaughters]

What is the best western movie you've ever seen?

I'm a big fan and really wish the "powers that be" would create a series like the old Bonanza or Gunsmoke. Enough already with all the damn reality shows.

I can't pick just one!

I love McLintock and Rio Bravo and Magnificent Seven. Who would have thought that Yul Briner was such a gunslinger?!

I'm with you. I love the old western movies and tv shows - The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid, Rawhide. I still watch them when I get a chance. I was watching the re-runs as kid and I still watch them as an adult, so I think that says something.

I thought this was a tread about a Hotel

Big John Wayne fan here, so maybe True Grit or The Cowboys. And I loved the remake of True Grit as well.

Two words...James Arness! Loved that guy in Gunsmoke. I actually read the Gunsmoke Book's. I read a ton of western books and watch allot of western movies (caught up on Hell on Wheels last night) and I just like a good story without a bunch of filthy trashy stuff. Hero, villain and damsel and the good guy's win!

There are many good westerns. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the many works of Clint Eastwood yet.

Duh - he played Rowdy on Rawhide.

Also a big "Duke Wayne" fan. Love, love, love, Big Jake, McClintock, El Dorado, The Searchers, Sons of Katie Elder, just about anything the Duke did. Also, "Tombstone" with Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer and Sam Elliott, love that movie. "I'm your huckleberry" Val Kilmer was the best Doc Holiday without a doubt. I sure miss the old series though. I do on occasion get to see them on the the classic movie stations, and I forget which one it was, but one of the stations were running repeats of the old "Rifleman" show with Chuck Conners. Brought back memories from childhood days. Does anybody remember the series "Fury" with Peter Graves?

I know this will be debated but I have an old VHS black and white western with John Wayne and one of the henchmen that the Duke shoots is Clint Eastwood. It's just a split second scene and Clint looks all of 18 years old but I watched it back and forth 20 times and there's no mistaking the young Pale Rider.
